The professional's opinion

The Gran Turismo 38 is one of those boats that truly manages to combine driving pleasure with cruising comfort. Twin Volvo Penta 260 hp engines, an Air Step hull, and a hard-top give it a sporty character without compromising life onboard.

It is above all a very versatile unit: dynamic enough for those who like to go out on the water, yet with real space to enjoy weekends and cruises. For a buyer who doesn’t want to choose between sport and comfort, this is precisely where this model really shines.
