Beneteau 44' Gran Turismo 44

**Now Priced at a Competitive $395,000: Perseverance is Your Best Buy on the Market** 

This vessel has been lovingly maintained by an attentive owner who possesses two key qualities that ensure a boat is kept in excellent condition: the financial capability to afford maintenance and upgrades, and the technical knowledge to select and oversee high-quality work on the boat. The new owner of this vessel will have the advantage of acquiring a 44 ft. cruiser at a fraction of its original cost, without the frustration of dealing with a poorly maintained pre-owned boat.

**Exceptional Performance** 

Powered by twin Volvo Penta D6 engines with dual props, this yacht offers impressive speed and agility, allowing for sharp turns and responsive control. Its safe Class B offshore rating provides peace of mind for confident navigation in challenging weather conditions.

**Vessel Description** 

Designed for extended cruising, the Gran Turismo 44 combines generous space, power, and speed while maintaining a size that makes it easy to maneuver. The aft cockpit serves as a vast entertainment area, eliminating the need to go below deck for anything other than using the head. To port, there is a large U-shaped settee with an expandable table for dining. The entire cockpit area, including the aft sun pad, lifts electrically to reveal garage space for an eight-foot tender. However, visibility from the center helm position is limited due to the wide mullions and sturdy overhead. The electric sunroof over the helm is expansive. Below deck, the well-lit galley is located to port, and a comfortable salon settee is situated to starboard. A stand-up refrigerator is located near the steps, and a curved counter leads forward to a double sink, a two-burner stove, and an optional microwave. The master stateroom, which includes an en suite head and shower, is situated aft. An equally spacious guest stateroom is located forward and features an island berth with access to a second head. The 44 incorporates Beneteau's Air-Step hull design, which includes forward-facing steps and two air intakes, allowing the boat to ride on a cushion of air. Powered by Volvo 370hp D6 diesel stern drives, this yacht can cruise at speeds of 24-26 knots, reaching low 30s at top speed.
