Beneteau GT 50

Flagship of the Gran Turismo line, the GT 50 pairs a resolutely automotive aesthetic with a 12 m² cockpit extension, an Alcantara-and-carbon helm, and twin IPS 480s reaching 31 knots.

From the jury’s statement:
At 50 feet, the Beneteau Gran Turismo 50 clears the length threshold for ‘Best Big Boats’ with amenities built for staying aboard, not just passing through. Three cabins and two bathrooms are flawlessly finished throughout, giving a crew real living quarters, while the versatile cockpit gains up to 12 m² of extra space via folding extensions and the vast 4.2-metre aft bathing platform, room enough to live outdoors on deck. Twin Volvo Penta IPS 480 hp engines give a 31-knot top speed and a 26-knot cruise, burning 155 l/h for a 201-nautical-mile range.
