Where the Wild Things Are is a 2011 Beneteau Oceanis 50 Family, the four-cabin version of this popular cruising yacht designed by Berret-Racoupeau, with interiors by Nauta Design.
The Oceanis 50 Family is a practical cruising design with a generous beam of nearly 16 feet, providing considerably more interior volume than many yachts of similar length. Her four-cabin layout offers accommodation for eight in four double cabins, making her well suited to family cruising or owners who regularly sail with guests.
Below decks, the saloon is spacious, with a large dining area, good natural light and plenty of storage throughout. The galley is equipped with a three-burner stove and oven, separate refrigerator and freezer, microwave and double stainless steel sink. Headroom is approximately 6'6", adding to the sense of space aboard. Air conditioning is also fitted.
On deck, the Oceanis 50 Family has a large cockpit with twin helm stations and a fixed mainsheet arch, keeping the mainsheet clear of the cockpit seating area. The wide side decks provide access forward, while the cockpit offers ample seating around a folding table, protected by a bimini and sprayhood.
Her sail handling arrangement includes a conventional mainsail with lazy jacks, furling genoa and four Harken electric self-tailing winches, a useful feature on a yacht of this size. A bow thruster assists with manoeuvring in confined spaces.
Navigation equipment includes Raymarine chartplotter, autopilot, wind instruments, depth sounder and VHF radio. Other equipment includes a 9kW Onan generator, electric anchor windlass, battery monitoring system and a Caribe 10.5 dinghy with 20hp Mercury outboard.
Where the Wild Things Are is a former charter yacht that has subsequently been privately owned and lightly used for approximately ten years. She presents in reasonable overall condition for her age, although she is not without areas that would benefit from some attention and updating. Prospective buyers should approach her with realistic expectations of a 15-year-old cruising yacht.
For someone looking for a spacious, four-cabin cruising yacht with a practical deck layout and useful equipment already aboard, Where the Wild Things Are is worth considering.
Accommodation
Where The Wild Things Are features a four-cabin, four-head layout, with two double cabins forward and two double cabins aft, each with its own ensuite head and shower. The spacious central salon has a large U-shaped seating area and dining table to starboard, with a longitudinal galley to port offering ample counter space and storage. A dedicated navigation station is located to starboard near the companionway. Large hull windows and opening overhead hatches provide natural light and ventilation throughout the interior, while each cabin has its own hanging locker and storage space.

Owner's Comments and Boat History
We have thoroughly enjoyed owning and sailing her. We bought her new in the Moorings Charter Group in St. Lucia and named her after the Maurice Sendak Children’s Novel by that name “Where The Wild Things Are”.
After five (5) years of sailing her in Moorings we took her for ourselves, sailing her from St. Lucia to Trinidad. We have sailed her regularly on week ends, off the west coast of Trinidad, in the Gulf of Paria to Point-a-Pierre, overnight and back to the Trinidad and Tobago Yachting Association (TTYA) and, have spent most Christmas and Easter Holidays sailing her in the Grenadines with friends and family, including our daughters and their friends. She is very spacious and comfortable to live on, equipped with all the “live aboard” amenities. Three of us sail-raced her from TTYA to win the annual Trinidad to Grenada Girl Pat Race. She is lovely to sail, handles very comfortably and, is very easy to handle. Of course we will miss her but ... its time to move on.
