Beneteau Articles
Debuting at the Dusseldorf show, the Beneteau Gran Turismo 50 made a splash, showcasing a modern reinterpretation of the classic sportscruiser model. Striking a perfect balance between elegance and functionality, this new model became the showstopper, grabbing the headline as the new flagship of the Gran Turismo range.
Eschewing the majority’s trend towards inflated size, the Gran Turismo 50 is a testament to Beneteau’s evolutionary vision. It harkens back to the underpinnings of what made sportscruisers a beloved class - beauty, a lowered roofline and an abundance of outdoor living space. Its standout appearance, embellished further by the Alpine edition’s midnight blue hue and carbon fibre detailing, drew attention to its elegant, flowing lines and refreshed profile.
The Southampton Boat Show has always been a stage radiating grandeur, where the finest marine innovations are unveiled. Amid this glittering display this year, the Beneteau Swift Trawler 54 made a truly memorable UK debut. With a lineage of high-volume, long-distance cruising boats, this particular trawler yacht has emerged as the crown jewel.
At first glance, the Swift Trawler 54 shares aesthetic consistencies with its smaller siblings but takes a divergence from the superyacht-inspired Grand Trawler 62. However, don’t let its traditional design fool you - the ingenuity of the trawler’s internal design is truly extraordinary. Each level is compartmentalised into distinct zones, leading to an enhanced sense of homeliness on board. The saloon features three areas: an upper dinette adjacent to the helm, a casual lower lounge with a coffee table, and a functional transverse galley nestled between the former two.
