The Beneteau Oceanis 50 is a large and stylish offshore cruising yacht designed for effortless passage-making and easy short-handed sailing. Designed by Berret-Racoupeau with interior styling by Nauta Design, the Oceanis 50 offers a spacious and light-filled interior with beautiful timber joinery and an interior layout that works equally well at sea or dock-side. This is the preferred three-cabin owners version with a large island master and ensuite forward and two private aft cabins with a second adjoining ensuite. The cockpit provides twin-wheel steering, central cockpit table, walk-thru transom with extended platform and full cockpit enclosure. Cruising essentials include: Lithium batteries, solar, 5kW genset, thruster, reverse cycle air con/heating and watermaker. This vessel has undergone recent and significant upgrades, both in terms of engineering and gear. Work includes strengthening of the internal grid liner and new oversize stainless keel bolts. The rudder has been dropped and all steering gear serviced. A new Yanmar 110HP engine and gearbox (under warranty) have been fitted along with Flexofold feathering prop, dripless shaft seal, cutlass bearing and new True Design thru-hulls fittings - all professionally installed. All house batteries have been replaced with 3 x 310AH lithium phosphate properly managed with type-specific Victron hardware. Additionally, the yacht has near-new in-mast furling main and new furling genoa with Mylar reinforcement. This work demonstrates the owners philosophy to maintenance and reliability and any purchaser can rest assured that the big-ticket items have been ticked off and focus instead on passage planning or unforgettable family coastal cruising. This yacht is well priced and demands inspection. A 2029 Westhaven Marina berth is available by negotiation.
