Beneteau Gran Turismo 40
Overview
About this vessel
Available exclusively through Specialised Marine Sales in Mandurah WA the Beneteau GT40 is an ideal boat for our local waters with a perfect blend modern understated luxury with Thoroughbred speed and an eye for the entertainer. This is a stunning modern cruiser sure to impress the whole family.
All yearly maintenance has been done, comprehensive servicing, anti foul, prop speed and polishing. She is ready to go for the new family. Nothing to spend just step aboard and go.
From the very moment you step aboard luxury is underfoot with a Teak finished electric worm drive swim platform large enough for a couple of deck chairs so you can enjoy the transom mounted entertaining module while cooking up some local cray fish on the Kenyon grill. Wash the kids off after a swim with the rear hot and cold shower system before heading through the Port side transom door to take up a seat in one of the four Cockpit lounges exquisitely finished in typical Beneteau fashion. There is room for eight to ten of your friends and family to relax underway in the Beneteau GT40. Teak as far as the eye can see under an extended rear awning running aft complete with a full set of as new clears off the overhead hardtop incorporating an electric sunroof. A folding timber table will see an amazing meal on offer with your Isotherm Cockpit fridge and cocktail glass cabinet right to hand on the Port side. An upgraded Fusion stereo system with Helm and Cockpit controls will have the music set just right for an evening Xmas light canal cruise.
The centrally located helm will have everyone onboard talking, once again finished with Beneteau's amazing eye to detail. A leather look and stainless steel helm wheel overlooks the compact yet highly efficient helm position finished in premium materials. Vision as you can imagine is superb and with all the modern instrumentation at your finger tips this is one hell of a boat to drive if I do say so myself! Offering a dry and very sporty feel right through the RPM range running up to around 35 knots and perhaps a little more on the right day she will lean into a turn and lift the nose on the way through to power out under good RPM clean and dry. Much of this is due to the advanced hull design with its twin stepped hull drawing air in and under the hull for easier and more efficient planning at lower speeds, better fuel economies and an overall cleaner running boat.
Passing along the Port side of the helm and sliding the extended Saloon hatch / sky light open allows natural light to flood into the lower cabin area this ultra modern finish comes straight from the European market and is not matched in similar boats produced this side of the equator. The Beneteau GT 40 is in a class of its own here in Australia. Three steps down brings you to the Galley and Dinette with headroom for those well above 6 feet. Its a pleasure to be able to stand at full height in a 40 foot sports boat. A dinette to Port, ample storage below and the ability to collapse to a third berth if required. Galley to the Starboard side with all you might need to support a hungry family. LG microwave, Kenyon twin element stove, Dometic fridge / Freezer and solid benchtops for preparing the charcuterie board for the Cockpit table. The entire below deck areas are finished in modern timbers, leathers and Stainless Steel and incorporate opening stainless steel portals through the Saloon and cabins.
Your master berth to the bow with privacy door, an island style berth with storage below, opening portals finished in a Stainless Steel trim, natural light from an overhead hatch and an AC vent. This is a spacious berth for a boat in the 40 foot class with a very modern finish reflecting the overall appeal of the Beneteau GT40. Aft of the companionway and through a private cabin door running the length of the boat a pair of bunks is beautifully installed with the option of adding an infill for those that need it. Overhead lighting, those amazing portals again letting in light and fresh air complete the aft cabin. This offers the new owners a comfortable 4 pax boat overnight with the option of dropping the Saloon Dinette for a third berth if required.
Powered by a pair of Volvo Penta D6-370 diesel stern drives with just 266 hours showing on the clocks.
