Beneteau may be a French company, but the Gran Turismo 36 was proudly made and manufactured in Cadillac, Michigan. This 38-foot long vessel is built for distance, speed, and comfort. She cuts through the water seamlessly and is perfect for zooming through lakes, rivers and along the coasts.
The GT 36 arrived in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and is available for sale. She can accommodate up to seven guests, making her an ideal boat for families or entertaining guests. Her standout features include an optional joystick pilot system, a comfortable outdoor gally, and a functional cabin with plenty of natural light.
The exterior deck is all one level and enhanced for comfort, entertaining guests, and taking in the views. Cooking meals in the outdoor gally is a breeze with a sink, electric grill, refrigerator, and trash receptacle. The cooking station is separate from the shaded lounge area so you’re not flipping patties with your back to seated guests. The outdoor shaded lounge area features opposing U-shaped and L-shaped seating that makes it easy and comfortable to socialize over lunch and drinks on the water.
The GT 36 provides excellent options for shaded or sunfilled lounging. There’s a spacious sunbathing area facing the aft and an additional sun pad at the bow with built-in speakers. Both spots provide extensive views and a healthy dose of sun. When you’re ready to cool off, a raised and walkable swim platform at the aft makes it easy (and tempting) to dive in once anchored.
The bow of the boat curves down providing the captain with a sweeping view from the helm. There’s optional added visibility from an electric sunroof. A port side seat at the helm is a smart addition for extra eyes on the water, and of course, to keep the captain company.
Moving inside, there’s a pleasant amount of natural light inside the cabin that opens up the space. The GT 36 includes two private cabins and a separate head with a walk-in shower so you to easily rinse off after a dip in the saltwater. Indoor and outdoor features include plenty of space to store coolers, kitchen utensils, extra clothes, and swim toys.
Gran Turismo 36 is an excellent day boat for cruising from dusk till dawn. If you want to learn more, check out the Boat Test review of her features and performance. The Beneteau GT36 is for sale with Denison Yachting.
