Gran Turismo 45, an all-weather cruiser layout

With its hard-top that can be fully opened and its substantial under-deck layout, the Gran Turismo 45 can be sailed in good weather while enjoying the outdoors, as well as on a rainy day, with a cozy interior.

Maximize natural light

Launched in September 2021, the Gran Turismo 45 is the largest model in the range, with a length of 14.78 m. While it retains the amenities (2 or 3 cabins) of the Gran Turismo 46, which it replaces, it gains in luminosity like recent models in the range, thanks to larger windows. It also gains in modernity with new materials. The gangways have been widened for easier access to the front deck, whose sundeck has also been improved to include a bimini.

An open and protected main deck

Thanks to the electric hard top (glazed as an option), the Gran Turismo 45 offers a main deck that is very open to the outside. An option allows you to opt for a door and a window as on the Gran Turismo 41, to close the space. Facing the sea, the sundeck is equipped with a grill for outdoor barbecues and more generally tops a tender garage. This one can accommodate a tender of 2.30 m long and has an electric winch for lifting the boat. The additional space can also accommodate a jet-ski. The sunbathing area overlooks a large hydraulic bathing platform that can support a weight of 350 kg.

The protected saloon offers a lounge area on the starboard side with a U-shaped bench seat and dining table and a small cockpit kitchen opposite with sink, fridge and ice maker. A television is integrated in the cabinet next to it.

The cockpit is truly spacious with a very large dashboard housing all the navigation instruments, including a large Garmin multifunction touch screen. The latter also broadcasts images from the 6 cameras installed around the boat (Ship Control optional). The comfortable pilot and co-pilot seats offer a breathtaking view of the sea and a comfortable driving position.

Living at sea well protected from the elements

Below deck, accessed by a real staircase via a door, the layout is designed for cruising. You enter directly into a fully equipped L-shaped galley - double sink, cooker, fridge - with plenty of storage space. On the starboard side, the U-shaped saloon allows you to enjoy your meals in the warmth of the sun or to sleep in an extra bed thanks to its folding table (optional). This saloon can also be replaced by a 3 e cabin, but the majority of owners opt for the standard version, half of them for the removable table.

The owner's cabin is located at the rear and offers more space than on the previous model. With the IPS propulsion, the bulkhead could be moved back. There is a central double bed and storage space. It also has its own bathroom.

at the front of the boat, a second Euro cabin with its Euro bathroom offers scissor beds, which can be joined or separated.

Comfort and space in all conditions

In terms of layout, the Gran Turismo 45 offers all the comfort needed for long family cruises. With its open, yet protected deck, you can enjoy the outdoors in comfort. And when the weather isn't cooperating, its below-deck accommodations offer everything you need for a protected anchorage. Thanks to the sunroof and the numerous windows, the light comes in freely even on the lower deck.
