If you are looking for a sports cruiser loaded with versatility then the Beneteau Gran Turismo 46 delivers in spades.
Not only do you have the choice of whether or not to have cockpit doors but you can choose between two or three cabins and sterndrives or IPS.
Air Step® 2 technology is the incorporation of a hydrodynamic forward and aft hull design that allows the Gran Turismo 46 to operate at planing speeds on a “cushion” of air. Air is sucked under the boat from vents on the chines and forward and exits at the transom. By reducing water adhesion to the hull and reducing friction, the boat becomes easier to push. What results is reduced fuel consumption, increased maximum speed and more nimble handling at planing speeds.
Replacing her 44-foot predecessor, the Beneteau Gran Turismo 46 incorporates a redesigned main deck and cockpit, which includes two large electrically reclining seats. The Gran Turismo 46 offers the handling ease of Beneteau’s previous smaller model while making use of many of the details found in her 49’ big sister. This once again illustrates Beneteau’s ongoing attention to the evolution of technology and customer feedback. Propelled by dual Volvo Penta 435-hp IPS 600 engines, Air Step 2 engineering provides increased fuel efficiency and maneuverability.
