Is this the ultimate couple's owner cruising yacht? With just two cabins complete with ensuites and an office, this yacht can be operated by just one person, thanks to all electric winches and the Dock and Go joystick steering for those tight marina spaces. If accommodation is required for more than 2 couples, the office provides a single berth, the main saloon and cockpit can electrically lower their tables for 2 more each and a single berth can be created in the port lazarette.

Factory fitted with long range fuel (840L) and water (730L) this boat was fitted out with long range cruising and comfort in mind. Twin rudders and twin helms and no general accommodation aft, allows the cockpit to sit lower and hence requires only 3 steps down to the saloon!! This configuration provides two large lazarette storage lockers and easier access to engine bays, gen sets, air conditioning and a multitude of pumps.

Electric blinds in the main saloon are easy to operate and the hidden led lighting allows for different moods. The long galley bench allows for assistance in the galley and easier meal preparation and the ample saloon space makes living aboard a real pleasure with ample headroom and light throughout. The Sense 50 is a delight to sail in most wind and sea-states and easy to operate.

The latest in innovation, the Sense 50 redefines modern design and luxury on the water. From bow to stern, she surprises with the greatest in space, simplicity and cruising comfort.

Designed to sail closer to the water, her moderate heel is ideal for a more relaxed cruise. Offering the upmost in safety and performance, the Sense 50's spacious cockpit includes a dual helm and plenty of space under the sails. At anchor, with easy access to the water, the U-shaped layout of the cockpit seats and retractable table can be converted into a sun deck.

Only three steps through the gently sloped companionway connect the brilliance of life outdoors to the sophisticated interior. A full beam salon and wraparound view paired with the comfortable settee and oversized galley, makes the Sense 50’s interior comparable to that of a catamaran.

Surrounded by windows, the interior is bathed in natural light and provides a panoramic view of the horizon.
