8 Flybridge Yachts Under 60 Feet Always In Demand

8 Flybridge Yachts Under 60 Feet Always In Demand

December 21, 2018 9:41 am

Flybridge yachts under 60 feet have evolved over the years from the iconic double-deck Hatteras (Hargrave) designs of the 1970s and 1980s to today’s sleek Eurostyle yachts with their curvaceous lines and acres of window glass. European styling caught on in America in the late 1990s when builders like Sea Ray, Carver and Bayliner introduced a series of successful new models designed to appeal to the growing baby boomer market.

Today nearly all flybridge motoryachts are imported from Europe and the only U.S. builders remaining in this market segment are Marquis, Meridian and — to a lesser extent — Sea Ray. While flybridge yachts under 60 feet are nowhere near as popular as express yachts this size, their popularity has remained fairly consistent and new models continue to evolve. That said, profiled below are eight of the most popular flybridge models produced in recent years.

–Ed McKnew, Powerboat Specialist

best flybridge yachts under 50 feet

Sunseeker Manhattan 52 2008–11

At a Glance: A top-selling yacht (over 50 were built), it’s fair to say the Sunseeker Manhattan 52 set the standards during her production years for motoryacht styling, luxury and performance. Deigned to mirror many of the features of her larger siblings, the three stateroom, galley down interior includes a spacious salon with C-shaped leather settee, full entertainment center and high-gloss cherry cabinets. Perhaps the most impressive feature of the Manhattan 52 is her spacious and opulent owner’s suite.

A crew cabin with single berth and small head is aft. The outdoor space aboard the Manhattan is impressive. Aside from her large cockpit, there is a roomy flybridge whose deck forms a hardtop over most of the cockpit. MAN 800hp (or 715hp Cat) engines cruise the 52 Manhattan at 24–26 knots (30+ knots top).

Price Range: From the mid $600s.

Sunseeker Manhattan 52 2017–Current

At a Glance:   Spectacular styling, very spacious accommodations and strong performance rank the Manhattan 52 among the finest cruising yachts in this class. Said to be the fastest selling model in the Sunseeker fleet. The outside living areas are especially impressive, particularly the unique foredeck dining area and the expansive flybridge which extends well aft over the cockpit.

Entering the interior, the galley is aft where it’s easily accessed from the cockpit. With the galley window down the countertop forms a bar on the port side of the cockpit—very clever. The salon windows are hugel. Below, there are accommodations for six guests in three cabins. The hydraulic bathing platform features a pop-up shower, bench and optional grill. Offered with IPS drives of straight inboards, twin Volvo 725hp D11 inboard engines cruise at 25–26 knots (30+ knots top).

Price Range: From about $1.3 million.

Marquis 500 Sport Bridge 2009–16

At a Glance: The bold lines, megayacht-style interior and triple-IPS power system of the Marquis 500 Sport Bridge offer something different from most motoryachts this size. Perhaps the most innovative feature of the 500 SB is what Marquis calls a “sliding transom” that glides aft with a push of a button to create additional cockpit space. The well-appointed interior features dark Zebrano wood, black granite counters, and cherry flooring throughout.

Below, the three-stateroom layout includes a forward master suite with ensuite head, VIP queen to port, and twin single berths in the second guest cabin. The galley, salon, cockpit, and swim platform are all on the same level. A optional hydraulic swim platform makes lowering the tender in and out of the water an easy task. Triple Volvo 435hp IPS pod drives cruise the at over 30 knots.

Price Range:  From about $1.3 million.

best flybridge yachts under 50 feet

Princess 56 Flybridge 2014–Current

At a Glance:   The Princess 56 is a stylish flybridge yacht that shares many design features with larger Princess models. The interior is beautifully finished with high-gloss cabinetry, indirect lighting and quality furnishings throughout. Below, guests enjoy an ensuite VIP cabin in the bow and a twin cabin (with beds that convert electrically to a double) aft and to starboard.

The master suite is aft with queen berth, settee, and huge rectangular glass panes that set new standards for hull windows in a yacht this size. Crew quarters with a single bed and head are aft. The cockpit boasts a teak dining table and bench seating. Teak-laid steps on either side lead down to the bathing platform. The vast flybridge features a sun bed, twin helm seats, wet bar, barbecue and dining areas. MAN 800hp inboards cruise at 25–26 knots (low 30s top).

