DESCRIPTION:
The Ultimate Weekend Cruiser
The two-cabin layout on this Beneteau 50 is perfectly suited for a cruising couple with friends or a family looking for space and privacy. Forward, a generous owner’s stateroom spans the beam, featuring a private ensuite head with a separate shower. Thoughtful storage solutions abound in hanging lockers, cabinets, and drawers, allowing for comfortable long-term living aboard while maintaining a clean, uncluttered feel.
The main salon is impressively spacious, designed for relaxing and entertaining in equal measure. Recently refitted with crisp new white upholstery, the seating feels bright, modern, and inviting, giving the interior a fresh, contemporary look that really opens the space. To port, a large dining table easily seats eight for dinner, with additional seating to starboard for extra guests or a cozy lounging area. An aft-facing navigation station is well-equipped with electronics and is conveniently positioned near the companionway, making it easy to stay in communication with the crew on deck and manage the ship’s systems.
Aft to starboard, the large galley is laid out for secure, efficient use both at sea and at anchor, with ample counter space and storage. To port, the guest cabin features a very generous double berth, offering visitors a comfortable private retreat. Just forward of this cabin, the aft head includes private access from the guest cabin as well as a door to the passageway, allowing it to function as an ideal day head. Its location by the companionway makes it especially practical for coming below in wet gear without tracking water through the rest of the boat.
Modern cruising systems have been thoughtfully upgraded, including the new Raymarine autopilot, GPS, VHS, AIS, network, lithium battery bank and solar panels that significantly enhance the yacht’s energy independence. These additions support extended periods at anchor, and complement the boat’s liveaboard comforts, making life on board more self-sufficient and relaxed.

DECK
The deck layout of this Beneteau 50 is purpose-built for both sailing efficiency and onboard comfort. Twin wheels provide excellent visibility and clear access aft, while keeping the helm positions outboard for easy sightlines to the sails and instruments. Her generous aft cockpit is deep and secure, with ample seating that comfortably accommodates a full crew or family, making it an ideal space for both passage making and relaxing at anchor. Wide side decks and thoughtful hardware placement complete a layout that feels safe, practical, and easy to move around underway.
Recent canvas upgrades further enhance life on deck, with a new dodger and bimini providing excellent shelter from sun, wind, and spray. Together they create a well-protected helm and cockpit area, extending your usable living space and making time on the water more comfortable in a wide range of conditions.
