Description

Discover the epitome of sailing luxury, the 2011 Beneteau Sense 50. This exceptional yacht seamlessly combines elegance, comfort, and performance sailing, offering an unparalleled experience on the water.

This particular SENSE 50 has been equipped, maintained and updated such that we believe there is no other SENSE 50 ever sold in the USA that equals her sailing performance.  The sail inventory alone costs in excess of $65,000 and in very good condition.

For example, the owner replaced the shoal draft standard keel with a slightly deeper keel, reducing weight by about 2,000 # and hence better up wind performance.   The shoal keel is still available in the event a buyer wants that included, but not installed.

This and was purchased new by the current owner in 2013. She has a large open cockpit that flows seamlessly into the main salon, creating a unique indoor/outdoor living experience. The expansive main salon is flooded with natural light and has a wide layout similar to large catamarans. With two generous private cabins with their own heads, a comfortable private office that can be converted into a sleeping cabin, and a crew berth in the port cockpit locker, C’est Bon is the ideal boat for luxury liveaboard cruising and working remotely.

The many factory options include air conditioning and heating, a Northern Lights 7KW generator, dishwasher, microwave, electrically lifting saloon and cockpit dinettes, electrically lifting saloon TV, stack pack mainsail cover with lazy jacks, an extensive sail inventory including spinnakers, Code 0, and staysails, an upgraded Dock & Go joystick docking system, electric winches, and custom bedding.

 

A PERFECT CRUISER AND OCCASIONAL RACER

She has been lovingly maintained and regularly updated from new by her experienced owner. While used primarily for day sailing, she is also configured for offshore and inshore racing, with an entire inventory of North Racing Sails (3Di Main & Jib, A2, Code Zero, spinnaker staysail, genoa staysail, and storm jib and trysail), upgraded electronics, a performance rig, and all the required safety equipment for offshore racing. The many upgrades have produced a high-performance cruising yacht that can win races and will get you to your destination quickly and effortlessly.

Recent Upgrades Include:

  • Topsides painted with Awlgrip Shark Grey in 2015 and touched up and clear coated in 2023.
  • Bottom painted with Pettit Black Widow racing bottom paint in 2022.
