Beneteau Gran Turismo 44 - 2012 Model Just Listed

The two-cabin accommodation puts the owner's suite midships, and this has the advantage of being the most stable area at sea as well as utilising the full beam of the 3.93m hull - the only downside being proximity to the engineroom. The owner should enjoy the apartment-style space and comfortable island bed with double mattresses. For relaxing, a chaise lounge nestles by the port window, and opening portholes along with elongated windows provide natural light. One slight gripe is the varied headroom that may cause occasional head-to-bulkhead moments. To starboard are lockers and a small bench, but perhaps a vanity table could have been incorporated here instead. Elsewhere, the en suite bathroom has dual access making it a useful dayhead.

In the forepeak the guest double berth is similarly well appointed, although about 2m² smaller it manages an island double bed with surrounding shelves and twin wardrobes. Outside light is abundant from the portlights and opening overhead hatches, while LED spotlights will keep readers' happy. Adjoining the cabin is the bathroom; it's similar to the owner's with a shower cubicle, moulded sink and electric head.
