In the wake of the announcement of their groundbreaking new crossover express cruiser range, BENETEAU lifts the curtain to unveil its luxurious new flagship – the Gran Turismo 50.  
Designed around a revolutionary approach to layout, looks and ergonomics, and borne of the brand’s intimate understanding of the evolving needs and expectations of boaters around the world, this new yacht offers a seriously versatile platform that retains the thrilling go-anywhere ethos of the Gran Turismo concept. 

Exterior Design 

Behind the Gran Turismo 50’s aggressively stylish good looks hide a platform of unique versatility, with a secure layout underway that seamlessly converts to villa-like real estate once the yacht is moored. Expansive relaxation areas are linked by the free-flowing main deck, which organically consolidates itself into a convenient passageway leading to the beautiful three-season helm station. Whatever the mood, whatever the mission – the Gran Turismo 50 is a master at adaptation. 

Interior Design 

If this flagship’s exterior design can satisfy any mood, her stately interior is clearly a place of peace, combining serene colorways and materials with an exquisite study in physical comfort. The brand’s 140+ years of boatbuilding experience are on evident display, whether your attention lingers on the lighting, the volumes, the ergonomics or simply the overall fit and finish. Living aboard becomes just living, and that’s the way it should be. 

Alpine flair 

The Gran Turismo concept was born in the automotive world, and BENETEAU went just there to enhance and enrich this new class of crossover express cruisers. Partnering with legendary brand Alpine, the new Gran Turismos are now offered in limited edition versions which feature engine upgrades, colored hulls, and stylish accents across the boats that will set them apart from everything you thought you knew. 

Japanese-Inspired Design Philosophy 

Guided by the principles of Kanso (simplicity) and Yugen (gracefulness), the Gran Turismo 50 features a harmonious exterior and a serene interior. From the graceful hull lines to the ambient lighting in cabins, every detail is crafted to evoke balance, clarity, and elegance. 

Optimum Drive Experience 

Powered by Volvo joystick control and equipped with an eco-drive system, the Gran Turismo 50 offers an exceptional range of up to 250 miles at 22 knots (provisional). The bespoke user interface and choice between open or protected helm stations ensure a smooth, intuitive driving experience for all conditions.
