CRUISERS YACHTS 34 GLS

-

SPECS: LOA: 35'10" BEAM: 11'8" DRAFT (MAX): 2'5" DRY WEIGHT: 14,530 lb. SEAT/WEIGHT CAPACITY: Yacht Certified FUEL CAPACITY: 217 gal. AVAILABLE POWER: Single or twin Mercury outboards to 600 hp total

The newest in Cruisers Yachts’ fleet of GLS boats, a group of boats that ranges up to 42 feet in length, the 34 GLS shines as an example of a design informed by the desires of those boaters who seek to impress and entertain their guests while retaining the ability to enjoy weekends aboard with a smaller group in high style and plush comfort.

Of course, any boat’s ability to fulfill its promise starts with its ride and performanc­e. The 34 GLS utilizes Mercury outboard power to deliver brisk speeds, shallow-draft capability for visiting beaches and coves, and quiet, vibrationf­ree operation. The exclusive JPO joystick greatly enhances maneuverab­ility—and lowers the stress level of the helmsperso­n— while docking or in other tight spots, giving the captain confident control. Just twist or push the joystick in the direction you need the boat to go, and it goes there.

The topside layout serves as a blueprint for a boat built to host a party. There are easy and natural pedestrian traffic routes for milling and mingling guests. And the ambience is fresh and modern thanks to aesthetic cues such as the angular edges of the helm, lounges and other items. Specifics include an innovative aft cockpit with two designer-style convertibl­e lounges, the one to starboard larger than the one to port. The backrests of these can be arrayed to face forward or aft, and the larger one becomes a sun lounge. The broad swim platform provides unfettered water access and easy boarding dockside, and expands socializin­g space. In the bow, find additional elegant seating. Sit around the table, or fill the center and create another big sun lounge.

Belowdecks, find a well-lit and stylish space with a private aft stateroom (you’ll claim this space), and a forward dinette that converts into a spacious berth. The lower galley boasts a refrigerat­or, microwave and TV. The 34 GLS’s head rivals that of larger cruising boats with its vessel sink, residentia­l-style commode, standing shower and designer fixtures.
