Exterior Design

One of the timeless luxuries of this world remains the luxury of choice, and in this spirit, BENETEAU offers the new Gran Turismo in different versions – outboard, sterndrive, or coupe. The expansive aft cockpit features a dual L-shaped seating arrangement and an aft-facing wet bar, creating a perfect entertainment command post. A fully equipped galley makes it perfect for weekends aboard or longer touring adventures. The foredeck sunpad with flip-up seating and a sun awning option allow for easy transitions between sun and shade, and movement across the boat is as easy as it is natural.

With twin Mercury Verado 400hp or Yanmar 320hp engines (as base engine options), the Gran Turismo 40 delivers thrilling speeds managed from a perfectly designed helm station. Sophisticated finishes, signature hull light blades, and a seamless indoor/outdoor flow set an entirely new standard in terms of what an express cruiser should offer.

Interior Design

Calm interior spaces with ambient lighting embrace the new Gran Turismo’s design ethos of simplicity or “Kanso”. The forward section flows to an island berth with ample storage while the convertible midship berth offers a lovely versatile space for movie night, for storage, for a quick nap, or whatever you feel up to.

The full-size head and shower will remind you of the comforts of home. Thoughtful touches like ambient lighting, integrated reading lights, and soft-close drawers highlight the boat’s attention to detail, making the Gran Turismo 40 a perfect blend of sophistication and practicality for modern cruisers.

Key Features of a Crossover Revolution

Alpine Flair

BENETEAU’s long-term partnership with Alpine, the high-end sport specialty brand, means customers can benefit from unique style enhancements applied to a limited edition version of the yachts. Bespoke colors include a Signal Grey hull finish with attractive black detailing across the engine covers, light fittings, door handles, cleats, rails, screen mounts, and pilot console. Navy Blue flashes are used throughout the interior design, including on furniture, upholstery, and embroidery. The result is a gorgeous express cruiser that will spark fascination in every marina from Seattle to Sydney – and everywhere in between.

Unmatched Performance & Speed

With base twin Mercury Verado 400hp outboards or Yanmar 320hp inboard engines, the Gran Turismo 40 delivers thrilling speeds paired with a helm console of masterful ergonomics. Whether you’re on an open-throttle run to your local spot or on a lazy champagne sunset cruise, the smooth ride and perfect layout will never cease to amaze both captain and guests.

Elegant & Spacious Interior Design

The Gran Turismo 40 interior features an elegant forward master berth coupled with a midship section that is as versatile as it is comfortable. A full-size head and shower section makes no concessions to comfort, allowing for short stays to be extended on a whim. Light is carefully harnessed and blends perfectly with the minimalist design, creating an area of unmistakable peace.

A Connected Boat

The mobile application, Seanapps, and its onboard unit lets you view the status of the boat's various systems (battery charge, fuel or water tank levels, maintenance scheduling) via your smartphone, as well as planning your route or reviewing your sailing status using your mobile phone.
