GRAN TURISMO 50

The Gran Turismo 50 is presented as the flagship model of Beneteau’s new “Crossover Express Cruiser” generation.

The hull design was entrusted to Dixon Yacht Design, and the overall styling is by Andreani Design.

There is a “Limited Alpine Edition” version, featuring a customized hull and exclusive finishes, offering a more distinctive aesthetic (exclusive colors and design details).

Engines: twin in-board engines — Volvo Penta with IPS transmission.

Hull: planing hull equipped with the patented Air Step® 2 technology, developed in collaboration with Volvo, combining speed, sea-keeping and comfort while underway.

Handling: Volvo joystick for easy maneuvering, autopilot, power steering — designed for smooth and intuitive navigation.

Estimated range: according to Beneteau: approx. 250 nautical miles at 22 knots (provisional figure).

Cruising speed & comfort: the combination of the planing hull + IPS + ergonomic design enables reactive, comfortable and stable navigation — suitable for both fast cruising and relaxed cruising.

Layout & onboard comfort

Outdoor living / main deck

Full-space main deck: the cockpit extends into a large protected lounge, fully opening to the outside, removing the boundary between interior and exterior.

Outdoor galley under the hard-top, which can be complemented at the aft by a countertop and grill — perfect for outdoor living.

At the bow: a large sun-lounge with a reclining backrest.

Tender garage: compatible with a rigid inflatable up to 2.90 m (e.g., Williams Minijet 280), accessible via a large hydraulic bathing platform — ideal for a jet-ski or tender.

Hydraulic submersible swim platform: for launching / retrieving the tender or water toys.

Interior – Cabins & onboard living

Multiple configurations available — typically 2 cabins + cozy lounge, or 3 cabins.

Full-beam owner’s suite: spacious, bright, with private bathroom and dressing-room-style layout.

VIP / guest cabins: often with V-berths or scissors beds, sea view, and en-suite bathroom.

Interior galley in an “L” shape with Corian® countertop, plenty of storage, fridge-freezer, ceramic hob, microwave/grill, etc.

Comfortable living area: secondary lounge opposite the galley, lots of storage, bright atmosphere thanks to large hull windows and skylights.

Intended use / Target users

The Gran Turismo 50 is designed for:

• Premium boating enthusiasts seeking a balance between performance, handling, comfort and luxury.

• Those who want to live onboard — with large interior spaces, 2 or 3 cabins, kitchen, salon, bathrooms, and large outdoor lounging areas.

• People who appreciate versatility & modularity: holidays, weekend trips, day outings, water sports (jet-ski, tender), coastal or longer cruises.

• A demanding audience when it comes to design, finish and aesthetics — clearly a yacht-style boat, not just a regular cruiser.
