Benetti 40 Cougar

You them often on TV and movies – powerful-looking men standing proudly on their small but stylish-looking yachts as it glides gracefully on the waters. While the representation may be too fantastic, the yacht is as real as the sea. Yachts of this kind, like the Benetti 40 Cougar, were built for speed and of course, style.

The Benetti 40 Cougar comes from the line of small yachts manufactured by world-famous Italian yachts makers, Benetti. It shares traits with other Benetti models like the Benetti 53 Flybridge and Benetti 58 Predator. The Cougar was built in 1990 and has undergone several refitting. It was a favorite among wealthy businessmen who wanted a private yacht they can drive. The Cougar had also found its way among law enforcement agencies.

Featuring a 40-foot fiberglass hull, this yacht can reach a blazing 111-kph speed and cruise up to 92 kph. It is powered by twin 10L-diesel SEATEK 6-4V engines that can churn out 2 x 660 hp total power. Its stunning 3.6-foot draft height allows it to go to shallow waters. The 40 Cougar is not all function. It also has a form – and a stylish one at that. Like its ultra hi-tech cousin Benetti 132 Classic, the Cougar has GPS navigation system to go along with standard compass and VHF. The 7.2-foot wide beam allows enough room for stay for 2-3 people. Comfort is provided by U-shaped leather sofa in the saloon. Refreshments and food can be stored in the coolbox, while entertainment is possible thanks to onboard music system. Upgraded models even have satellite TVs or internet.