Price Range: Used prices begin at just under $1 million.

Prestige 550 Fly 2012–Current

At a Glance: Distinctive French motor yacht with the emphasis on affordability. The interior of the 550 Fly is arranged with a large and open galley aft in the salon. Lower helm visibility is exceptional on this vessel. Three staterooms and two heads (plus crew quarters aft) are on the lower level including an elegant full-beam master suite with private salon access, large hull side windows, and walk-in closet.

The VIP stateroom, forward, has an island double, while the third, twin-berth, stateroom comes with a filler. This model comes in two versions: The Prestige 550 Fly (flybridge), and the Prestige 550 S with an electrically operated sunroof. Built on a lightweight cored hull, the 550 Fly will cruise at 24–26 knots with 600hp Cummins diesels coupled to Zeus pod drives (30+ top). Note that the pods are located well aft and a jackshaft connects the engines to the pods.

Price Range: From the high $700s.

best flybridge yachts under 50 feet

Azimut 50 Flybridge 2015–Current

At a Glance:   A striking yacht with unusually large salon windows, the Azimut 50 Flybridge is a three stateroom Italian yacht with Azimut’s signature vertical hull windows and a decidedly broad bow area. Below decks, a U-shaped settee sits to starboard with a wood table at its center. Another settee is to port in the salon, and the raised lower helm is forward to starboard. Contrary to current trends, the galley is down rather than aft in the salon.

Storage is scarce and countertop space is extremely limited. The owner’s cabin is amidships, and the VIP cabin is at the bow as is the second guest cabin with two Pullman berths. The cockpit is completely shaded by the flybridge overhang and a U-shaped lounge runs the length of the transom. A hydraulic swim platform is standard. Volvo 670hp inboards cruise at 26–27 knots.

Price Range:   From about $1.1 million.

Azimut 5 Evolution 2002–11

At a Glance:   The 55 Evolution (called the 55 Flybridge in 2001–04) displays a styling scheme very different from earlier Azimut motoryachts. Gone are the tiered cabin windows of previous years replaced by fin-shaped salon windows. Also new were vertical glass panels in the hullsides, a design innovation that has become common in newer Azimuts. The open-plan salon features a C-shaped leather sofa to port and entertainment center to starboard.

The galley and dining area are forward, two steps up from the salon. Below, there are three staterooms and two full heads including a full-beam amidships master, VIP queen forward, and guest cabin with side-by-side berths. Lacquered cherry wood cabinets and trim are used throughout the interior. Crew quarters with a single berth and toilet are aft. Cat 715hp C12 V-drive diesels cruise at 26 knots (30+ top).

Price Range:   From the mid to high $300s.

Carver 570 Voyager 2001–05

At a Glance:   A seriously popular boat, the 570 Voyager is a stretched version of the Carver 530 Voyager (1998–2005) with the extra length used to enlarge the salon and galley. The three stateroom cherry interior is arranged with the galley forward in the very spacious salon with its long L-shaped sofa to starboard and club chairs opposite. A breakfast bar is built into the galley counter, and large windows together with nearly seven feet of headroom combine to create an unusually open and airy salon.

Below, the amidships master stateroom features a walkaround queen berth and ensuite head with tub/shower. The VIP stateroom forward includes a queen berth, and the second guest stateroom offers over/under bunks. A big attraction of the 570 is the roomy pilothouse with L-shaped leather sofa and wraparound helm console. Volvo 675hp diesels cruise at 22–24 knots.

Price Range:   From about $300K.

Princess Yachts F55 Wins Best Flybridge Up To 60 Feet Award

Princess Yachts F55 Award Winner

The Princess Yachts F55 Flybridge has won the award for "Best Flybridge Up To 60 Feet" presented by Motor Boat and Yachting Magazine. Described by MBY as the "real bread and butter for the (Princess Yachts) yard", the F55 simply does everything right.

