Owner Experience Review
Owners and skippers use the 50 PredatorbySunseekeras a versatile owner-operator platform. The two-cabin layout with a full-beam aft master and a separate galley down suits couples or small families for multi-day cruising, while the large, open cockpit and retractable sunroof make it equally at home as a social day-boat. Brokers also note its fit for light private charter on short cruises, and the optional Beach Club and tender garage underline its entertainment brief.
For handling around marinas, joystick control working with bow and stern thrusters and Volvo electronic controls makes single-handed docking feasible. Under way it feels like a “big” sportscruiser that banks enthusiastically and responds crisply to the electronic steering, yet the shaft-and-rudder layout yields a broader turning circle at speed than razor-sharp sportboats. The shaft-drive with optional joystick delivers IPS-style manoeuvrability while keeping maintenance simpler; typical figures reported are a 20–23-knot cruise and about 32 knots at the top as tested.
Below, the full-beam aft master benefits from noticeably improved headroom and elbow room, and the galley-down arrangement keeps the main deck open. A bright saloon with big hull windows and a carbon-fibre sunroof helps the cockpit and saloon flow together for indoor-outdoor living. The Beach Club and tender garage enhance aft living but trade away engine-room headroom and some service access under the garage; engines are splayed wide with generally good access elsewhere. A recurring operational note is helm visibility as the bow rises onto the plane—owners and testers often run with some tab dialled in, use the raised bolster, and in some cases open the sunroof to improve sightlines.
Pros and Cons
- Owner-operator friendly docking with joystick, bow/stern thrusters, and Volvo electronic controls.
- Comfortable two-cabin arrangement with a full-beam aft master and a bright saloon with a retractable sunroof.
- Shaft-drive keeps maintenance simpler while the optional joystick provides IPS-style manoeuvrability.
- Bow rise onto the plane can impede helm visibility until tabs and seating are adjusted.
- The tender garage and Beach Club reduce engine-room headroom and some service access.
- At speed the turning circle is broader than sharper sportboats due to the shaft-and-rudder layout.
