Are you ready to go cruising? Then you must get onboard Wakadui. This beautiful one-owner boat is an excellent example of a well-equipped performance offshore cruising sloop. She is ready for a summer's adventure in the Pacific NW and beyond.
MAIN SALON
The daylight flooding the salon is enticing. The space is huge and comfortable for lounging or entertaining. Wakadui has an exceptional interior that is modern, sleek, yet sumptuous. Every possible nook and cranny provides additional storage for long-range cruising.
GALLEY
Too often, yacht designers neglect galley space in favor of other aspects of a yacht's interior. She has TONS of counter space, TONS of deep storage, deep, spacious fridges/freezers, and the galley is architecturally connected to the main salon. At the same time, chefs will find it easy to brace between the sink island and L-shaped galley space when preparing a meal in bouncy seas.

Overview
The Beneteau Flyer Gran Turismo 49 is an all-new model available in two configurations: with or without a flybridge. The flybridge version, which is the focus of this evaluation, adds an upper helm station and a social gathering area, increasing the boat's empty weight by approximately 1,984 pounds (900 kilograms). This model is powered by twin 435 horsepower Volvo Penta D6 diesel engines paired with IPS 600 pod drives, offering a modern and efficient propulsion system.
Exterior Design and Helm Stations
The Flyer Gran Turismo 49 features a well-thought-out exterior layout including two foredeck hatches with a windlass positioned underneath. An open section on the starboard side facilitates easy management of the anchor rode, complemented by a remote control for the windlass. The flybridge helm is equipped with vertically mounted digital Volvo Penta engine controls and joystick, twin EVC displays, trim tab controls, autopilot, and a 12-inch navigation display angled toward the captain but visible to an observer as well. The lower helm station offers a double-wide adjustable seat with a flip-up bolster and a fixed footrest that does not impede space behind the helm. The helm instrumentation includes 12-inch widescreen displays positioned for optimal visibility, autopilot controls within easy reach, and a Volvo Penta flat screen display. Visibility from the lower helm is generally excellent with large windshields and opening side windows providing ventilation and sightlines, although the swim platform is not visible from this position. Defrosters are integrated into the windshield to maintain clear visibility in cooler conditions.
Performance and Handling
The Flyer Gran Turismo 49 measures 51 feet 2 inches overall with a beam of 14 feet 1 inch and a shallow draft of 2 feet 4 inches. The test boat’s weight, including 90% fuel and four passengers, was approximately 31,570 pounds. Powered by twin 435 horsepower Volvo Penta D6 engines with IPS 600 pods, the boat achieved a top speed of 26.7 knots at 3,450 rpm, consuming 43.3 gallons (163.9 liters) of fuel per hour and providing a range of 191 nautical miles. The optimal cruising speed was 24.9 knots at 3,300 rpm with a fuel burn of 38.3 gallons (145 liters) per hour, extending the range to 201 nautical miles. The boat planes quickly, reaching planing speed in 9 seconds and 20 miles per hour in 6.9 seconds. Turning performance at full speed is somewhat wide due to pod limitations but remains efficient, while reducing speed to half throttle tightens turns to approximately two to three boat lengths with a moderate five-degree banking angle. Visibility during turns is generally good, although large window mullions can obstruct side views. The boat exhibits an eight-degree bow rise during acceleration, settling into a five-degree bow-high attitude on plane, maintaining clear horizon visibility from the lower helm. The hull handles waves smoothly without pounding or harsh re-entry, and trim tabs allow fine-tuning of the boat’s attitude while preserving visibility.