Delighted to announce that the Princess F55 has won the @mbymagazine award for best Flybridge up to 60ft. #MotorBoatAwards #experiencetheexceptional pic.twitter.com/ixbC9mlMeo — Princess Yachts (@_PrincessYachts) May 8, 2019

The Princess Yachts 55 Flybridge won despite stiff competition in its class against the Azimut 55, Galeon 360 Fly and 460 Fly, and the Sealine F430. The MBY Awards are "the only marine awards with the motor boat buyers' best interests at heart," according to their website. The awards are judged purely on the design, ability, and value for money amongst their peers in the same size and class. "This is a testament to the quality and craftsmanship that goes into every Princess Yacht ," said Jay Hendrix , Vice President of SI Yachts. "We receive a lot of interest in 50 to 60 foot Princess Yachts, it's definitely a popular segment for the brand."

(Seen below: A video review of the Princess 55 by Motor Boat & Yachting)

Princess made sure the F55 was just as much focused on entertainment as it is on cruising accommodations. The aft cockpit on the Princess 55 Flybridge is just one of those places on board that guests seem to congregate around. The teak swim platform is hydraulic and lowers into the water for easy off-boarding, scuba diving, and simply relaxing at the water's edge. The flybridge overhang provides shade to the sitting area on the cockpit. This space features a comfortable couch and table for outside dining and connects to the galley and salon when the aft doors are completely open.

Princess 55 Flybridge aft cockpit space

The galley onboard the Princess F55 is placed aft for convenient serving to the outside cockpit. With the aft doors open and the galley window up, the entire salon and cockpit are fully connected created a wonderful open and sunshine-filled layout. Everything you need to entertain guests for a night cruise or feed your crew during an extended voyage is in the galley including the best appliances and an abundance of storage.

aft galley on the Princess 55 Flybridge

The dining space on the F55 is up a few steps from the galley which provides a small, but nice separation between the two spaces without cutting them off. The dining area has room for 8 guests and is across from a second couch that sits in front of a hidden flat-screen television. Two comfortable seats are stationed at the helm placed starboard.

Dining area on board the princess f55

The lower deck of the Princess F55 features 3 large staterooms and 3 heads. As you can see below, the VIP stateroom and the third guest cabin share a head, while the full-beam master suite has its own. The VIP features a large double berth with lots of storage space.

Princess F55 lower deck layout

The master suite also features a large double berth with room to walk around either side. There is a dressing table, a wardrobe closet with shelves, drawers under the bed, and additional storage lockers. The hull-side windows and hatches provide plenty of lower deck natural light and ventilation.

The exterior lines highlight the wide, uninterrupted windows created from Absolute’s inventive reduction in the typical pillars. This has equally benefited the lower deck cabin windows which are similarly without obstruction.

Opportunities for relaxation outdoors are abundant, highlighted by the comfortable and versatile aft cockpit that is directly connected to the galley. The sofa is easily converted into a large sunpad for soaking in the warm sunshine. The flybridge area, among the largest space for yachts in this class, offers a large table surrounded by a sofa. In addition, it also features a full galley space, a helm with double seating, and another comfortable sun lounger.

The third sunbathing area is located at the bow, easily accessible through a pleasant and well-protected walkway.

50 FLY

The exterior lines of the 50 FLY are a chromatic contrast characterized by the main deck interior which is bright, airy, and finely furnished.

On the left side of the entrance, the galley is equipped with practical countertop  space for food preparation, as well as plenty of storage for longer cruises. An electrically sliding glass can open up the aft cockpit to the galley which allows for easy serving to guests.

The furniture in the salon has been redesigned to offer new stowage space, maximize the interior volume, and provide a comfortable place to relax after a long day in the sun. Furthermore, large sofas, furnishings, new air conditioning systems, and the entertainment area contribute to making the onboard experience truly delightful.

The main deck helm station is ergonomic, well-equipped, has a, opening side doorthat is particularly helpful when maneuvering, and a complete controls for the yacht.

50 FLY

Located midship on the lower deck, the full-beam master cabin is very spacious, refined with elegant color combinations, and equipped with big storage spaces. It offers an incredible view of the sea thanks to two side unobstructed windows. The en-suite head is lavishly decorated with the finest materials possible.

The VIP cabin also covers the entire beam of the boat. It is comfortable and bright with an ensuite head that has double access from both the stateroom and the companionway. Finally, the third guest cabin has two berths and a walk-in closet. The aft crew cabin can be easily used for extra guests if desired.

