Beneteau 40: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Beneteau Gran Turismo 40 is designed to foster a social atmosphere while enhancing interior comfort. This model emphasizes spaciousness and functionality, aiming to provide an enjoyable experience both on deck and below. The boat features thoughtful design elements that cater to entertaining and relaxation, making it suitable for gatherings and extended cruising.
Exterior Design and Social Areas
The swim platform extends 4 feet 3 inches from the transom and spans 10 feet 6 inches in width, with 3 feet 6 inches of it electrically actuated to lower. A notable feature integrated into the platform is an electric grill accompanied by a sink with hot and cold running water, all supported by gas assist struts. The cockpit offers two primary social zones: the swim platform and the cockpit itself, which comfortably seats ten people facing each other to encourage conversation. Adjacent to the seating is dedicated wine and glass storage, as well as a cockpit refrigerator. A centrally located pedestal table can be lowered and fitted with a cushion to create a sun pad or swiveled and extended into a dining table serving various seating areas. Storage is abundant beneath the seats, including a dedicated space for a 54-quart carry-on cooler. The cockpit deck features non-skid surfaces, with an option for teak decking for a more upscale appearance. Ventilation is enhanced by optional opening side windows and an opening sunroof, collectively providing 35 square feet of open space. Controls for lighting, side windows, and the electric swim platform are conveniently located just inside the cockpit.
Bow and Deck Access
The bow area serves as an additional relaxation spot, accessible via side decks on both port and starboard. Safety and comfort are addressed with 20-inch high side rails angled outward to provide 14 inches of clearance from the cabin sides. The cabin top features integrated handholds and secure points for fenders. Cushions on the bow measure 6 feet 8 inches across and front to rear, convertible into chaise lounges. A tinted glass skylight above the entryway provides natural light to the lower cabin, with the entry itself widened and curved for improved access.
Interior Living Spaces
Below deck, the layout emphasizes open space with an L-shaped seating area to port and the galley directly opposite. The head is positioned just to starboard and serves both the four and a half staterooms. The salon accommodates dining for four at the settee and includes ample storage with garage-style cabinets overhead. Opening port lights on both sides allow for ventilation and natural light, complemented by blinds for privacy. The interior finishes borrow elements from Beneteau's more upscale Monte Carlo line, featuring leather-wrapped stainless grab handles, matte walnut Alpi wood finishes, leather inlays in doors, and leather door pulls, contributing to a refined ambiance.
Galley
The galley is well-equipped with abundant storage above, featuring garage-style opening doors. It includes a microwave, a solid surface countertop, a two-burner stove, and an opening port light for ventilation. The stainless steel single-basin sink is complemented by a refrigerator and additional storage below. Drawers throughout the galley are soft-close, and a pull-out trash receptacle adds to the functional design.
Private Accommodations
The owner's stateroom features hull-side windows with opening port lights on both sides and an overhead hatch. The centerpiece is an island queen berth measuring 6 feet 6 inches by 4 feet 8 inches, with storage located on both sides and beneath the berth. The guest cabin is a full-beam stateroom with variable geometry, ranging from 6 feet 3 inches at the entry to 5 feet between the berths, and overhead clearance from 2 feet 5 inches to 2 feet 3 inches. It also includes hull-side windows with opening port lights and ample storage, including a compartment between the two berths. This cabin can easily convert into a king-size berth. The head features a vessel sink set on a solid surface counter, simulated teak and holly decking, and a privacy door leading to a separate vacu-flush toilet and shower.
Conclusion
The Beneteau Gran Turismo 40 successfully delivers on its goal of creating a more social atmosphere and enhancing interior comfort. Its redesigned layout and thoughtful features provide ample space for entertaining and relaxation both above and below deck. The combination of practical amenities, refined finishes, and versatile accommodations makes this model a compelling choice for those seeking a comfortable and sociable cruising experience.
