Best layout for entertainers? Discover the Beneteau 32 Gran Turismo

With diesel and petrol options and a load of features including genset and air con this Beneteau 32 Gran Turismo is at a price point that will appeal to a lot of people due to the large number of boxes she ticks.
The cockpit layout and full beam cabin makes this one of the best boats for entertaining in this size category and will allow you to still enjoy the day even when that unexpected extra few friends join you aboard as space is just not lacking on this 32ft sports cruiser.
Again the Beneteau Group have been very thoughtful and clever in the way they have used all of the available space on this boat. For the right people this boat will provide a lot of value.

You really are a one take wonder! For someone that isn't really into boats - very well explained! Thanks for the day out!

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Oh great, happy to hear that!

[@nickwebb9290]

A great tour Dan, as always very thorough and detailed. Looks like a good practical boat 😁

[@jacktyler7599]

Another thorough 'no pieces missed' review, and once again with inshore/offshore performance assessed as well. Clearly, this is an entertainment boat much more than a weekender...and with the weekending best done in warm weather so the 'galley up' comfortably feeds the crew and guests. Can't think of a single time I've used a microwave or frig without needing a counter to set things on, yet there they are next to the berth. 'Down below' seems generally a bit squished tho' Beneteau made the most of the space they were left with. Florida's coastal waters is where this boat belongs. Dan, your channel deserves 10x the subscribers, and I'm off to the patreon website. Nice job, once again.

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Thanks again Jack! I really appreciate your support! I've just quit my boat sales job of 20 years to focus on this full time now so big plans for 2023! Appreciate you backing me!

[@fc8438]

Bravo Dan, good job ! Many French boaters look yours videos !!

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Oh cool, I love to visit Cannes and the South of France. Such an amazing place to go boating!

[@johngauntlett4915]

Dan, actually with that big of a swim platform you could probably put in Staples and use it as a fishing area. Take the family out for a day and put the kids and wife on the front deck to sun and fish for smaller species.

[@tacodias]

Perfect med machine!

[@Ognir1962]

I’ve seen this boat with Mercury outboards which obviously gives you tons more space. Thanks Dan for sharing.

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Yes correct! I forgot to mention the outboards because Beneteau split their dealers between inboard and outboard in Australia.

[@5pecialFX]

Absolutely beautiful boat my god.

Dan, just started watching the video and said to myself, this would have to be a beneteau.

Haha welcome back!

[@johngauntlett4915]

Dan, for the 32 foot that has a lot of space.

[@johngauntlett4915]

Dan, Sea Ray has a very good build but they are very pricey, I think beneteau is catching up with them very quickly.

[@therationalinvestors]

It not like everyone has 250k EUR lying around to buy this one tho haha

[@richardjohnson8114]

@@therationalinvestors Then it's pretty likely they don't have 400k EUR for the Sea Ray version.

@@BoatLife_DansBoatLife It was at the very end of Manly beach from memory. Was a great restaurant when I was there in the 90s ... used to launch up the parramatta and tour the bays.

[@dielaufsocke7642]

Nice boat. Unfortunately it doesn't fit to my trailer.

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Yes too big for that. I think the Antares range may have some trailerable options.

[@richardjohnson8114]

Excellent walkthrough. The Beneteau 32 GT is on my short list for a SW Florida day boat (with twin 300HP outboards). So is the Saxdor 320. For island hoping and sandbars all day long which of the two would pick?

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Island hopping I would pick the Saxdor due to her hull design and accessible decks for working in close quarters around other boats. The Beneteau with outboards would also do the job for you and will accommodate more guests for sure but the excitement factor and cutting bow through chop of the Saxdor will mean you'll actually go out in a wider variety of conditions. Now if you are not going offshore as regularly then the Beneteau is totally fine as she's ok in the ocean provided you pick your conditions like we did in this video. For staying long periods onboard and overnights the Beneteau wins.

[@richardjohnson8114]

@@BoatLife_DansBoatLife Thanks for the advice. It will be a tough choice!

[@johngauntlett4915]

Damn, looks like if you put a hydraulic platform you could probably do a jet ski.

[@dashero11]

is that teak ? looks like seadeck to me but you are the expert

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

It may be Iroko which is a teak alternative but it's not seadeck.

[@captcav767]

32 is just that little too small. Would love this layout as an option for the 41 with twin 300's

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

I reckon it'd want bigger HP on the 41 though. I'm hoping to test the new V10 400's soon.

[@captcav767]

@@BoatLife_DansBoatLife I think a couple of D4 300's would be fine, super effecient, still good for 30 top end. Love the layout though

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Ok cool, I wasn’t sure

[@andeemal5366]

how's this compare to the Sea Ray 320 Sundancer?

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

So in terms of available space on deck for entertaining I would say both Sea Ray and Beneteau are very similar. They are excellent entertainers which will hold a large number of people comfortably! The Sea Ray is probably better suited to calmer waters as she does have a tendancy to throw a bit of water up over the bow but the Sea Ray is also the higher build quality of the two. Hope that helps

what is a peacher?

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Men who stand on rocks in their budgie smugglers to get a sun tan

[@DrEd-th2lu]

I love that boat if it just lost the entire top thing. They need to bring back the old fashion radar arch only. When we go boating we want to be outside.

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Guess it depends on your region? We try to avoid the sun in Sydney because it's so strong but yes if I was in Sweden I'd like everything open for sure.

Sydney Harbour is a fairly wavy place at the best of times but yes these boats are on the lighter side so depending on where you are boating you may wish to investigate a Quick Gyro install.

looks like you have a foot more of headroom laying in bed so yes 6ft 7 is fine and lots of people are 6 ft 7 why lose thousands of customers building boats for shrimps. lol
