Beneteau Gran Turismo 36

April 23, 2020

She’s BENETEAU designed, American made, and her playground includes the rivers, lakes, and coasts of North America. The new Gran Turismo 36 boasts ingeniously designed living spaces that can easily accomodate up to seven and a zipwake dynamic trim control system to make challenging navigation second-nature. Let the games begin!

EXTERIOR DESIGN

The exterior deck layout is fully optimized for comfort and entertaining on board. Two bench seats face forward at the helm station, so four people can enjoy the thrills of navigation. The electric sunroof allows the whole area to be bathed in pleasant natural light. The natural light extends to a spacious cockpit lounge area which has room for up to seven passengers. Cleverly interchangeable, the aft bench seats fold back and serve as headrests for the extensive sunbathing area facing aft. Cooking meals is a joy in the outdoor galley, which is just forward of the aft swim platform.

INTERIOR DESIGN

The forward peak has generous space for a real owner cabin with a full-sized bed and ample storage. The aft cabin provides two extra berths separated by a door for onboard guests. Midship you will find a cozy lounge to port with a functional galley space fitted with high quality appliances. A best in class head arrangement offers separate shower and toilet spaces completely partitioned from the vanity.

Until now, there hasn’t been an electric boat that really makes a statement. Enter the ENVGO NV1.

Canada’s Superior: the North Shore

Story and photos by Jennifer M. Smith

We’d been north before on a short two-week cruise. At the time, we were unprepared for the isolation, the lack of cell phone coverage, and the spotty VHF reception. Since then we’ve repowered, installed Starlink, and retired from work. Now, with confidence in our engine and our connectivity and more time to sail, we were Superior-ready.
