This article is a transcription of the 41 Beneteau GT video from Denison’s Youtube Channel. Tune in daily to discover the latest yacht video walkthroughs from the world’s largest yacht video collection. Watch the full video below:
Ryan: Ladies and gentlemen, I am excited to introduce to you Mr. Brian Nobles. He was the 2022 Beneteau Top Gun Salesperson of the year. If anybody knows anything about Beneteau’s, it’s this guy right here. He’s about to have twins. And he wants to show you a boat.
Brian: Hey, good afternoon everyone. Brian Nobles coming to you from Harbour Town Marina in Dania Beach. Wanted to take you on board the 2023 Beneteau GT 41 today. The beautiful boat sitting right behind me. So this boat is equipped with twin 380 horsepower Volvo Penta Engines also has a joystick and a bow thruster, so it makes extremely easy to maneuver her at the dock, especially in tight spots. She is a two cabin, one head layout. Has generator, air condition in the cockpit. She has a nice retractable roof. So on daylight today, you can keep that roof open, get a nice vacuum going.
So before we go on the interior of the boat, I did want to just point the layout here. Forward to me right here is the forward VIP state room. Right behind there is the galley down with a little L-shaped couch. In Midship here is the master state room, that unique feature in the boat. You have two twin beds, or you could go ahead and put the divider piece in, which go ahead and make you a full bed.
The GT 41 has been around now for two years. Very impressive running hull. She does have the stepped hull, helped to get her out of the water a little quicker, create less friction, better fuel economy for you as you’re underway.
The nice thing about this boat is it makes for a great day boat to head to the sandbar. You can cruise up and down the intercostal, even a good boat to run over to Bahamas with, for a 41-foot express cruiser, you really do not feel like you’re on a 41-foot boat. It feels more just a spacious layout, much more inviting.
So as we board the boat, this is the electric swim platform. She goes down, serves as pretty much a floating beach for the boat. It’s really a great feature to have. As you notice right here, the shore power cord comes right out. A nice little area right here for laying out, which is absolutely just perfect, especially on a sunny day like today.
This area below is great for storage as well, lines, life jackets, fenders, anything along those lines, and that just pops right up. So what’s nice right here, what this Sun Pad is, this bench does pull forward like that. So if you wanted to go ahead and lay right out, this’ll go forward. This backrest sits like so.
Or if you just want to use it flat as a backrest, she locks right into place there. I also love this right here. They put two cup holders on each side, so when you’re sitting there on your sun pad, great to hold your water, beer, whatever be the case.
Right next to the boarding gate right over here, which is great if you have little kids running around anything. Pets keeps them right in place. For a 41-foot express cruiser, she offers a tremendous layout right here. Great for entertaining everybody hanging out. As you notice all the seating right here with storage underneath some of these, and a table that opens right up. Right here to my right is the grill, which is very convenient. I’m going to go ahead and grill out those burgers, hotdogs, the little sink wash down station right there. And then right behind me is the refrigerator right here. And you also have a refrigerator downstairs as well in the galley.
This boat is equipped with the 380 horsepower engines. The standard is the 300 horsepower engine package. Also down there is access to your generator. Another great feature on this boat is on each side you have these windows. They’re manual, they slide right open. They get a great breeze right through to keep everyone in the boat nice and cool as you’re moving along.
So I was lucky enough this morning to have Captain Steve run this boat, which he can attest to. This is a very fun running boat out on the open ocean. How could it not be? She’s equipped with Center Helm. You have great visibility and right in arms reach is the joystick. Great buddy there to help you out if you’re in a docking situation, could have high winds or you in a tight spot. This is great to go ahead and maneuver the boat. You also have access to the bow thruster right there as well, just in case you need a little extra help.
I do love the garment electronics. It is touchscreen, your radar, your autopilot, everything. It’s all fully integrated. You have access to the Fusion Stereo System, all your rocker panels for your windshield wipers, your anchor, your roof, your horn. So this boat is equipped with the Air Step Hall. It’s a combination of air and water that get inside and shoot through the hall to help her get out of the water a little quicker, ride a little higher, create less friction, so you get better fuel economy. You get better performance at just over 40 miles per hour in this boat. She handles very well, well underway with that air staff call in place.
I’ve actually run a GT 41 over to Bimini and I was beyond impressed with how well she handled heading over. Perfect boat over there to go ahead and do scuba diving off of do snorkeling, swimming off the back with the Electric Swim platform, this boat is equipped with some great amenities to make for a perfect day out on the water with your friends or your family.
So now coming up to the bow, we have a great area here for laying out a beautiful feature just in case the sun becomes a little too much, you can put up the Bimini top. And this will go ahead and this hooks right into place. And on each side, cuff holders, so right in front of the sun pads here is an access hatch that takes you right down into the VIP forward state room.In front of the access hatch here is the anchor locker for your windless. You have a little bit of storage down there. You can put some fenders or some extra lines of course, access to the windless itself. This is a great, safe area to come hang out with your family friends while you’re at anchor.
Now that we’ve checked down all the exterior features on this boat, let’s go ahead and dive down into the cabin, check out the impressive layout down there, starting with the salon. And as we enter down in the salon of the GT 41, I love one of the impressive features. They do have your controls right here for your air conditionings to switch over from shore power, your battery control, your battery bank. Everything’s right there. Very user friendly.
The dinette actually is a high low table as well. So what’s great is you have a cushion that goes right over this. So if you want to have another little sleeping area right here, that is also another great option.
Now let’s take a look at the galley starboard side. You do have access to the refrigerator right there, directly above your refrigeration is a little cooktop, and right to the left of that is the sink. Television right above that. Little extra storage right behind there. And right to the right of that is the microwave.
This boat is equipped with two cabins and one head. It’s actually a pretty impressive head considering the room that you have. I stand about five 10, so if you take a look, really, I mean, you could get somebody in here that’s 6’5 and you’re still going to have pretty good room to maneuver. She is a day head. But once again, as you’re in here, you still do have some pretty good working room.
The first cabin is the master suite. You do have the twin configuration, but there’s also a nice little piece that goes right in here. So if you want to make it into a full bed, you’ll also notice that you do have some great natural light on both sides of the boat. This is the new GT 41 design with the windows on the side.
The makeup of the GT 40 didn’t have that much natural light, but this one brings in a ton of natural light, which is great. And right in front of me here is your forward state room. You have the access panel right up there. You have some nice large windows right here to give that natural light and the blinds that come right down on each side, storage on both sides, which is great, and the television.
And thank you so much for joining me today on this walkthrough video of the Beneteau GT 41. We’ve run over a lot of great features of the boat and as I mentioned, she is a ton of boat for the value. I mean for 41-foot boat that a lot of the competition does not offer, and when it comes down to the value for the dollar, nine times out of 10, the Beneteau always takes it home.
If you have any questions about this boat specifically or any similar models to, please feel free to reach out to me, more than happy to help you out. Once again, my name is Brian Nobles with Denison Yachting out of the Fort Lauderdale office.
