Beneteau Gran Turismo 46 (2016 - 2021) Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the planing hull of the 46 delivers speeds of up to 34 knots.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Beneteau Yachts 46 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 6 guests with its 3 cabin layout option. The 46 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom and hull side windows is a standout. The Fairline Targa 48 Open and Bavaria Yachts S45 Coupé, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 7 guests in 3 cabins, still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Beneteau Yachts 46 delivers a steady 27 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Jeanneau 46 with an impressive cruising speed of 30 knots. The Beneteau Yachts 46 emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed, catering to a different set of priorities. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Bavaria Yachts S45 Coupé, with the slowest cruising speed of 24 knots, emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and enjoying the journey over the destination.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Bavaria Yachts S45 Open impresses with its extensive range of 1,404 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Bavaria Yachts S45 Coupé, Bavaria Yachts S45 Open and Jeanneau 46 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Jeanneau 46 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 34 knots and cruising speed of 30 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Beneteau Gran Turismo 46 stands out with notable features and design elements. These yachts cater to a wide range of preferences and needs, making the choice a matter of personal taste and specific requirements in the world of luxury yachting.
