Introduction: Get Familiar with the Cruisers Yachts 50 Cantius

The Cruisers Yachts 50 Cantius has made a name for itself as a model that combines comfort, usability, and well-thought-out features for those who love being on the water. Whether you enjoy quick weekend getaways, longer journeys, or sharing experiences with friends and family, the 50 Cantius is built to help you create those moments. The vessel prioritizes simplicity, dedicated social spaces, and private areas to give everybody on board a place to enjoy. You won’t find complicated designs or spaces that feel cramped. Instead, you get areas that are open, bright, and welcoming.

When you first step aboard, it’s clear that every room, walkway, and system was planned with user-friendly access and comfort in mind. More than just a means to get from place to place, the 50 Cantius serves as a floating home base for fun, discovery, and time spent together. The design is straightforward, using quality materials and modern equipment so you can focus on relaxing and enjoying your time out rather than worrying about upkeep or complicated controls. Now, let’s walk through each part of this boat in even more detail, showing you everything you need to know to decide if the 50 Cantius matches your lifestyle.

The Outside: First Impressions and Lasting Quality

Hull, Structure, and Protective Materials

The hull of the 50 Cantius is laid up with fiberglass construction, known for its toughness and resistance to wear from water and sun. This means minimal worry about maintenance like repainting or dealing with rust. The hull itself is designed for stability, with a beam (width) of about 15 feet, which helps with smooth handling even in choppier waters. Stainless steel is used on every handrail, cleat, and mounting bracket. These fittings don’t just look nice—they keep their strength and shine for years and make tying up and moving around safer for everyone.

For those who walk around the decks, non-skid surfaces prevent slipping, even when the floor is wet. The side decks are wide and free of tight choke points, which makes getting from the aft deck up to the bow feel natural, not risky. On the bow, you’ll discover a full sun-pad area with secure bolsters. There’s also a locker for anchor chain and line, fitted with an electric windlass for easy anchor deployment and retrieval, saving you from heavy lifting. Integrated deck drains and scuppers funnel away rainwater or splashes. Recessed LED lighting lines the walkways for better visibility at night.

• Fiberglass hull: light but very tough, low maintenance
• 15’ beam improves steadiness under way and at anchor
• Stainless fittings throughout: handrails, cleats, brackets, and hinges
• Wide, safe, non-skid walkways all around
• Built-in anchor windlass and bow storage

Swim Platform and Boarding Features

One of the most noted features is the hydraulically powered swim platform. It’s wide and rated for loads up to 1,000 lbs. This makes it practical for launching and retrieving jet skis, inflatables, and even swimming or sitting at the water’s edge. Steps fold out automatically when you lower the platform so swimmers can get back aboard easily. The platform includes freshwater sprayers for a quick rinse-off, and stereo speakers let music reach even those in the water. Beneath the transom seat is a big storage garage for stowing fenders, hoses, sports gear, and folding chairs, with easy-to-open hatches. A transom gate on the starboard side increases safety, keeping kids and pets from falling off the edge.

• Hydraulic platform drops straight into the water
• Integrated fold-out swim steps
• Freshwater shower right by the platform
• Rear storage garage for gear, roll-out bins
• Safety gate on transom

The Cockpit: Central Gathering Place

Seating, Furniture, and Layout Options

The cockpit is where guests often gather first. Its U-shaped seating is arranged to give everyone a good view while making it easy to talk and pass food or drinks. The table is sturdy teak and folds out to seat six adults. Thick cushions on every seat remain comfortable even for longer meals or games. The cockpit design allows for rearranging furniture to create more space or a tighter group, depending on your needs. There are built-in lockers and a trash receptacle at arm’s reach, so odds and ends don’t get left out.

• U-shaped lots of seating, with thick cushions and backing
• Folding, adjustable teak table for meals or games
• Built-in cooler well
• Multiple storage lockers for safety and order
• Convertible layout for parties or private relaxation

Entertainment and Outdoor Kitchen

A cockpit wet bar means all the refreshments and snacks are within reach. It’s fully equipped with a Kenyon electric grill that flips up, a deep stainless-steel sink with cover, a fridge, and under-counter storage for utensils and snack plates. The counter behind the transom doubles as a buffet serving area. Remote volume and playback controls for the boat’s music system and LED overhead lights keep the mood right, day or night. For hot days, a retractable sunshade covers the cockpit in seconds, operated with the push of a button. Cup holders are built into the armrests and table, keeping drinks secure when the boat is moving.

• Kenyon electric grill plus wet bar sink
• Built-in outdoor fridge/freezer drawer
• Push-button sunshade for full cockpit
• Buffet counter and trash bins built-in
• Stereo speaker zone with remote controls

Main Salon: Designed for Fun and Function

Easy Flow, Great Visibility, and Smart Furnishings

The salon connects to the cockpit through a sliding glass door, making it simple to move between indoor and outdoor spaces. Panoramic windows, running from the front all the way to the aft, allow in plenty of light and let you see what’s happening all around you. The L-shaped sofa sits several people for conversations, and a matching love seat extends seating capacity. A table in the middle can be set at various heights—coffee-table or full dining mode. The salon is set up with group gatherings in mind: easy movement, lots of visibility, and places to put snacks, drinks, or remotes.

