2026 Beneteau Gran Turismo 40

The 2026 Beneteau Gran Turismo 40 is a fiberglass express cruiser built on modern design principles and the builder's extensive heritage. Twin Mercury engines rated at 800 total horsepower power the boat, which is controlled through joystick steering from a thoughtfully positioned helm station. The 40-foot hull spans 11 feet at the beam and balances performance with comfort across both day trips and weekend voyages.

The aft cockpit features dual L-shaped seating and an aft-facing wet bar, establishing an entertainment-focused layout. A foredeck sunpad with flip-up seating and available sun awning provides flexible outdoor space. The galley is fully equipped, and movement throughout the boat flows naturally from exterior to interior areas. The design emphasizes clean lines and an automotive-inspired aesthetic, with signature hull light details and ambient lighting that carries through the interior.

Accommodations include two cabins and one head with full shower. The forward section contains an island berth with generous storage, while the convertible midship berth provides adaptable space for sleeping, relaxation, or storage. Cabin finishes are sophisticated and understated, with integrated reading lights, soft-close drawers, and thoughtful details throughout. The full head and shower echo residential comfort standards, reinforcing the boat's focus on livability and thoughtful design.
