Is the Buccaneer Fluyt a suitable choice for your touring needs?
The Buccaneer Fluyt is a premium twin axle caravan designed for those who prioritise interior space and year-round comfort. Featuring an 8-foot wide chassis and a fixed bed layout with an end washroom, it offers a high-specification environment for up to 4 people. With a price range between 28000 and 46000, it sits at the flagship end of the market, requiring a powerful tow car to manage its 1965kg MTPLM.

- Fixed bed layout complemented by a spacious end washroom and separate shower.
- Alde central heating and SoLiD bonded construction for all-season use.
- MTPLM of 1965kg with a 159kg payload capacity.
Worth knowing: The 1965kg MTPLM necessitates a high-capacity towing vehicle. An 8.16m length and 2.45m width may restrict access to some smaller pitches.
Buying a Buccaneer Fluyt: Key Considerations
Who it suits
- Couples seeking a permanent fixed bed and a large end washroom.
- Year-round tourers who benefit from the Alde heating and bonded construction.
- Small families of up to 4 who require the extra living space provided by a 2.45m width.
Reasons to consider it
- High-specification interior with contemporary design and luxury furnishings.
- Robust build quality using high-strength aluminium and bonded construction.
- Excellent thermal insulation for winter use.
What to check
- Verify the specific model year as features like the panoramic sunroof or entertainment systems may vary.
- Confirm the service history of the Alde central heating system.
- Check the condition of the SoLiD bonded body shell and aluminium sides.
- Ensure your towing vehicle is legally rated for the 1965kg MTPLM.
Worth knowing: Payload is limited to 159kg, requiring careful management of heavy equipment. The 2.45m width is wider than standard caravans, which affects towing dynamics on narrow roads.
Compare the Buccaneer Fluyt with similar models
| Model | Berths | MTPLM | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Buccaneer Fluyt | 4 | 1965 kg | 8.16 m | £28,000 to £46,000 |
| Buccaneer Clipper | 4 | 1965 kg | 8.16 m | £24,500 to £46,500 |
| Buccaneer Bermuda | 4 | 2000 kg | 8.16 m | £28,000 to £46,500 |
The Buccaneer Fluyt occupies a specific niche in the luxury twin axle market, sharing its 8.16m length and 1965kg MTPLM with the Clipper, while the Bermuda and Schooner offer slightly higher 2000kg weight limits. Compared to the Bessacarr By Design 835, the Fluyt is longer and wider, providing more internal volume but requiring a more substantial tow car. The choice between these models typically rests on the specific internal layout preferences and the towing capacity of the owner's vehicle.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the external 230V socket and BBQ point to extend living space outdoors.
- Regularly inspect the seals on the panoramic sunroof to ensure long-term integrity.
- Monitor tyre pressures closely, as twin axle stability is dependent on correct inflation.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Underestimating the turning circle required for an 8.16m twin axle caravan.
- Exceeding the 1965kg MTPLM by installing heavy aftermarket accessories.
Worth knowing: The 159kg payload must cover all personal effects, gas bottles, and leisure batteries.