  • By Kim Kavin
  • March 14, 2024

The Y95 is the new flagship of Princess Yachts’ four-model Y Class of open-flybridge designs in larger sizes. There are five en suite staterooms for a total of 10 guests, with the master spanning the full beam on the main deck. The flybridge is set up for driving and entertaining in comfort. There are twin adjustable helm seats, along with a forward-facing L-shaped seating area for guests. The dining table up top seats 10 people (additional dining space is on the main deck). 

A bar on the flybridge includes a sink, an electric barbecue, a hob and a drawer refrigerator. Power is a pair of 2,000 hp MAN V-12s that, according to Princess, allow for a top speed of 23 knots. Crew quarters are abaft the engine room, separate from the guest spaces.

best flybridge yachts under 50 feet

tader2112 New Member

Hi All - looking at a flybridge yacht and have come across several manufactures: Azimut, Princess, Ferretti, etc. Is there a clear ranking when it comes to build quality and prestige for boats in the 50-70 foot range? Any other brands we should be considering?

I'd have to say Hatteras leads as far as quality goes. When you take a look at both new and 10-15 year old ones, they fair extremely well as they age. The wiring is routed extremely well, plumbing, paint, no caulking all over, thick teak decks, welded stainless rails and not the ones that go into cups with set screws that bleed rust all of the time, structural, fiberglass fuel tanks instead of aluminum. etc. etc.

Definitely consider Palm Beach and Grand Banks. Same company, quite high quality boats. A family member has had two PB's and very happy with both of them and with PB post-purchase service.

Seems like OP is considering a Euro style design so the Hats, PB, GB, etc don’t really fit that mold (albeit the GB performance is impressive). Could also consider Monte Carlo and Sunseeker but not sure how those would fall on the rankings.

Pascal Senior Member

The OP didn’t bother telling us where he is... he only mentioned euro brands so he may be in Europe. I guess we re supposed to guess... It makes a big difference Hatteras has gone euro style with most of their boats. I don’t think many production builders come close in quality

Not to veer, but Hatt plotted the wrong course when it entered euro coordinates.

What about Viking? Or the Viking Princess if you want Euro flare? I too think that Hatteras is the best mainstream boat out there.

Capt J said: ↑ The 75' Hatteras MY is an extremely well laid out yacht with a ton of space for it's size and it's a monster. A good sea boat with a lot of capability. The 60' MY is very roomy for entertaining, but only 3 staterooms and no crew stateroom........so depends on what your needs are, but has a ton of range and storage and capability for it's size. I would agree that Feretti is one of the best of the Italian bunch (but would favor Sunseeker over it), however they just cannot figure out how to build a YACHT. In this size segment, they have no headroom, a ton of steps, and those darn toe killing 1" sills you stub your feet on entering every single stateroom, ohhhh and limited refrigeration. They build a boat for a 30 year old owner that's 5'9. Click to expand...

Also check Absolute, been on the new 60 Fly and was quite impressed, don't know how the older models are though...

I don't need to go to the Ferretti website to know how their boats look like - as well as S/skrs. And with the latter, imho one expression which you frequently used in the past springs to mind, i.e. all sizzle and no steak. BTW, did you ever notice how this expression sort of reminds Sunseeker also from an onomatopeic standpoint? Anyway, I was mostly arguing with your qualification of a whole industry, while taking the opportunity to throw in your usual Sunseeker suggestion (yawn...), more than anything else.

Real happy with my 2002 Neptunus 56...Maybe not a "luxury" brand but well built and very servicable. Anyway aren't yachts always considered a luxury ??

Sunreef 100

For many yacht owners, the solution to finding more space aboard for friends and family is summed up by that immortal line by Chief Brody in Jaws: “You’re gonna need a bigger boat.”

Until now, bigger has typically meant longer. But that’s quickly changing as more and more builders are creating interior volume by going wider and taller. For disrupter builder Wally Yachts and its polarizing new Wallywhy 150—which refers to its internal volume rather than the boat’s length—the quirky design is said to deliver 50 percent more space than more traditional 78-footers.

Other builders like Princess have been in the game since 2021. Its X95 first appeared several years ago, effectively throwing down the gauntlet as a way forward for sub-100-foot yachts to supersize both interior and exterior volumes.

