2017 Beneteau Gran Turismo 40 "TIS THE SEASUN"

If fun on the water is the objective—and it usually is—then this boat is purpose-built for the task.Tis the Seasunis an excellent example of what a 40’ express cruiser should offer: ideal sleeping quarters below deck and an open, well-designed cockpit perfect for entertaining.

The Beneteau Gran Turismo 40 has earned enthusiastic reviews for its stylish design and impressive performance, and this 2017 model showcases those qualities beautifully. Its sleek lines, striking black-and-white accents, abundant windows, and massive cockpit make it an entertainer's dream. Add in the generously sized swim platform—larger than some named islands—and you have a vessel ready for adventures.

Tis the Seasun has recently undergone key upgrades, including newly refinished teak and reupholstered helm and cockpit seating, giving the boat a fresh, modern look.

Powered by standard D4-300 engines, the seller notes that the boat is fast, agile, and planes effortlessly—additional horsepower would provide little benefit.

Notable features include:

• Power sunroof (or moonroof, depending on the time of day).
• Hydraulic swim platform with a Hurley H2O dinghy davit system.
• Full cockpit canvas enclosure.
• Onan 5 kW generator with reverse-cycle heat/air conditioning.
• Glendinning shore power cord system.
• Joystick docking control for ease of handling.

This is a great opportunity to own a well-maintained, stylish express cruiser designed for making memories on the water.
