Beneteau Gran Turismo 45 Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Beneteau Yachts Gran Turismo 45 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 6 guests with its 3 cabin layout option. Most of its rivals, including the Galeon 450 HTC and Schaefer Yachts 510 GTS, share the same 6 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The Gran Turismo 45 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom and hull side windows is a standout. The Fairline 45 Open, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 4 guests in 2 cabins, still offers an exceptional level of comfort for short trips and overnight getaways.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The shallow draft of the Galeon 450 HTC allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Schaefer Yachts 510 GTS is especially impressive, with a top speed of 33 knots and cruising speed of 24 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Beneteau Gran Turismo 45 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.
