Beneteau 45: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Beneteau Gran Turismo 45 is a modern express cruiser designed for performance and comfort. Measuring 48 feet 6 inches in length overall, with a beam of 13 feet 9 inches and a draft of 3 feet 9 inches, this vessel weighs approximately 24,782 pounds empty. Equipped with twin Volvo Penta IPS 600 pod drives, each delivering 440 horsepower, the Gran Turismo 45 offers a blend of responsive handling and efficient cruising capabilities.
Helm and Control Systems
The helm station is centered around a 16-inch Garmin display integrated into the Volvo Penta glass dash, which replaces traditional gauges with a streamlined digital interface. This system consolidates control of the boat's electrical features, including stereo and engine monitoring, through Beneteau's ship control software. Electrical switches flank the display, complemented by additional engine control readouts. The helm also features bow thruster controls, digital engine controls, LEMFO trim tabs, and an IPS joystick for precise maneuvering. Convenience is enhanced with an inductive charging spot for mobile devices, beverage holders, and air conditioning vents connected to a 24,000 BTU system.
Engine Room and Mechanical Layout
Access to the engine room is available via a hatch on the port side or through a large hatch within the tender garage. The twin Volvo Penta IPS 600 engines, each rated at 440 horsepower, are pod drives directly connected to the engines, allowing for efficient propulsion and maneuverability. The layout provides easy access around the engines for maintenance. Supporting systems include a 7.5 kW generator, fuel tanks positioned on either side of the engine compartment, and a hot water heater located to port. Notably, all hose clamps are equipped with protective guards to enhance durability.
Exterior Features and Deck Layout
The Gran Turismo 45 features a robust deck design with a 17-inch distance from the window to the rail and a rail height topping out at 24 inches, providing a secure environment on deck. Midships, a 10-inch cleat with chafing gear is installed for mooring. The railings are designed with an outward angle, enhancing space and safety. The ground tackle system includes a Lumar windlass paired with a Delta plow anchor, a chain protector, and a chain and rope rode, all operable via remote control.
Performance and Handling
During sea trials with a test weight of approximately 26,101 pounds (including 50% fuel and three people aboard), the Gran Turismo 45 demonstrated excellent handling and responsiveness, especially when utilizing the joystick and bow thrusters for docking. The twin 440 horsepower IPS 600 engines achieved a top speed of 37 miles per hour at 3640 RPM. The optimal cruising speed was recorded at 29.8 miles per hour at 3200 RPM, with a fuel consumption of 33.9 gallons per hour, yielding approximately 0.9 miles per gallon and a range of 189 statute miles while maintaining a 10% fuel reserve from the total 238-gallon capacity. Acceleration tests showed the boat reaching planing speed in 8.8 seconds, maintaining plane down to 12.9 miles per hour, and accelerating to 20 and 30 miles per hour in 6.7 and 13 seconds respectively.
Seakeeping and Handling Characteristics
The Gran Turismo 45 handles a variety of sea conditions with composure. In 10 to 15 mile per hour winds and two-foot chop, the vessel performs well both in beam seas and head seas. The boat's sweet spot for head-on wave penetration is between 25 and 27 miles per hour, where it smoothly rides through waves without bow slapping. At higher speeds, some hull slap is noticeable, suggesting a reduction in speed for comfort. The following seas provide a smooth ride, allowing the boat to surf waves comfortably without bow stuffing. Beam seas are particularly favorable, with the boat exhibiting minimal rolling and a stable, comfortable ride. As an IPS-driven vessel with an airstep hull, the Gran Turismo 45 offers wide turning radii at speed, typical of pod drives, but tighter turns can be achieved by reducing speed to allow greater pod articulation.
Conclusion
The Beneteau Gran Turismo 45 presents a well-rounded package combining modern digital helm controls, efficient and powerful IPS propulsion, and a thoughtfully designed deck and mechanical layout. Its performance on the water is marked by responsive handling, comfortable seakeeping, and efficient cruising capabilities. This vessel is well-suited for boaters seeking a capable express cruiser that balances performance with onboard comfort and advanced technology.
