Accomodations
- First off, it is pleasing to see all the beautiful and warm woodwork and craftmanship below deck. She feels much like a vessel of early days with solid wood and not the laminate or veneer one sees in todays vessels. She is a true yacht with lovely cabinetry and leaded glass features. She has proven herself and crossed many ocean miles thru the years with her original owner. This is the perfect live-aboard for a couple or small family looking to sail the ocean or simply go down island for a spell.
- Starting forward is the Master Stateroom; Large centerline berth is surrounded by rich wood ceiling strips, shelves and lockers. Private access to the Master head is aft to port and additional lockers are to starboard. There is plenty of light provided by multiple overhead hatches and port lights. The Master Head has a separate shower stall, vanity and toilet. Ventilation is provided by opening ports and an overhead hatch.
- Moving aft one enters the Main Salon. I think anyone would be taken back by the shear volume of this space. Again you are surrounded by the lovely woodwork, outboard shelves and lockers. Leaded glass cabinet forward serves as a liquor cabinet. To port is a large U-shaped dinette with fixed table and to starboard are two chairs with small table in between. As open as this space is, one could have chairs on the inboard side of the dinette for additional seating if seating 6 is not enough.
- Aft of the chairs is the refrigeration followed by the full galley. The galley tucks under the forward end of the cockpit and does not take away from the salon, yet has everything one could want for extended cruising.
- Aft of the dinette is the Aft facing Navigation station followed by the guest Stateroom. Here again is a very comfortable stateroom with large queen berth, hanging locker and its own private head.
- There is excellent access to the engine compartment from the galley, the aft stateroom as well as under the companionway steps. Batteries are at the foot of the steps and under the aft berth. There is a gas heater in the salon but the owner never had a need for air-conditioning with all her multiple hatches and opening ports.

2002 Beneteau 50 Video Tours
Beneteau 50: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Beneteau Gran Turismo 50 is the latest evolution of the company’s successful express cruiser line, succeeding the Gran Turismo 49. This model has been redesigned from the ground up, incorporating numerous innovations while maintaining the qualities that established Beneteau’s strong presence in the North American market. The GT50 is available in two or three stateroom configurations, offering versatility for different owner needs.
Exterior Design and Deck Layout
Starting at the stern, the GT50 features a hydraulically actuated swim platform that extends nearly four feet from the transom. This platform includes pull-up cradles designed to secure a tender or personal watercraft, complemented by a garage capable of housing a Williams minijet tender behind an elevating hatch. The platform can be lowered into the water to facilitate launching or serve as a private beach area. Adjacent to the platform is an electric grill covered by a hatch, with convenient grab handles for safety near the water. Access to the side decks is provided by stairs on both the port and starboard sides. The starboard side deck leads forward to the bow, where two large side-by-side sun pads with flip-up backrests convert into chaise lounges. The cockpit features an improved L-shaped seating arrangement replacing the previous model’s aft bench. A teak pedestal table with grab rails and beverage holders is electrically adjustable in height and can be converted into a sun pad with filler cushions. Nearby, a teak cabinet houses a covered sink and an ice maker, with a wrapped grab rail behind it. The cockpit also includes a control panel for various functions such as the tender garage and table actuator, though the switches lack labeling. Decking is available in teak as an option, with a standard non-skid fiberglass surface. An extendable overhead awning provides shade and protection.
Interior Living Spaces
The salon of the GT50 emphasizes openness and visibility, with windows that extend low to provide excellent sightlines even when seated. The port side features L-shaped seating around a solid wood pedestal table with leather inlay and stainless steel accents, while the starboard side has a two-person loveseat with a movable armrest containing beverage holders. An ottoman with storage adds flexibility to the seating arrangement. The interior finish demonstrates an upgraded level of craftsmanship, evident in the bulkheads, overhead, and furnishings. Teak decking continues inside, and the air conditioning unit is discreetly housed on the starboard side, above a refrigerated drawer. Opening side windows and a sunroof allow natural light and fresh air to permeate the space. The salon’s sliding doors open wide to create a seamless flow between inside and outside, extending the seating arrangement around the cockpit and up the port side. Upholstery throughout is consistent, using weather-resistant Sunbrella fabric.
Galley and Dining
Located down below on the port side, the galley maintains the high-quality materials characteristic of the Gran Turismo series. It benefits from a generous ceiling height of 6 feet 5 inches. The galley is equipped with a refrigerator and freezer combo, with the option to replace the lower compartment with an additional freezer. Above, a convection microwave and double burner stove provide cooking capabilities, complemented by ample Corian countertop space and a double-basin stainless steel sink with covers. Storage includes drawers, with an option to install a dishwasher. A clever 'Magic Corner' maximizes storage efficiency. Opposite the galley, on the starboard side, is a comfortable L-shaped seating area with overhead storage and an opening port light. This space can be converted into a third stateroom by adding a bulkhead, accommodating larger groups or families.
Private Accommodations
The GT50 offers two primary staterooms in the standard layout. The forward stateroom features an island queen berth with access on both sides and the ability to separate the mattress in a scissor fashion for non-couple guests. Hull-side windows with opening port lights provide ventilation and natural light, while ample storage is available in closets and shelves. A private en suite head includes a walk-in shower, vessel sink, large mirror, shelf space, an opening port light, and air conditioning vents. This head also serves as a day head through a second entrance. The full-beam master stateroom aft boasts a headroom of 6 feet 3 inches maintained throughout the space, including over the berth, thanks to a clever structural design that incorporates the cockpit above. The berth is center-mounted with cushions featuring LED lighting and storage beneath. Additional storage includes closets and nightstands on both sides. The master head features a vessel sink with storage, a water closet with an opening port light, and a separate walk-in shower. Doors use magnetic catches to avoid hardware obstructions. Just outside the master stateroom is a cabinet housing a combination washer and dryer with adjacent storage space. A central vacuum socket is also located nearby.
Conclusion
The Beneteau Gran Turismo 50 represents a comprehensive redesign that builds upon the strengths of its predecessor while introducing numerous enhancements in layout, comfort, and functionality. The design team has successfully integrated innovative features such as the hydraulic swim platform with tender garage, versatile cockpit seating, and flexible interior arrangements. With the promise of a forthcoming flybridge version, the GT50 solidifies Beneteau’s commitment to the express cruiser market by delivering a refined, well-appointed vessel suitable for a variety of cruising lifestyles.
