2026 • Beneteau Gran Turismo 40

Born from both modern data and well over a century of boatbuilding experience, the Gran Turismo 40 beautifully redefines the world of express cruising, leaving in its wake the restrictions, compromises and imperfections of yesteryear. Ideal for both day trips and weekend getaways, it provides mind-bending comfort, state-of-the-art technology, and a sleek, automotive-inspired aesthetic. To see it, to drive it is to know – powerboating will never be the same. One of the timeless luxuries of this world remains the luxury of choice, and in this spirit BENETEAU offers the new Gran Turismo in different versions – outboard, sterndrive or coupe. The expansive aft cockpit features a dual L-shaped seating arrangement and a aft-facing wet bar, creating a perfect entertainment command post. A fully equipped galley makes it perfect for weekends aboard or longer touring adventures. The foredeck sunpad with flip-up seating and a sun awning option allow for easy transitions between sun and shade, and movement across the boat is as easy as it is natural.

With twin Mercury Verado 400hp or Yanmar 320hp engines (as base engine options) the Gran Turismo 40 delivers thrilling speeds managed from a perfectly designed helm station. Sophisticated finishes, signature hull light blades, and a seamless indoor/outdoor flow set an entirely new standard in terms of what an express cruiser should offer.


Calm interior spaces with ambient lighting embrace the new Gran Turismo’s design ethos of simplicity or “Kanso”. The forward section flows to an island berth with ample storage while the convertible midship berth offers a lovely versatile space for movie night, for storage, for a quick nap, or whatever you feel up to.

The fullsize head and shower that will remind you of the comforts of home. Thoughtful touches like ambient lighting, integrated reading lights, and soft-close drawers highlight the boat’s attention to detail, making the Gran Turismo 40 a perfect blend of sophistication and practicality for modern cruisers.
