Following the exciting launch of the Flyer Gran Turismo 34 and 38 last year, meticulous French motorboat builders Beneteau are upping the ante in the Express Cruiser sector and adding three new sporty models to their range, The Flyer Gran Turismo, 44, 49 and 49 Fly.

The ‘Gran Turismo’ line was inspired by luxury sports cars and evokes the Italian “dolce vita”, a life of glamour and luxury. The unique twin-motor, high-performance motorboats feature a unique blend of modern and innovative design and engineering synonymous with Beneteau not to mention luxurious comfort onboard.

The interiors of the motor yachts are characterised by luminosity, comfort and wide space. There is a king sized kitchen allowing for fine dining onboard complete with a fridge, freezer and microwave and big windows offering panoramic views from the living room to the bedrooms (that all come with ensuite bathrooms). Out on deck, there’s an exterior kitchen and grill and room enough to entertain up to 8 guests as well as a spacious sun deck to make the most of the sunshine.

The Flyer Gran Turismo 49 and 49 Fly yachts are powered by two high-performance Volvo IPS 600 motors (2 x 435 CV) and boast a Stern-Drive Propulsion system and joystick which allows you to manoeuvre the boat in small spaces and access tricky spots in the marina. This combined with Beneteau’s specially developed Air-Step hull means stability and safety at high cruising speeds.

If you like the sound of all that, you can see the premier of the Flyer Gran Turismo 44 and 49 at the Cannes Boat Show (Salon International de la Plaisance de Cannes) in September.
