If you're looking for a manageable, multi-purpose family boat that can handle both the sun and the shelter, you could do a lot worse than a compact pilot house boat.
In this video, Alex Smith gets a first look at the entirely redesigned Beneteau GT40. Far from a minor facelift, Beneteau has completely re-engineered this cruiser to deliver a 'villa living' experience on the water, blending a striking reverse bow profile with innovative drop-down cockpit bulwarks.
Alex explores the custom Alpine trim package, tests the sophisticated three-season enclosed helm setup, and tours the ultra-clever lower deck layout.
