Owner Experience Review
Owners and survey notes position the 50 PilothousefromSYMBOLsquarely as a coastal cruiser and practical liveaboard. Typical layouts are two or three staterooms, with a washer/dryer reported as standard in the two-stateroom version. The boat’s interior is called out for an expansive salon with the galley forward, a pilothouse dinette, and a full-beam master beneath the pilothouse; broker materials frequently mention heavy teak joinery, and one survey summarized the cosmetics as good even where some systems showed age.
On the water, owners describe the 50 Pilothouseas seakindly for coastal work and relatively easily driven, cruising around 18 knots with a top speed in the low 20s on typical twin 450 hp Caterpillar or Cummins power. It is not an ocean crosser given its fuel capacity and hull design, but owners report it does well offshore going port to port when planned within its range envelope.
Maintenance feedback is mixed and pragmatic: one owner noted that systems installation can be a bit haphazard, and a representative survey cited antiquated electronics and specific service items like failing generator sound-shield insulation and some inoperative appliances (ice maker, flybridge refrigerator, HVAC). A thorough systems review during survey is commonly recommended.
Pros and Cons
- Expansive salon, forward galley, pilothouse dinette, and a full-beam master support liveaboard and extended cruising use.

- Flexible two- or three-stateroom layouts, with a washer/dryer noted as standard in the two-stateroom version.
- Not intended for ocean crossings; better suited to coastal port-to-port passages.
- Owners report some haphazard systems installation that merits careful inspection.
- Many examples carry antiquated electronics and aging appliances that may require upgrades and service.
