1999 Beneteau 50' "Chubby Bunny"

Well-equipped and proven liveaboard, this 1999 Beneteau Oceanis 50 offers a rare combination of space, performance, and functionality. Designed by Bruce Farr and featuring the desirable tall triple-spreader rig, this vessel is equally suited for coastal cruising, extended stays aboard, or accommodating family and guests in comfort.

We have lived aboard full-time from 2020 to 2026, and the boat is set up for immediate use in the Pacific Northwest with systems and features that support year-round cruising.
