The New Beneteau Gran Turismo Range: Sport Cruising Redefined

Beneteau has long been one of the most respected names in the global boating industry, and the updated Gran Turismo range proves exactly why. With three distinct models - the Beneteau Gran Turismo 35, the Beneteau Gran Turismo 40, and the Beneteau Gran Turismo 50 - the French manufacturer has raised the bar for what a modern sport cruiser can deliver. At Pappas Bros, we are proud to present the full range to the Greek and Mediterranean market.

Showcased at Boot Düsseldorf 2026

The Gran Turismo lineup was among the standout presentations at Boot Düsseldorf 2026. Spread across Beneteau's exhibition space at the world's premier international boat show, all three models were displayed together for the first time, giving visitors a rare opportunity to experience the full range side by side. The response from the boating community was immediate, it is a range that combines bold design, strong performance, and genuine onboard comfort in a way few competitors can match. Our team was on the ground in Düsseldorf and came away with one conclusion: this range belongs in Greece.

Three Models, One Vision

The Gran Turismo range is built around a clear philosophy: sport cruising without compromise. Each model shares Beneteau's signature deep-V hull, delivering a confident and precise ride even in demanding sea conditions, which is an essential quality for the varied waters of the Aegean and Ionian Seas.

The Beneteau Gran Turismo 35 is the entry point of the range, and it makes an immediate impression. Compact, sporty, and impressively well-equipped, the GT 35 is the ideal day cruiser for couples or small groups who want performance and style in equal measure, with genuine overnight capability built in.

The Beneteau Gran Turismo 40 steps up with a more spacious deck layout and an enhanced cabin that suits extended coastal cruising comfortably. The cockpit is generous, the interior is well-finished, and the performance on the water is exactly what you expect from a Beneteau sport cruiser at this level.

The Beneteau Gran Turismo 50 is the flagship of the range and sets a new standard for luxury express cruisers in this segment. With a full-beam master cabin, a refined saloon, and multiple power configurations available, the GT 50 is a serious vessel for owners who want to explore the Greek islands with real speed, comfort and confidence.

What You Can Do On Board: Activities and Performance

Each model in the Gran Turismo range is designed with a specific boating lifestyle in mind, and the specifications back this up clearly.

The Gran Turismo 35, powered by twin outboard engines reaching up to 300hp, is quick to plane and effortless to handle, making it perfectly suited for water sports, fast day trips between nearby islands, and spontaneous coastal exploration.

The Gran Turismo 40, with its twin inboard configuration and a cruising speed of approximately 28 knots, is built for those longer runs between destinations. Think overnight stays in quiet bays, sundowner evenings at anchor, and comfortable multi-day cruising with family or friends.

The Gran Turismo 50 operates on an entirely different level. With IPS pod drives available, a top speed exceeding 35 knots, and a beam that allows for a full-width master stateroom below deck, this is a yacht designed for extended summer voyages, like island hopping across the Cyclades, entertaining guests in the spacious cockpit, or simply cruising the Greek coastline in genuine luxury.

Built for the Mediterranean

All three Gran Turismo models are naturally suited to Mediterranean boating. Their sporty profile combined with excellent sea-keeping ability and practical, well-thought-out deck layouts makes them a strong choice for island hopping, coastal day trips, and longer summer cruises along the Greek coastline.