Since then, many other builders of small superyachts have jumped on board, with designs that typically have somewhat bloated profiles, far-forward main suites, and open transoms—features all designed to maximize space but minimize length.

Here are 10 new yachts 100 feet and under that are breaking the mold in an attempt to dominate the nautical space race.

<p>It’s no wonder that disrupter Italian builder Wally—now part of the Ferretti Group—calls its latest head-turner a “spaceship.” Claiming up to 50 percent more space than comparable 78-footers, the 150 (named after interior volume rather than length) has standout features like a main salon with over eight feet of headroom, and a beam of more than 22 feet. The pragmatic design includes a one-level main deck attached to an open rear cockpit that offers easy access to the water. Its most noteworthy feature is the rule-breaking, full-beam master suite tucked into the bow on the main deck. It has wraparound glass—stretching all the way around the bow—for panorama-like views from the main bedroom. Priced from about $6.7 million.</p>

<p>Short for Ultra High Volume, this new Turkish-built pocket superyacht is a sistership to Lazzara’s UHV 100 and 125 models. The newest Lazzara boasts an impressive 2,153 square feet of interior space in its 87-foot length. Arguably, the boat is not pretty in a classic sense. The towering hull sides, blunt, plumb bow, and dark-tinted glass make it look more like a dinner cruiser than a mini-superyacht. But the interior space is astonishing, from the cavernous Sky Lounge, with its floor-to-ceiling windows, to the salon with a separate, chandelier-lit dining area and chef’s galley. With a fuel capacity of 3,000 gals, the twin 1,000 hp Volvo D13s deliver a top speed of 16 knots. The boat also has transatlantic range. Base price starts at about $10.9 million.</p>

<p>Movie nights under the stars should have a whole new appeal aboard UK builder Sunseeker’s brand-new 98-footer. Lie back on the yacht’s extra-wide foredeck sunpad and watch the latest blockbuster on a 140-inch screen with laser projection. Or, if you’re the lucky owner, stargaze from your private terrace tucked away in the bow, just steps from the full-beam main-deck master suite, with atrium-style glass sliding doors. One of the best innovations here is the wide, uninterrupted walkway around the entire top deck, which provides safe, easy access from the flybridge to the forward entertaining space. With its twin 2,600 hp V16 MTU diesels, top speed is an impressive 29 knots. Priced from about $10.5 million.</p>

<p>For its brand-new Grande 26M compact superyacht, Italian builder Azimut has gone extra wide to create massive interior and exterior spaces. Spatial highlights include a full-width flybridge that’s almost 20 feet across and close to 40 feet long, and a foredeck entertaining area that seems more like an outdoor patio. The Alberto Mancini-styled go-fast cruiser is crammed with space-enhancing innovations, such as a teak-decked garage door that, at the touch of a button, hinges upwards to extend the rear cockpit by almost five feet. New ZF pod drives coupled to the yacht’s twin 1,650 hp MAN V12 diesels also save space. It is priced from about $6.2 million.</p>

<p>As we said during our <a href="https://robbreport.com/motors/marine/on-superyacht-breaks-all-the-rules-1234606462/">2021 tour</a> of Britain’s Princess Yachts’ tri-deck X95 “When it comes to the polarizing, head-spinning design, there are no half-measures, no in-betweens. You either love it. Or loathe it.” But what those eye-popping lines hide is perhaps the most spacious 95-foot luxury cruiser in the category. Reckoned to be some 40 percent roomier than cruisers with the same length, the X95 has stretch-out accommodations for up to 10 in five cabins and living spaces that rival most apartments. The flybridge covers almost the entire length of the yacht. The 100 is also fast, with twin 1,990 hp MAN V12s delivering a top speed of 23 knots. Prices start at about $12 million.</p>

<p>This broad-beamed 96-footer is from the Italian builder Extra Yachts, which is part of the Palumbo Superyachts Group. While it’s called the Triplex, there are actually four levels if you include the cozy upper sundeck with its outdoor kitchen, dining area and oversized sunpads. The exterior comes courtesy of Italian designer Francesco Guida, while interiors are by Milan-based Hot Labs. Both teams have made the most of the yacht’s class-leading 25-foot beam. Notable features include a vast full-beam master on the main level and an upper salon dedicated entirely to dining, with a table for 10, an open chef’s galley and an adjoining outdoor bar. Twin Volvo IPS1350s deliver a 16.5-knot top speed. Priced from $12 million.</p>

