2014/2021 Beneteau Gran Turismo 44

After a partial refit in 2021, the current owner has spared no expense in maintenance and upgrades to transform this Mediterranean design into the ultimate South Florida and Bahamas cruising platform. After four years of cruising, the owner is moving up to a larger yacht to accommodate his growing family.

Notable upgrades include two new DPH-E Volvo Penta sterndrives, a new Cruisair air conditioner, a Rainman watermaker, Simrad electronics, and all-new interior cushions. The hull has a smooth, shiny finish, and all equipment and accessories are in perfect working order.

With styling that was ahead of its time in 2014, this yacht turns heads wherever it goes. The dual-master, dual-head layout is ideal for two couples to comfortably cruise for weeks at a time.

Performance is equally impressive: at 3100 rpm / 25 knots, fuel consumption is just 30 gph. At full throttle (3650 rpm / 33 knots), it is still only 42 gph. The generator burns less than half a gallon per hour while powering air conditioning, charging five battery banks, and producing 37 gallons of fresh water per hour.
