The luxe cockpit and helm deck feature great socializing and seating for 8 - 9, a motorized sunroof, Air Conditioning, a newer enclosure, and beautiful appointments (wet bar, fridge, more). Down below, there is abundant natural light, an aft full-beam stateroom, and a luxurious primary forward with a centerline pedestal berth. Where this vessel truly shines, literally, is in her mechanical spaces and equipment: New DHP drives ($38K)! Not only that, the engine room has been rearranged to ease access and maintenance tasks. All seals, O-rings, heat exchangers, pumps, belts - everything - is either new or refreshed, and this owner has the receipts and impressive 'in-process' photos to prove it. The engine room and drives look like a three month old boat from a fresh-water lake! Over $70K invested in the last 3 years.

Beneteau Gran Turismo 38: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Beneteau GT38 presents a harmonious blend of utility, luxury, and spaciousness, making it an ideal vessel for both entertaining guests and enjoying leisurely days on the water. Its design thoughtfully balances comfort and functionality, providing guests with ample freedom to relax, sunbathe, swim, or seek shelter under the protective hardtop.
Exterior Design and Cockpit
The GT38 features a solid wood swim platform measuring nine and a half feet by four and a half feet, offering a comfortable spot for relaxation or accommodating lounge chairs. An optional electric grill can be added to this area, enhancing its utility. Transitioning from the swim platform to the cockpit is effortless, with a U-shaped seating arrangement that comfortably accommodates up to eight people. The seating is upholstered in woven beige PVC, a material chosen for its resistance to germs, abrasions, stains, UV exposure, and low temperatures, while also being easy to clean. A foldable teak table, electronically actuated, is centrally positioned to be accessible from all seats and can convert into a large sun pad. The standard hardtop provides an average height clearance of six feet five inches and includes handholds and high stainless steel bow rails for safe movement forward. On the starboard side, a generously sized lounger offers ample space for multiple occupants and conceals a large storage compartment beneath. The helm area features a double-wide seat accompanied by a swiveling single companion seat with a flip-up bolster, complemented by stainless steel grab rails, cup holders, and deep storage. Opening windows facilitate cross ventilation, and a retractable sunroof allows for weather adaptability. The cockpit sole is finished with Roco flooring, enhancing both aesthetics and comfort underfoot. Toward the foredeck, two individually adjustable sun pads provide additional relaxation spaces. The wet bar area includes a cooler, sink, LED-lit stemware display, and a dedicated trash space, with an optional refrigerator available to optimize storage and functionality.
Interior Living Spaces
Below deck, the cabin showcases beautifully finished Albi mahogany woodwork, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. The salon features a two-toned mahogany table paired with a double-stitched, ultra-leather couch that seats four for dining. Upholstery options include leather, ultra-leather, or linen, available in over fifteen colors, allowing for personalization. The couch area can also convert into an additional berth if needed. Ample storage surrounds the space, complemented by opening port lights that introduce natural light. The salon offers a generous headroom of six feet four inches, further enhanced by a large skylight. The galley is well-equipped with a flat-screen TV with concealed storage, microwave, sink, DecoTek countertops, stove with C-rails, trash bin, and a refrigerator-freezer unit, providing comprehensive amenities for meal preparation.
Private Accommodations
The GT38’s private quarters are designed for comfort and practicality. The wet head features an overhead frosted skylight that expands the sense of space, with a headroom height of six feet seven inches. The guest cabin surprises with its generous size, offering either a single or optional double berth, ample storage, and abundant natural and artificial lighting. The master stateroom serves as a tranquil retreat, featuring an island berth framed with white leather trim and outfitted with graphite ocean air fabrics and blinds, one of three available color schemes. Storage solutions include a hanging locker to port and compartments beneath the bed. Natural light floods the space through hull-side windows, opening port lights, and an overhead hatch, contributing to a serene and welcoming atmosphere.
Conclusion
The Beneteau GT38 exemplifies practical luxury through its thoughtful design and high-quality finishes. From its versatile exterior spaces to its elegant and functional interiors, the GT38 offers a well-rounded boating experience that caters to both relaxation and entertaining. The design team has successfully created a stylish and spacious vessel that meets the demands of modern boaters seeking comfort, utility, and aesthetic appeal.