<p>This Sunreef power catamaran’s beam spans a staggering 44 feet, offering the kind of interior and exterior spaces you only get with superyachts twice the length. Every element of the yacht is XXL-size—from the massive hydraulic swim platform to the full-width flybridge that covers almost 1,000 square feet. Down in the salon is a huge 11-seat U-shaped bar that would delight any mixologist. The five staterooms in the twin hulls have space for 10. A pair of 1,300 hp MAN V8 diesels delivers a six-knot top speed. It is priced from about $15.3 million.</p>

<p>In Italian, the word “navetta” translates to “little ship.” Which is a perfect description for Absolute’s new 75-foot fast cruiser. It’s an evolution of the strong-selling Navetta 73 but with nearly two feet of extra length. The yacht’s expansive interior volumes will remain the same, with features like a forward master stateroom on its own level that has a private entrance steps away from the main salon. The salon features floor-to-ceiling glass, with full views of the water, courtesy of open bulwarks. Twin 1,000 hp Volvo IPS1350 diesels deliver a top speed of 25 knots. Pricing starts at about $4 million.</p>

<p>Cross a spacious Miami high-rise penthouse with a Canyon Ranch spa and the result could be this new 96-foot superyacht from Italian builder Arcadia. Boasting a remarkable 4,300 square feet of total living space, there’s room for 12 guests and five crew. And the living spaces even expand, courtesy of fold-down terraces in the main salon and on the rear deck. But the yacht’s focus on wellness and healthy living sets it apart. That expansive, teak-decked foredeck, spanning over 500 square feet, is perfect for yoga sessions or meditation, while the cockpit and beach club offer another 1,000 square feet of social space. For extra peace and quiet at anchor, solar panels can provide up to nine hours of generator-free power.</p>

<p>Think of it as offering pace, with space. Turkish yard Numarine has been building its bold 85-foot 26XP explorer style mini-superyacht since 2018, but later this year, it will launch the U.S.-focused 26XP Fast. Instead of slow-churning 435 hp diesels and nine-knot cruising, it’s bolting-in a pair of mighty 1,800 hp MAN V12s and modifying the hull to deliver a top speed of 31 knots. What hasn’t changed is the XP’s cavernous interior and expensive deck space. Take the top-deck flybridge which, thanks to the yacht’s 21-foot beam and far-forward helm, spans over 700 square feet. That space will include a dining table for eight, a full outdoor kitchen, and more lounges than a Saint-Tropez beach bar. Prices start from $6.95 million.</p>

Our resident used boat expert Nick Burnham picks out four of the best boats under 50ft on the market right now that offer lots of interior space in a manageable length.

Space – the final frontier, according to a popular sci-fi TV show. For boat manufacturers, space means something else – sales. Examine the development of family boats over the last decade or two and you’ll see a huge push toward maximising volume.

Decks have got higher as topsides stretch to the sky and boats have got wider to accommodate trends such as full-beam owner’s cabins even on boats below 50ft. These days, boats are floating apartments first, offshore ships second.

Which is fine, it’s clearly what the customer wants, but there is another way. So this month I’ve found you four of the best boats under 50ft that pack in the space without looking like a slimming club visit is long overdue.

Picchiotti Tigress Mk2

Built: 1982 Price: £84,950

Recommended videos for you

The Picchiotti shipyard in Italy originally built commercial and military vessels before branching out into leisure boats. The original Picchiotti Tigress was launched in the 1970s and was designed to offer the best of British offshore seaworthiness and Italian style.

The yard commissioned Commander Peter Thorneycroft, designer of the Nelson range of boats, to come up with a semi-displacement hull that majored on seakeeping. What it didn’t major on was space, which is why in 1982 the beamier Tigress MK2 was born.

An aft cabin layout plus that extra beam creates spacious accommodation the full length of the vessel. The owner’s cabin is aft and stretches the full beam of the boat due to the en suite heads being positioned just forward of it. The saloon is a decent size despite having the lower helm forward to port.

On the lower deck forward, there’s a well proportioned galley, the day heads and two guest cabins, a vee-berth cabin and a further cabin with split level berths positioned at 90 degrees to one another.

