New Model: Beneteau Gran Turismo 45

Beneteau presents the new Gran Turismo 45, which replaces the 2016 launched 46 model setting new standards in terms of functionality and on board hospitality. With its large windows, vast sundeck and U-shaped cockpit, the Beneteau GT 45 fosters conviviality and the enjoyment of a great indoor-outdoor experience. Designed by Andreani with its sleek lines and sporty hull, this fourteen metre sport cruiser features elegant details such as the metallic grey “fashion plates” fixed to the sides of the hard-top and on the engine air intakes. The hard-top and the large hull windows, a feature of the new generation of Express Cruiser, give the boat a sleek, modern look and infuse the interior with soft, natural daylight. The cockpit of the Gran Turismo 45 is furnished with a vast U-shaped seat that creates a comfortable and convivial area for guests, who sit facing the Wet Bar that features a sink, fridge and ice-maker. This wet-bar contains a retractable TV that can be raised to provide entertainment. On the lower deck, all the comforts are provided to prolong the escapade at sea: a very beautiful owner's cabin at the back with its independent shower room, a guest cabin at the bow with a second shower room, a convivial saloon and a large equipped kitchen. The elegant and warm atmosphere offered by the grey walnut wood characterises the new generation of Beneteau sport cruisers. The saloon can be replaced by a third cabin with bunk beds. With its sporty look and excellent handling on the water, the Gran Turismo 45 guarantees that everyone will have a good time together on the boat. The vast sunbathing area to aft and the wide U-shaped cockpit seating offers passengers an ideal space in which to relax and chat. The Beneteau 45 Gran Turismo is power Volvo 380hp with stern drive propulsion, or optional 440hp with IPS pod propulsion. The Gran Turismo 45 also features the latest evolution of Beneteau's patented Air Step which the French boat builder introduced in 2003.
