This Beneteau Sense 50 is an excellent example of a well-maintained sailing yacht, designed for comfortable living aboard and extended voyages. The current owners, who are highly experienced sailors, have recently invested over AUD 60,000 in a comprehensive overhaul of all systems, ensuring the yacht is fully equipped for cruising.
Located in Spain, this yacht is VAT paid, allowing it to remain in the Mediterranean without any VAT complications. It is registered in Australia, making it ready for adventures like the ARK and transatlantic or transpacific crossings. All the necessary preparations have been made for a potential Australian buyer. However, the boat will be an amazing base to explore Med waters. Torrevieja is a convenient location close to Alicante which is a major hub in Southern Spain on the Costa Blanca. It is a close stepping off point for the Balearic Islands of Mallorca, Ibiza & Menorca. The jewels of the western Med. With a spacious layout, this yacht features a fantastic galley and saloon that seamlessly connects to a large cockpit. The design includes just three shallow steps leading up to the cockpit, combining the ease of a catamaran with the safety and sailing performance of a monohull.
All skin fittings replaced (2024), all plastic pressure water connections replaced with S/S and bronze (2024), LD strip lights in saloon and two cabins (2023), 12v dinghy inflator (2024).
