Beneteau 40' Gran Turismo 40

'Aura Odyssey' is a near new, freshwater kept, versatile express cruiser yacht. Designed by the famous Italian super-yacht designer Nuvolari Lenard and built by Beneteau, the world's largest manufacturer of yachts since 1884.

She is equipped with Beneteau's patented air step hull design which increases her efficiency and stability giving her a top speed of about 38 knots on her upgraded D6 380 HP Volvo diesel engines. This GT40 is unique as it was one of the few made with the new updated Volvo Penta drives, making it smoother and more reliable than models from previous years.

Warranty until 2024 plus structural warranty until 2028
Easy docking with Volvo Penta Joystick control and upgraded bow-thuster option

Air Step 2 Hull design

Air Step 2 is an evolution and an upgrade of the first generations based on Beneteau's customer experience and their R&D Department.

The concept remains the same as the first generation: a V-shaped step under the hull with hard chines in the aft that generate a perfect grip when turning. The step creates an "air cushion" which reduces the drag thus improves performances and brings a smoother ride.

Air Step 2 has different air intakes under the hull. These are more simple to build but most of all they dramatically increase the air flow in the step.

There is 3 times more air than the first generation air step. The results are significant:

1.5 knots more in top speed
Even less bow rise than in generation one. (almost no bow rise at all)
Can now carry 1,500 lbs more load and gear onboard without decreasing top speed (this means more equipment and comfort with the same performance)
