Beneteau's Flagship Motorboat

Beneteau has revealed details of its Grand Trawler 62, which is being built at Groupe Beneteau’s Monfalcone plant in Italy and will debut in 2021. One of two models previously announced under the codename Project E, the 62-footer is the largest of Beneteau’s current range of motorboats and is predicted to have a cruising range of 900nm at eight knots, with 10 per cent fuel reserve.

Fitted with two MAN i6 730hp engines, the model has been ‘optimised for adventure’, according to the French builder, with reserve power to reach 20 knots when required. Featuring naval architecture by Italy’s Micad, the full-displacement hull has been developed to optimise cruising range and efficiency.
