Open to the sea and yet protected, the Gran Turismo boasts advanced technological features that unite the joy of cruising with exceptional performance. Not only does she look great but is equipped with quality fittings and attractive trims – she’s elegant and defiantly up to date with the latest trends in design and performance!
The Gran Turismo 36 is the first boat in her category to combine really comfortable cruising with outstanding handling. Maintaining the DNA of her range, she is equipped with some additional innovative touches.
Sensations Guaranteed
Her design is such that the beam is carried well forward, this creates more interior space, particularly in the bow. The narrow entry ensures superb handling characteristics, ideal for slicing through waves.
This boat sets the tone with an elegant and sporty hardtop. Her deck plan provides comfortable living spaces for use throughout the day and a large built-in sun mattress on the foredeck complete with a canopy offers a separate space in which to relax. Beneteau added extra comfort to the sun pad and also a measure of safety with it being recessed into the deck. Fitted with integrated drink holders and headrests, you won’t ever want to leave this area.
In the cockpit, the large sun lounger extends to meet the swim platform, offering a true terrace over the sea. Drop down the anchor, open up the expandable table in between the U-shaped seating to the port side, and easily transition from lunch to rear platform to the water.
A Captain’s Dream
Due to the downward curved bow, the cockpit is provided with great visibility. For even more visibility, open the aerodynamic hardtop which is complete with an electric sliding roof. Drive with it open and enjoy the fresh ocean air or protect yourself from the sun by having it closed – the Gran Turismo 36 really does offer the best of both worlds.
The large 12 screen plotter gives you all the information you need for ease of seamanship and all the controls are available at the helm with fingertip switches. The spacious driving station helm seat accommodates two and the port bench seat accommodates another two passengers also facing the sea, allowing four people to enjoy the thrills of navigation.
Luxury combined with liveability
To the starboard side of the main deck seating is a mini galley with a sink, electric grill, refrigeration and rubbish receptacle. Made for people who want to spend more than just a few hours on their boat, features like these make the Gran Turismo extremely liveable.
With a full galley and second lounge area located in the saloon below decks and the second outdoor galley, along with multiple spacious and cosy living areas throughout, there is no shortage of entertainment options.
The lower deck is bathed in light from the long hull portholes and the level of comfort inside surpasses the standards usually found on a boat this size. The cosy lounge space, galley, and bathroom highlight Beneteau’s meticulous attention to detail and high trim level.
The forward peak has a generous owner’s cabin with a double bed and storage while the aft guest cabin has two extra berths that can be brought together to form a double or separated depending on who’s on board.
Forget the constricted on-board bathrooms that you are used to an a boat this size , because the Gran Turismo 36 offers a best in class head arrangement. Separate shower and toilet spaces are completely partitioned from the vanity affording you room to easily move about.
Easy to drive
With an inboard engine (diesel 2×300 HP), she reaches top speeds that vary between 30 and 35 knots per hour. With a joystick on top of a steering wheel, handling the fast Gran Turismo 36 cruiser is child’s play to manoeuvrer.
