Beneteau Sense 50 -- "Joyful Surprise" - Just arrived on the Gold Coast, Australa, all taxes paid and ready for new owners to enjoy. Asking $499,000 AUD.
The Beneteau Sense 50 redefined modern cruising yacht design when introduced, combining the sailing performance expected from Beneteau with an entirely new approach to onboard living. Designed by Berret-Racoupeau Yacht Design with interiors by Nauta Design, the Sense 50 quickly earned recognition for its innovative layout, expansive cockpit, exceptional natural light and seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.
"Joyful Surprise" is a top example of the model, extensively upgraded for comfortable long-range cruising and effortless liveaboard life. Her open-plan saloon, enormous cockpit, twin helms and brilliant swim access create a level of comfort more commonly associated with luxury catamarans, while retaining the sailing capability, safety and elegance of a performance monohull.
This vessel has benefitted from significant recent investment, including:
New SD60 Yanmar saildrive (Dec 2025).
Hydranet Dyneema sails (2023).
900Ah LiFePO4 lithium battery bank.
1320W solar array with Victron power management.
Watermaker.
Modern B&G / Simrad electronics suite.
Refreshed rigging and running gear.
Dodger and bimini.
In addition to many factory extras including:
Onan 6kVA Cumminn generator.
Factory fitted airconditioning.
The Sense 50 is celebrated for being exceptionally easy to handle short-handed, thanks to its intelligent deck layout, electric winches, furling sail systems and balanced sail plan. Yet beneath the luxury and comfort lies a capable offshore cruiser with impressive passage-making credentials.
Whether entertaining at anchor, coastal cruising Australia, or preparing for extended bluewater adventures through the Pacific and beyond, "Joyful Surprise" presents as a highly specified, turnkey cruising yacht ready for immediate departure.
