Express cruisers are a well-rounded boat for family outings, watersports, or fishing. They offer plenty of fun in the sun while being a high-performance vessel. Express cruisers are usually equipped with a full head, galley, and sleeping space with two to six berths. They typically have large, open helm and cockpit areas to accommodate comfortable seating and promote socializing.
The Beneteau Gran Turismo line offers some of the most comfortable and seaworthy express cruisers on the market. If you’re ready to transition from a day boat (such as a center console or speed boat) to an express cruiser, look no further than the new Beneteau Gran Turismo 32 Outboard. She offers plenty of comfortable space to accommodate guests while having an open feel thanks to a retractable hardtop. Here are the standout features that make the new Gran Turismo 32 an ideal entry-level express cruiser.
Not only does the GT 32 have a sleek and sporty look but she’s also an exceptionally comfortable vessel. At the helm, there are two bolster seats behind the console that are supplemented with a double bench seat to port. This feature allows four people to comfortably share the pleasures of driving with the captain while facing the water.
The cockpit boasts a full-beam layout to establish optimal use of the area. The seats of the lounger and aft bench fold down to create a large sunbathing area. But if you’re looking for more space to soak up the sun, a safe semi-walkaround to the bow leads to the forward sun pads where you can catch some rays before diving into the water.
Keen to camp under the stars? The Gran Turismo 32 has two double berths and shower space with an independent head compartment, making nights on board a pleasure. The interior provides plenty of compartments for storage so you don’t need to pack light. Long hull windows flood the interior with natural light to highlight the walnut-colored materials that come standard with this boat. The galley on the starboard is fully fitted with a refrigerator, sink, twin burner oven, storage, and small worktop to cook delicious meals for guests. Natural light and ventilation create a spacious and open feel throughout the vessel.
One of the best highlights of the GT 32 is the powerful spray of its wake, which shows off the perfectly propelled Airstep hull. Twin outboard motors provide full portability, easy maintenance, and higher potential for top speed. With engines of up to 600 horsepower, the Gran Turismo 32 Outboard promises peak speeds of 35 knots. She has excellent power reserve for a boat whose handling is a piece of cake. This Beneteau express cruiser can be equipped (on option) with a joystick, a zipwake system, a bow drive, and two Garmin 12” screens to make driving a breeze.
Beneteau designed the GT 32 as an ideal upgrade from a day boat to an express cruiser as it offers maximum comfort, well-designed accommodations, and high performance. The Beneteau Gran Turismo 32 Outboard will be delivered to Denison Yachting in January. Contact Denison yacht broker Brian Nobles to schedule a showing.