Real wood finishes run throughout the salon, on both vertical surfaces and the floor. The attention to detail in the trim, color-matched window surrounds, and cabinets help the whole area feel polished but still inviting. Accent lighting along the floor, under the sofa, and behind cornices lets you choose anything from soft glow to bright overhead light. There’s a large LG smart TV on an electric lift that stores away when not in use. The salon is fitted with climate controls, so you can keep it cool with air conditioning or warm in chillier weather.

• Sliding glass doors for indoor-outdoor flow
• L-shaped sofa plus love seat and multiple stools
• Height-adjustable table for snacks or meals
• Real wood floors and trim
• Floor, overhead, and accent lighting for any atmosphere

Technology, Connectivity, and Storage

Onboard Wi-Fi covers all areas of the boat, supported by antenna and cellular boosters for better connectivity, even when away from the marina. Each seating area has USB and standard outlets for devices. An iPad-based control system lets you change lighting, temperature, and sound zones without getting up. Storage cabinets and drawers all use soft-close hardware for peace and quiet, and there are overhead bins for extra throw blankets, games, or books that keep the clutter off the tables and seats.

• Whole-boat Wi-Fi, booster antenna, and 4G/5G options
• Multiple device charging stations
• Integrated controls for lights/sound/hvac
• Soft-close storage at every seat
• Overhead storage bins and cabinets

The Galley: Usable Kitchen for Longer Stays

Layout, Counter Space, and Appliances

The galley is positioned starboard, open to the salon, so whoever is preparing food or drinks is always part of the social scene. Large Corian countertops run the length of the space, providing plenty of prep area. There’s a full-size upright refrigerator/freezer on the back wall, so you can keep enough food for a week on board. Cooking is managed by a two-burner induction cooktop, and a convection microwave completes the appliance package. The deep stainless-steel sink fits larger dishes and has a cover to increase counter space when not in use. The window next to the sink slides open so food and drinks can be passed straight outside—a huge plus for outdoor dining or serving on the move.

Drawers beneath the counter run on full-extension, soft-close tracks, and cabinets above are fitted for plates, glasses, coffee pods, and more. There are custom trays for utensils and serving pieces, and bins for trash and recyclables slide out from under the counter. The backsplash is made of easy-clean, marine-safe tile.

• Corian countertop and easy-clean tile backsplash
• Full-size fridge/freezer and pantry
• Two-burner induction cooktop and convection microwave
• Huge stainless sink with faucet cover
• Pass-through window to cockpit

Organization and Special Galley Features

One of the most overlooked, but practical, design details of the 50 Cantius is the unlimited galley storage. Slide-out racks for spices and jars, divided drawers for flatware and knives, a fitted breadbox, and deep cabinet space for pots, pans, and small appliances make this space function more like a family kitchen than an afterthought. Even the trash and recycling bins are properly contained, so odors and unsightly bags stay tucked away.

• Slide-out galley pantry
• Custom cutlery, breadbox, and wine storage
• Fitted shelves for glasses and mugs
• Soft-close drawers
• Covered bins for trash and recycling

Helm Station: Confidence in Everyday Use

Practical, Intuitive Controls

Located forward in the salon, the helm is raised slightly to maximize all-around visibility. The captain’s seat is double-width, adjustable, and has a bolster that flips up for standing. The dashboard is laid out with clarity: two high-resolution 16-inch Garmin touchscreen displays sync to engine systems, navigation, radar, fishfinder, and depth sounder. All critical controls, from the bow and stern thruster joystick to trim tabs, windshield wipers, and nav lights are within easy reach and clearly labeled.

The joystick docking system allows the boat to move sideways, spin in place, and dock with much less effort than traditional controls. With both thrusters, tight spaces in marinas are much less intimidating. There’s a leather-covered wheel for grip, footrests for comfort, and cabinetry beneath for personal items like jackets, hats, binoculars, or hand-held radios. A windscreen wiper/washer system, defog vent, and an electric sunshade round out the experience at the helm.

• Wide, adjustable captain’s seat with flip-up bolster
• Dual 16-inch digital touchscreen displays with full charting
• Joystick docking system and thrusters
• All controls clear, labeled, and within reach
• Helm storage for navigation tools and personal items

Climate, Comfort, and Crew Communication

The forward salon area where the helm is located is kept at a comfortable temperature via a dedicated air conditioning/heat zone and an opening sunroof that brings in fresh air quickly. A powerful defogger keeps the glass clear in foul weather. The helm’s position, central in the salon, means it’s easy to talk to family or friends during travel without shouting.

