Owner Experience Review

Owners typically describe the 50byBeneteauas a versatile large cruiser that splits time between private family cruising and hard‑worked charter duty. Three‑cabin owner versions are frequently cited as roomy, while four‑ and five‑cabin charter layouts trade space for berths and can feel tighter. It’s common in Moorings/charter fleets, and buyers of ex‑charter boats consistently note visible fleet wear and the need for reconditioning; weekenders and some liveaboards appreciate the big cockpit and accommodations but also flag the running costs of a 50‑footer.

Underway, expert notes point to surprisingly agile light‑air performance with a hull that likes to stretch its legs downwind and can semi‑plane. Owners emphasize sailing it upright: reef early to keep helm balanced and reduce slamming when pushing into a short, steep chop; compared with heavier‑displacement cruisers, motion can be livelier. The spade rudder helps in tight marinas but, as owners caution, offers less impact protection than a skeg‑hung design.

Aboard, the large cockpit and walk‑through transom make boarding and entertaining easy, though the wide cockpit leaves fewer close bracing points when heeled. The longitudinal galley, generous storage and tankage, and notably good engine access from both aft staterooms and the companionway get repeated praise. On the upkeep side, owners and forum threads advise checking balsa‑cored decks around chainplates and stanchion bases for moisture and soft spots, watching for gelcoat crazing and tired teak on older hulls, and being alert to keel, grid, and keel‑bolt repairs after groundings; ex‑charter examples often carry high engine hours and tired systems, so a thorough survey and allowance for wiring, pumps, and cosmetic work are prudent before purchase.

Pros and Cons

• Lively in light airs, with easy downwind miles and even semi‑planing reported by experts.
• Big cockpit and walk‑through transom enhance entertaining and boarding, with a practical longitudinal galley and generous storage.
• Multiple layouts suit private cruising or charter, and engine access is excellent from both sides and the companionway.
• Motion can be lively and slammy in short, steep seas; owners recommend reefing early and sailing it upright.
• Spade rudder aids maneuvering but offers less impact protection than a skeg‑hung design.
• Common age/charter issues include deck‑fitting leaks into cored areas, gelcoat/teak fatigue, and possible keel‑grid repairs after groundings, so a thorough survey is essential.
