Beneteau Gran Turismo 40 Open (2026-)



Brief Summary

Built by a renowned French shipyard celebrated for over a century of naval mastery, this dynamic sportboat exemplifies modern open-air cruising. Tailored specifically for fast day trips, island hopping, and weekend coastal escapes, the vessel emphasizes lively performance on the water alongside inviting social spaces. The single-level main deck connects forward sunpads directly to an expansive aft gathering zone, giving passengers complete freedom to bask in the ocean breeze or relax under shelter.

Below deck, the intuitive floor plan comfortably hosts up to four overnight travelers. A forward master sanctuary provides a central double berth, while a full-width midship stateroom features twin beds that convert to a large sleeping surface. The lower galley pairs with a full head and separate shower stall. Notable enhancements include an electrically retractable hardtop, an extendable hydraulic swim deck for easy water access, and specialized joystick maneuverability for stress-free docking.

KEY FEATURES:

  • Retractable Open Roof: Features a large sliding sunroof that quickly converts the main salon into a fully sunlit space or a sheltered lounge.
  • Flexible Sleeping Spaces: Offers two private sleeping quarters, including an adjustable midship room that transforms from separate single beds into a full double berth.
  • Integrated Water Platform: Includes an optional hydraulic stern deck that lowers into the sea, simplifying tender launch and water activity access.
  • Intuitive Helm Systems: Outfitted with responsive joystick propulsion technology to ensure smooth maneuvering during tight docking situations.
