Gail Force - Beneteau FOR SALE

As the flagship of Beneteau’s newest sport-cruiser line, the Gran Turismo 50 makes a statement. A sleek silhouette, a single-level main deck, and clever onboard tech seduce connoisseurs of fine design and satisfy adrenaline lovers in a luxury motor yacht.

The Gran Turismo 50 blends athletic poise with refined comfort, fusing driver-focused thrills with an elegant lifestyle afloat. Beneteau redefines the sport cruiser/express cruiser segment with the range’s largest hardtop coupe, built on a fast planing hull and powered by Volvo IPS 600. An integrated retractable sun visor and modular side glazing tailor the open-to-enclosed experience. The cockpit flows into a vast, sheltered salon across the single-level main deck, the flush layout uniting interior and exterior spaces. Perfectly positioned beneath the hardtop, the on-deck galley can be specified with an aft worktop and grill. A tender garage—compatible with the Williams Minijet 270—opens onto a large submersible swim platform, streamlining launch and recovery. Together they transform the boat into a versatile performance yacht for day boating, coastal cruising, and watersports.

Hull

The hull is engineered around the Air Step system and presented in a pure white finish for a crisp, contemporary profile. Its structure is a performance-driven Sandwich (Polyester resin - Glass fiber - Balsa core), paired with a hull counter moulding laminated in monolithic (Polyester resin - Glass fiber) and crafted by infusion to ensure rigidity, weight savings, and impeccable surface quality. Abundant natural light and ventilation flow through 9 opening portholes, each fitted with curtains to balance privacy with atmosphere.

Deck

From the first step aboard, the deck reveals a meticulously executed composition: a Sandwich (Polyester resin - Glass fiber - Balsa core), a deck counter moulding laminated in monolithic (Polyester resin - Glass fiber), and moulding by infusion for consistency and strength. Night passages feel effortless with a courtesy light in the cockpit and full navigation lights. Mooring is made simple and secure with a bow fitting featuring an anchor securing system, a powerful 2 000 W electric windlass with remote control, and stainless steel hardware comprising 2 forward cleats, 2 central and 4 aft. Safety on deck is inherent, with a half open stainless steel pulpit complete with guardrail and hand rail, 2 stainless steel handrails on the steps leading to the side decks, and a refined taupe faux leather hand rail positioned behind the cockpit bench seat.

Cockpit

The cockpit is conceived as an open-air living room, anchored by an 8-seater outside benchseat that converts into a generous sunbed when combined with the optional table. There is dedicated space for a life raft for 12 people, a practical storage locker for mooring lines and fenders, and a cockpit shower hose with a hot water mixer tap and cold water to refresh after a swim. A broad swim platform invites you to the sea, while an access cover opens directly to the engine room for effortless servicing. Movement is intuitive, with access to the port side deck from both the swim platform and the cockpit, and a stainless steel bathing ladder makes reboarding easy. A garage accommodates a semi-rigid tender and engine about 2,90 m / 9’5’’, and its door is electrically opened using 2 electric struts. There is also access to the engine room via the garage. For extended days outdoors, an aft galley and an exterior sink are available as options.

Reliability is reinforced by a sea water filter, air intakes on the deck for engine compartment cooling, and hot air extraction forced by electric ventilators. The engine room is foam soundproofed for tranquil cruising, and a fire extinguishing system can be activated from the steering station for peace of mind. A stainless steel fuel filler underscores durability, while endurance comes from 2 x 650 L / 172 US Gal Roto moulded fuel tanks.