The forward vee-berth is one of three double cabins below decks

Despite being 40 years old next year, this is still a purposeful-looking boat. The exterior helm is situated on the aft deck rather than having a flybridge , which keeps the height down.

Indeed the radar arch is also hinged to lower air draught, making the boat surprisingly useful for inland waterways.

Performance

Sabre Tooth 1 is a great name for a Tigress, especially one fitted with a pair of Sabre 320hp engines. We tested one of the first boats back in 1983, recording 23.5 knots flat out and a pretty comfortable 20 knot cruise.

best-boats-under-50ft-picchiotti-tigress-interior

The saloon’s sense of space is not impeded by the position of the lower helm

There is more than a hint of the Nelson stable in the hull form, with a fine entry and a lot of flare to the topsides.

A knuckle runs the full length of the boat in a bid to reduce spray, but there’s no getting way from the fact that semi-displacement hulls power through big waves rather than surfing over them, displacing plenty of water in the process. However, ultimately the pilot boat ancestry shines through – the Tigress is a great sea boat.

Picchiotti Tigress Mk2 specifications

LOA: 45ft 9in (13.7m) Beam: 13ft 9in (4.2m) Draught: 3ft 9in (1.2m) Displacement: 16.5 tonnes Fuel capacity: 1,680 litres Engines: Twin Sabre 320hp diesels Location: Shepperton Contact: Boat Showrooms

Broom 450 yacht tour: There’s nothing quite like an aft cabin layout

President 485 yacht tour: this 90s classic offers whole lot of boat for your money, aquastar 48.

Built: 2005 Price: £295,000

There are a few similarities with the Picchiotti Tigress, most notably in the heavy-weather semi-displacement hull and in the fact that the beam was stretched beyond that typical for this size and style of boat.

Also like Picchiotti, Aquastar has commercial roots, building heavy weather boats for pilots, customs and harbour masters, evident in the chunky D-section rubber fendering around the gunwales.

There’s a heft and solidity to the polished cherry woodwork that marks Aquastar out as a British builder (the boats were built in Guernsey in the Channel Islands ). A rather lovely, slightly spiralled staircase leads you down into the saloon.

Head aft and you’ll drop down to a lower deck owner’s cabin, the size and square shape of which feels more like a bedroom.

Head forward and you’ll discover a dinette opposite the galley instead of a third cabin, although the table drops and this area curtains off to create occasional sleeping if required. The day heads is here too, and a fore cabin with cross-over vee berths.

aquastar-48-interior-cabin

The solid cherry wood interior demonstrates British craftsmanship at its best

Perhaps the most noticeable aspect of the exterior is the ease of boarding amidships – it’s one single step up onto the side decks, and not a particularly high one at that!

From here it’s an easy stroll to the bow, or head aft where three steps lift you to the aft deck. It’s surprisingly sheltered, with a large hard top from which canopies hang. Three more steps lift you to the flybridge over the saloon, again well sheltered by high sides.

A pair of Volvo Penta TAMD 75P diesels producing nearly 1,000hp between them lift the top speed past 20 knots, but the semi-displacement hull means that a happy cruising speed can be anything from 5 knots to 15 knots.

aquastar-48-interior

Access to the saloon from the aft deck is via an elegant curved staircase

Aquastar offered a 48S variant which had the hard top and fin stabilisers. This boat came with the hard top, and stabilisers have been added.

Again, the ride can get wet when it’s rough, but this is a confident performer, having commuted several times from the UK to the Med, straight across the Bay of Biscay.

Aquastar 48 specifications

LOA: 48ft (14.6m) Beam: 14ft 9in (4.5m) Draught: 3ft 11in (1.2m) Displacement: 15.5 tonnes Fuel capacity: 2,200 litres Engines: Twin Volvo Penta TAMD 75P 480hp diesel engines Location: Lymington Contact: Berthon

best-boats-under-50ft-Sealine-f46-exterior

Sealine F46

Built: 2010 Price: £279,950

All of the boats featured have aft cabins in order to maximise interior volume – except one. The Sealine F46 launched in 2009 and replaced the Sealine T47. And despite being an aft cockpit layout, the space inside is vast.

