Description

2000 Beneteau 50 – Proven Bluewater Cruiser | Well-Maintained & Upgraded

Designed by Bruce Farr, this 2000 Beneteau 50 is a true bluewater cruiser, delivering exceptional performance, comfort, and style. With an extensive list of upgrades and meticulous maintenance, she is ready for long-range cruising or luxurious liveaboard life.

Her sleek blue GRP hull, sugar scoop transom, and beautifully refurbished teak deck create an elegant yet practical platform for ocean sailing. A 2023 below-waterline refurbishment ensures she is in prime condition, ready to set sail with confidence.

Powered by a reliable Volvo Penta 78hp turbocharged diesel engine, she also features a retractable Side-Power bow thruster for effortless manoeuvring. Her Mastervolt Whisper generator and extensive solar array provide energy efficiency and self-sufficiency, making extended passages seamless.

Her sloop rig features a slab-reefed mainsail, roller-furling genoa, and an unused asymmetrical cruising chute, offering versatile sail configurations for all conditions. Lewmar winches and spinnaker gear ensure responsive handling and control.

The interior, finished in rich dark cherry wood, offers spacious and well-appointed accommodation. A large forward ensuite master cabin, two ensuite aft cabins, and an optional crew berth provide comfort for families or guests. The saloon features a generous U-shaped dining area, while the well-equipped galley includes a Force 4 cooker, fridge, freezer, and ample storage.

Additional features such as Eberspacher heating, LED lighting, a new music system, and an LG Smart TV enhance onboard comfort. A full Raymarine navigation suite, 2023 True Kit tender with Yamaha outboard, and an array of cockpit and deck upgrades complete this exceptionally well-equipped yacht.
