- In this video we test the Beneteau 32 Gran Turismo offshore in some very lumpy sea conditions to see if this is a boat you can realistically run up the coast with a weather window to enjoy a new location for the weekend?
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.

Your droneshots are just remarkable
Thanks! I've spent many years practising this so happy to hear that!
Great review. The drone footage combined with your commentary is really clever. I feel like I’m out on the water with you. Well done.
Oh great! That's what I'm trying to achieve for you so happy to hear that!
Great review, thanks. Looks like this beauty glides smoothly thru moderate waves.
It does!
I find these sea trials quite educational for me.
Oh great! Feel free to jump in with anything else you think I can help show or teach you guys. These comments is where I get the ideas from to improve.
Cheers Dan. As a sailor slightly short of arse, these things matter. This is much better than the previous models, especially the smaller ones, they slammed like a fat wrestler in a paddling pool.
I wonder, Dan : For this 32 footer and plans to use it locally and for some coastal passages - IOW longer ranges not necessary - would you opt for the I/O diesels at their higher cost or twin outboards? Avoiding the longer term nuisance of the diesels' lower legs in the water full-time would seem one consideration...and maybe resale, given the popularity of outboards these days. If only outboards could provide hot water for the shower at day's end1
I think it all depends on how interested you are in the aft swim platform. It is a pretty massive platform so this will sway a few people towards the inboard diesels I suspect.
What was the fuel flow at displacement speed? The boat is not quite perfect for a slow cruise but it still would be nice to know
If i didn't mention in the video i'm sorry i have forgotten.
Could you get a little seakeeper on that thing?
I don't know but I suspect a Quick Gyro would fit at the forward end of the engine bay.
Hi Dan, as someone living in a country that just has ocean and not a lot of big bays: all boats are ocean boats for us.
However my question is: what’s your fave area to boat in?
Hmm good question. Depends on the time of year I guess. Greek Islands are amazing in June/July, Whitsundays and Bali in July/August, South of France for sure in September, October - April in Australia and the list goes on. I'll just have heaps of adventures over the coming years and post it all up here as I go.
I wondered what karate kid was up too these days….
