The second of this next generation of Beneteau sport-cruiser
This particular GT 46, hull #27 is the latest addition to the new generation Gran Turismo range and will make her first appearance with Simpson Marine at the Singapore Yacht Show in April this year. The 46 is the second model in this new line-up of Beneteau-designed Sports Cruisers, and although similar in style and spirit to the GT 40, it represents a signifcant step forwards in terms of customisation, quality of materials and finish. Despite being resolutely sporty in character, she has been cleverly designed to ensure high levels of safety combined with a sumptuous décor.

Features
The GT 46 hard top has electrically-powered side glazing so that you can enjoy that “open” feeling. A fully opening glass door also maintains this theme with cockpit seating spread out giving plenty of space to enjoy time together.
The aft seat converts into sun loungers at the push of a button, lowering the seat backs and raising the foot rests "chaise-longs" style. This creates a very unique area to the rear of the cockpit ideal for relaxation.
The glass door separates the cockpit from the exterior when it is closedprovinging an altogether more private space, protected from the weather and onlookers.
The second galley is located in the cockpit (behind the co-pilot’s seat) or at the stern of the boat, according to preference. In this layout you have an additional seat in the cockpit. Available with a choice of two or three cabins, the GT 46 offers exceptional guest accommodation, unrivalled on this size of sports cruiser.
The generous motorized swim platform lowers to just below sea level, affording easy access to the water but also stabilizes the boat at anchor.

Engines
The GT 46 incorporates the latest generation Beneteau-designed Air Step®2 planing hull, and for the first time offers a choice of a Volvo IPS 600 motor or a Z Drive, with power of up to 2 x 400 HP. Safe, easily manoeuvrable and with its sporting characteristics, this new unit promises to provide the maximum in sailing pleasure.

This particular boat boasts the 370hp Z Drive option which offers the perfect blend of performance and economy and of course a reduced draft where shallow water may be a consideration. With a spacious engine bay, the less bulky z-drive option creates additional space for access or perhaps even bike storage.
