Beneteau Flyer Viva 9.20 (1999) – sporty cruiser with twin Volvo Penta V6s and surprisingly spacious accommodation
The Beneteau Flyer Viva 9.20 is a popular name in the sport-cruiser segment: a boat that combines the dynamic handling of a fast motorboat with the comfort of a compact cabin cruiser. This 1999 example is built in GRP (polyester) and measures 9.20 metres in length with a beam of 3.13 metres and a practical draught of around 0.70 metres. That makes this Beneteau interesting not only for larger waters, but also for inland waterways and lakes, where—according to its history—it has mainly been used. The result is a cruiser that invites day trips, weekend getaways and relaxed time on board.
Beneteau Flyer Viva 9.20 now in the online auction. Anyone can bid up to and including 20 April 2026.
Hull, handling and performance on the water
The V-hull of the Beneteau Flyer Viva 9.20 is designed for comfortable planing and a stable course, even when the water gets a bit choppy. In practice, this translates into a boat that gets on plane quickly and steers pleasantly from the inside helm position with steering wheel. With two inboard Volvo Penta 4.3 engines (V6), each producing 225 hp, there is ample power for sporty driving as well as relaxed cruising. The stated cruising speed is around 50 km/h, while a top speed of approximately 74 km/h is possible, depending on load and conditions. The Duo-Prop drives with stainless-steel propellers contribute to direct acceleration and efficient power transfer, which is especially noticeable when pulling away and manoeuvring.
Engines: twin Volvo Penta 4.3 (2018) with low hours
A key advantage of this Beneteau is its engine setup: both Volvo Penta 4.3 engines are from 2018 and have approximately 140 operating hours. They start electrically and are supplied by a 400-litre petrol tank, providing a comfortable range for longer day trips or a weekend on the water. According to the available information, the engines and drives are operational, and documentation is present, including invoices for the engines and winter storage/maintenance. For buyers looking for a Beneteau Flyer Viva 9.20 with modern engines, this is a relevant feature.
Manoeuvring and deck equipment
Docking and departing are supported by an electric bow thruster, offering extra control especially in marinas and in crosswinds. The boat is also equipped with an electrically operated anchor windlass with one anchor on chain and line—useful for anchoring on lakes or quiet anchorages. The self-draining cockpit contributes to practical use in changing weather conditions.
Outside, this sport cruiser offers an inviting cockpit with a cockpit table, exterior cushions and a bimini for shade. With the cockpit tent/canopy (cabrio enclosure), the cockpit can be configured flexibly: open on sunny days or sheltered when it is cooler. The swim platform with swim ladder makes swimming and watersports easy, and the guardrail provides extra safety on deck.
Interior, headroom and onboard comfort
Inside, the headroom of approximately 1.95 metres stands out immediately, making the cabin feel remarkably spacious for a 9-metre cruiser. The layout is aimed at comfortable stays, with a fixed berth for two people and additional sleeping options for two more. This makes the Beneteau Flyer Viva 9.20 suitable for couples planning weekend trips, as well as for families who want to stay overnight on board from time to time.
The accommodation includes a dinette, mattresses, a cooker and a refrigerator, making independent onboard living very feasible. Hot water is available via a boiler that can run on the engine or electrically, which is convenient after cruising or while staying in the marina. There is a shower and a manual toilet; the toilet discharge goes directly overboard, something to consider depending on the cruising area and local regulations. The water tank capacity is approximately 100 litres.
Electrical system and navigation
The electrical system is set up for both 12V and 220V use, with shore power, battery charger, alternator and voltmeter. Two batteries are present with a total capacity of 210 Ah, suitable for using onboard equipment during trips and in port.
In terms of navigation and instruments, the boat is equipped with, among other things, GPS, chartplotter, depth sounder, fishfinder, compass and log/speedometer. On board there are also gauges such as a fuel gauge, oil pressure gauge, temperature gauge and tachometer. It is known that the tachometers do not function correctly and that the temperature gauges are loose; these are points of attention for a buyer who wants everything fully operational.
Usage history and overall impression
This Beneteau Flyer Viva 9.20 comes from a Belgian owner who has stopped boating. According to the explanation, the boat has been used relatively little, which aligns with the low engine hours. The boat was taken out of the water in 2025 for maintenance and received an antifouling treatment in 2026. No indications of osmosis have been reported. The overall impression is of a spacious, comfortable sport cruiser that is ready to use, with extras including lines and fenders included in the sale.
For anyone looking for a Beneteau motorboat with twin Volvo Penta V6s, lively planing performance, a practical cockpit with cabrio enclosure and a cabin that invites overnight stays, this Flyer Viva 9.20 offers an attractive combination of speed, comfort and ease of use.
