Motor Boat & Yachting

Earlier this year, our prize for the prettiest new boat at the Dusseldorf show goes to this, the flagship of the new Gran Turismo range.

Instead of following the herd and building an even bigger, more bloated replacement for the old GT50, Beneteau went back to what sportscruisers always used to be about – good looks, a low roofline and plenty of outdoor living space.

Alex Smith gets behind the wheel to see if those good looks transalte to an equally impressive ride.