Huge wrap-around windscreens with slim mullions and large side windows exaggerate the feeling of space as you step inside the Sealine F46, but it’s not an illusion, there is masses of space in here.

And it’s the same story on the lower deck. Those huge windscreens create an atrium feel to the galley and dinette that greet you as you step down to this level. A third cabin was an option, but most buyers opted for the dinette.

Sealine split off the day heads and shower – one to port and the other to starboard as you head forward – and there’s a decent double berth in the fore cabin.

Further space has been eked out aft of the galley, where a full beam owner’s cabin, complete with en suite, occupy the space below the saloon. Headroom is a little compromised in places, but there’s no shortage of footprint.

Sealine-f46-interior-cabin

The full beam owner’s cabin was a bit of a revelation on a boat this size, made possible by pod drives

Outside, wide side decks, a generous cockpit and a large flybridge that reaches full beam to the transom ensure that there’s no shortage of space here either.

All F46s were fitted with twin CMD QSB5.9 diesel engines producing 480hp each, and all got Zeus pod drives, which link via a joystick to give ‘cheat’ levels of close-quarter handling (in part, it’s the pods that create so much space as they allow the engines to live beneath the cockpit floor).

Top speed in perfect conditions is about 30 knots, so figure on an easy 22-knot cruise, although it’s possible to drop this down to 15 knots and still stay on the plane.

Sealine-f46-interior

Huge windows surround the saloon and throw light into the lower galley and dinette

It’s no sports boat, but those pod drives imbue the F46 with direct and positive steering, and 15 tonnes of displacement combined with the ability to plane at comparatively low speeds mean that the F46 is more than capable of punching gently through even the most challenging conditions.

Sealine F46 specifications

LOA: 48ft 2in (14.7m) Beam: 14ft 8in (4.5m) Draught: 4ft 0in (1.2m) Displacement: 15.5 tonnes Fuel capacity: 1,500 litres Engines: Twin Cummins CMD QSB5.9 480hp diesel engines Location: Essex Contact: Boats.co.uk

best-boats-under-50ft-broom-44-exterior

Built: 1993 Price: £139,950

Arguably the oldest builder of boats in the UK, Broom dates back to 1898, when Charles John Broom began building sailing cruisers at the yard in Brundall on the Norfolk Broads and carried on building motor boats here until production finally ceased a couple of years ago. The Broom hire fleet still operates, and dates back to 1912.

What Broom became renowned for was aft cabin cruisers. Boats like the Broom Crown date back to the 1970s so by the time this 44 came along in the early 1990s, it’s fair to say that the company had the hang of it, not to mention a reputation for solid high-quality craftsmanship evident in the boat you see before you.

With the helm on the aft deck, the saloon is a no-compromise zone of plentiful seating divided into lounging and dining areas. The galley features a full-sized washing machine and is opposite cabin three, with its bunk beds. Vee berths make the most of a large forward cabin, but as ever, it’s the aft cabin that steals the show – a true bedroom away from home.

broom-44-interior-cabin

The very private and spacious aft cabin is as comfortable as any bedroom at home

Intriguingly, Broom offered the 44 with an enclosed pilothouse on the raised aft deck and a cockpit behind that. We give it top marks for weatherproofing, even if it is a little anti-social. Which is why most of these craft went out with the layout you see here – the entire aft deck is open beneath its retractable canopies, putting the helm in touch with everyone else on this deck.

Twin Volvo Penta TAMD 61 306hp or TAMD 71 380hp engines were available, but we tested the boat with a similar pair of 370hp Sabre 430L engines to this boat, which should make the 28 knots we achieved with full water and fuel tanks a realistic goal – subject to a few lost ponies over the years.

broom-44-interior

With the helm out of the way on the aft deck, the floorspace of the saloon is voluminous

“Surprisingly agile” was how we described the Broom 44, noting “full lock at full chat produces perfectly balanced turns and a three-boat- length turning circle”. Calm conditions prohibited a thorough test of the seakeeping abilities.

Broom 44 specifications

LOA: 44ft 8in (13.6m) Beam: 15ft 3in (4.6m) Draught: 4ft 0in (1.2m) Displacement: 21.5 tonnes Fuel capacity: 1,727 litres Engines: Twin Sabre 430L 370hp diesel engines Location: Penton Hook Contact: TBS Boats
