Beneteau has unveiled the first images of its new range flagship – the Gran Turismo 50.
The announcement follows on from the launch of its new crossover express cruiser range.
The latest addition to the lineup comes months after the brand announced the world premiere of the Gran Turismo 35 and Gran Turismo 40.
The new Gran Turismo 50 is designed around a new approach from Beneteau in relation to layout, looks and ergonomics.
“This stunning new flagship was built with our hearts and our hands, but also with our ears,” explained Eric LeVine, Beneteau Motor Yachts sales director.

“From the beginning of the project, the main question was not to ask what our owners drive, but what drives our owners. What makes them happy? What are their priorities?
“To find the answers we looked to the past, to our 140 years of boatbuilding; to the present, and the constant feedback from our hundreds of thousands of Beneteau boaters around the world; and to the future of new technologies, new uses, and new possibilities.
“What this boat represents is a revolution, not only for our brand but for the highly competitive segment of express cruising, and seeing everything come together has been a very joyful process for our entire team, particularly now that she’s more than just a bunch of lovely drawings – indeed, have you ever seen a more beautiful Beneteau? “
The new model has been designed to provide an increase in exterior useable space and a combination of areas to accommodate all activities.
“The Gran Turismo is a perfect embodiment of Beneteau’s renewed vision for premium cruising,” said Robert Chaffer, Beneteau product manager.
“From the yacht’s sleek lines to its thoughtfully designed indoor and outdoor living spaces, every detail has been crafted to deliver an exceptional onboard experience and unforgettable moments at sea.”
The new Gran Turismo is designed in collaboration with naval architect Bill Dixon. Beneteau has also continued its long-term partnership with sport speciality brand Alpine in relation to style enhancements.
The Gran Turismo 50 will be unveiled during the Paris Nautic Show taking place from November 26th-30th 2025.
