Beneteau 49: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Beneteau GT49 Fly is designed to harmonize European styling and quality materials with practical and comfortable use of space, all offered at a competitive price point within its market segment. This model emphasizes an open, airy layout and thoughtful design elements that cater to both everyday use and entertaining.
Galley Design and Features
The GT49 Fly features a galley-down layout that benefits from abundant natural light due to its open overhead connection to the salon. The galley is anchored by a large L-shaped countertop crafted from white DecoTec resin, providing ample space for meal preparation. It includes a double basin sink and convenient storage behind the counter for spices and cooking essentials. Practical touches such as double bins for trash and recycling, a Lazy Susan rack to maximize corner storage, and adjustable interior shelving accommodate various culinary needs. The galley is equipped with a microwave, stove, and drawer dishwasher. While the refrigerator is not full size, it is larger than typical for this class, complemented by a sizable freezer with three drawers. The cabinetry combines walnut paneling, high-gloss cream lacquer finishes, and laminated flooring, creating a sophisticated ambiance reminiscent of a home kitchen.
Master Stateroom
The full-beam master stateroom initially presents with modest headroom, which proves unproblematic upon use. The space integrates over eight different materials, including Magilite wall coverings with Baby Cane ribbed fabric and silky trench microfiber accents. Bedding and blinds utilize Ocean Air fabrics, while the headboard features a metallic microfiber with a leather-like texture. The bed frame is trimmed in soft cream-colored leather, enhancing comfort and style. A synthetic fiber lounger on the port side offers a relaxing spot with waterfront views. Storage is well considered, with three large solid wood cabinets equipped with soft-close hinges and a closet tall enough for hanging suits and dresses without wrinkling. The muted color palette, natural lighting, and Japanese lantern-inspired lamps contribute to a tranquil, spa-like atmosphere. Access to the en suite head requires closing the master door, which includes a full-length mirror.
Heads and VIP Accommodations
The master head continues the use of cream-colored lacquered paneling and features a laminated floor, ample storage, and a large ceramic sink, though it remains compact as typical for the class. Forward lies the VIP stateroom, which offers a queen island berth and mirrors the master’s comfort and material palette. Practical elements include stainless steel port lights, slanted windows, dedicated shelving for shoes and folded clothes within the hanging locker, and a full-length mirror on the door. Beneath the berth are two large drawers suitable for linens and other storage. The guest head is slightly larger than the master head and has a separate entry door, allowing it to function as a day head. An optional third cabin is available, featuring a berth convertible between double and full size.
Salon and Deck Area
The salon presents an open and airy environment with a headroom of six feet, six inches. A finely finished two-tone table is electronically foldable, transforming easily from a cocktail setting to a dining area for five. The deck is covered in soft white plush carpeting, though a more forgiving color might be preferable. Wood paneling accented with wenge treatments adds warmth, while a wood-finished credenza includes under-lighting, a small refrigerator, dedicated stemware storage, and an electrically actuated TV lift, enhancing both functionality and ambiance.
Conclusion
The Beneteau GT49 Fly demonstrates a well-executed balance of elegant European design, practical layout, and quality materials throughout its interior and exterior spaces. Its thoughtful galley, comfortable staterooms, and versatile salon make it a compelling option in its class, delivering a refined yet functional boating experience.
