Owner Experience Review
Owners of the 500 Flydescribe it as a genuinely family-friendly cruiser, with one reporting roughly 300 hours in 18 months of year-round use. For weekend leisure and day trips, many carry a jetski and a small RIB for watersports. On the water, feedback points to solid seakeeping in rougher patches and typical speeds in the high-20s to around 30 knots depending on engine option and load. IPS with joystick plus a bow thruster make close-quarters work straightforward, and when fitted, a gyrostabilizer such as SeaKeeper noticeably reduces roll. Some examples also appear on charter rosters in places like Saint-Tropez, underscoring the layout’s broad appeal.
Living spaces are a strong point: owners highlight a full-beam midships owner’s stateroom with ensuite and a bright saloon/galley with large windows and comfortable headroom. On certain versions known for cockpit innovation, folding balconies, an optional beach club, and a rotating dinette significantly expand social space; the tradeoff noted in reviews is that the upper flybridge helm can feel compromised by a fixed bench and a long reach to the displays. Routine care is workable, though engine-room access via deck hatches and pole ladders can be compact for major jobs. Owners also flag the usual IPS/outdrive service items—seals and periodic maintenance, plus occasional electrical faults—and, where Volvo Penta D6s are fitted, reports of supercharger-to-turbo hesitation and turbo/exhaust housing corrosion to watch for. Many advise targeting well-maintained boats a couple of seasons old with complete service records.
Pros and Cons
- Family-friendly layout with a full-beam midships owner’s stateroom and a bright, practical saloon/galley.
- Confident seakeeping with typical performance in the high-20s to ~30 knots, subject to engine and load.
- IPS joystick, bow thruster, and optional SeaKeeper give easy close-quarters handling and reduced roll.
- IPS/pod and outdrive systems demand diligent seal and service intervals, with occasional electrical faults reported.
- Upper flybridge helm ergonomics can be weak, with a fixed bench and a long reach to the displays.
- Volvo Penta D6 installations have reported supercharger-to-turbo hesitation and turbo/exhaust corrosion to monitor.
