2018 Beneteau Gran Turismo 40

The 2018 Beneteau Gran Turismo 40 is a sport cruiser built on a fiberglass hull with clean, sporty lines accented by a hardtop and carefully proportioned side glazing. Designed by Nuvolari and Lenard, the boat combines purposeful aesthetics with thoughtful interior organization and quality finishes. Power comes from twin Volvo D-4 diesel engines producing 600 horsepower total, paired with Volvo Duo-Prop outdrives. The yacht reaches a top speed of 38 knots and cruises at 32 knots, delivering responsive handling and stability.

The cockpit is generously sized and unusually laid out, accommodating up to 11 people. Two galley configurations are possible—positioned either aft or integrated into the cockpit—allowing flexibility to match different cruising preferences. The hardtop includes a retractable roof section, and the outdoor spaces are equipped with heating and air conditioning for year-round comfort.

Below deck, the yacht features two cabins and one head, with well-organized interiors that prioritize livability. The Air Step hull design enhances both performance and safety across a range of speeds. The boat is equipped with a full complement of systems and hardware suited to extended cruising.
