2017 Beneteau Gran Turismo 49

The 2017 Beneteau Gran Turismo 49 is a 51-foot express cruiser built around a practical three-stateroom layout. Twin Volvo Penta D6 IPS 600 diesel engines deliver 870 horsepower combined, with joystick control at the helm and counter-rotating propellers for enhanced maneuverability. The boat cruises at 30 knots and reaches a top speed of 25 knots. Fiberglass construction and comprehensive systems throughout provide a solid foundation for extended cruising.

Accommodations center on three staterooms, each with queen-size beds and ensuite heads featuring separate showers. The wheelhouse salon opens to the cockpit via a glass door and features an electrically operated roof panel, a six-seat wooden bench with matching table, bar, and integrated storage. A panoramic view runs the length of the salon. The galley is well-appointed with a ceramic two-burner hob, 24-liter microwave, 270-liter fridge-freezer, and a stainless steel sink.

Deck spaces include a natural wood cockpit with a Kenyon grill cooker and separate 42-liter refrigerator, a hydraulic swim platform with removable stainless steel ladder, and an integrated garage for a tender up to 2.85 meters. The boat carries a 13.5 kVA generator, a comprehensive electrical package with eight 12-volt batteries, a 24V/110V inverter, and full electronics including FLIR. Dual fuel tanks hold 650 liters each, and a launching ramp and winch are installed for the dinghy tender.
