Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Beneteau Flyer 12 2009 vs Beneteau Gran Turismo 46 2020 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Beneteau Flyer 12 2009 vs Beneteau Gran Turismo 46 2020 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
The Beneteau Gran Turismo 46 2020 tops out at 435 hp. Engine specs for the Beneteau Flyer 12 2009 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Beneteau Flyer 12 2009 carries 317 gallons versus 238 gallons in the Beneteau Gran Turismo 46 2020. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Beneteau Gran Turismo 46 2020 is rated for 14 passengers, while the Beneteau Flyer 12 2009 caps at 12. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Beneteau Gran Turismo 46 2020 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Beneteau Gran Turismo 46 2020 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 14 passengers and at 48,6 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Beneteau Flyer 12 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 12 that costs less to run day-to-day.
