Sweden Yachts 50 story

The Sweden 50 model is a beautiful, 50 foot Live- Aboard, Fast Cruiser with proven Offshore and Blue Water record, only 19 of these 50 foot hulls were produced 1989 to 1994, as the ultimate "Super Cruiser" as the builder described it, lavishly outfitted and built to last.

Sweden yachts has a rock solid reputation for sailing performance and build quality, built to Lloyds standards with EU approval. Rare to come to market at a tiny fraction of the new price of any 50 foot yacht today with no depreciation to worry about!

Our boat has been continually updated and subject to a HUGE refit 2022/3. She offers a kind motion and powerful sailing are rarely found combination as you can see in our Video here. She is a wonderful family boat.

Kept up to date, as this one truly is, SY50's retain values and provide timeless pride of ownership which wont be paralleled by production yachts in the market. We think our price offers a compelling option against much newer, smaller, weaker production boats, which are now 15 yeas old with original engine and sails.

In 2022, at the age of 35-years the big ticket items needed change-out and a full professional refit ashore was on the cards for us. Having enjoyed the revitalised boat now we are offering her to the market at a fraction of the new cost but with security of a recent nut and bolt professional refurbishment ashore which is captured in a survey report.

Adding a new lease of life to a great yacht, a Fully documented refit in the UK, Contractors completed a 18-month update and refurbishment from keel to mast tip under survey.