• Dedicated climate control in helm area
• Opening roof and windshield vent for air
• Sound-quieted engine and helm area
• Large clear windshield for no-blind-spot viewing

Lower Deck Accommodations: Real-Life Living Spaces

Owner’s Stateroom: True Privacy and Comfort

Taking up the full width of the boat amidships, the owner’s suite is quiet, private, and spacious. The queen island bed is accessible from both sides—no crawling over your partner to get up. Hullside windows with opening portlights bring in plenty of daylight and water views. On one side of the room, a long settee provides a space for reading, relaxing, or even storage beneath. Nightstands on both sides of the bed have USB and standard outlets built in.

A large cedar-lined closet gives you a place to hang clothes wrinkle-free, while under-bed drawers add room for seasonal outfits or bags. There are fitted cubbies for shoes and hats. The private ensuite bathroom includes a glass-doored shower with teak seat, a vanity with medicine chest, towel storage, and an electric flush toilet. Mirror, lighting, and counter space rival most home bathrooms.

Large deck hatches and side windows keep the space bright, with blackout shades for sleep. The second bathroom, accessible both from the hallway and this cabin, offers a separate shower stall, sink, and toilet. Extra drawers hold linens, towels, and suitcases. The second guest cabin is perfect for kids, visitors, or a quiet office.

Bedding is sized for marine beds (slightly different than standard home mattresses) and the linens are made for durability and simple care. Under-bed lighting, reading lights, and motion-activated kickplate lights make it easy to get up at night safely. Each stateroom also has a TV, multiple outlets, and extra sound insulation.

• Separate climate zone in each stateroom
• Reading, accent, and motion lighting

Bathrooms (Heads): Designed for Daily Routines

The 50 Cantius comes with two full bathrooms (heads), each with a real, glass-doored shower you can stand up in—no wrestling with fabric curtains. Showers have built-in shelves for soap and razor, and seating for washing feet or resting. Vanities use solid-surface counters, real sinks, built-in medicine cabinets, and mirrored doors. Storage trays and towel racks are provided for everyone’s toiletries. Electric flush heads use fresh water for minimal odor and easy maintenance. Exhaust fans and opening portlights keep moisture down. Flooring in heads is waterproof and slip-resistant, so stepping in and out after a shower doesn’t cause worry. There are also extra hooks for towels and robes in both heads.

• Full vanity and mirrored medicine cabinet
• Electric freshwater toilets
• Towel racks, hooks, and shelves

Storage: Hidden and Useful in Every Area

You don’t need to pack light or leave your hobbies behind. Nearly every nook of the 50 Cantius is usable storage. In the cockpit, hatches under seats lift for access to bins sized for lines, water hoses, and fishing gear. The salon has built-in drawers for games, spare candles, or books, and a discrete storage chest doubles as a coffee table. The galley fits bins and racks for food and kitchen gadgets. The owner’s suite uses every bit of space under the bed and settee for off-season clothes and extra bedding. In the forward guest stateroom, storage trays and bins are mounted for flexible use and easy out-of-sight organization. Large equipment—like paddles, rods, or portable grills—fits in transom lockers or the swim platform compartment. Even bathrooms include stowage for toiletries, towels, and soaps. This means a less cluttered boat and a safer, more comfortable experience for everyone.

Deck and Bow Features: Relax, Play, and Focus on the View

The bow sun pad can fit up to three adults, with multiple adjustable headrests and foldup arm rests. There are cupholders, built-in speakers for your favorite music, and handrails running the length of the sun pad for everyone’s safety. Directly forward of the pad is the anchor windlass locker and storage space for docklines or extra fenders. Deck cleats are pull-up style, staying flush when you don’t need them. Walking up to the bow is simple thanks to wide sidedecks and extra-high stainless rails. The bow area is also shaded with a snap-on awning system, perfect for keeping cool on sunny days or reading on deck.

Mechanical Equipment: Powerful and Easy to Use

Twin Volvo IPS Engines and Handling Equipment

The boat is powered by twin Volvo Penta IPS diesel engines that are designed to be efficient and simple. When at the helm, joystick maneuvering and digital throttle make moving, docking, and turning the boat a job for almost anyone—even those without years of driving experience. This system allows sideways movement, spinning in place, and slow, careful approaches to docks. Both bow and stern thrusters make tight spots manageable and take anxiety out of handling in busy marinas. Routine maintenance points are available from convenient access hatches, with filters, fill points, and electrical panels clearly labeled.

• Twin Volvo IPS engines for smooth travel and joystick operation
• Bow and stern thrusters for sideways and rotational movement
• Digital throttle and shift controls for accuracy
• Convenient maintenance access for filters, oil, and electrical boards
• Automatic engine-room fire suppression for safety

Generator, Inverter, and Power Management

A 15kW diesel generator is standard for running all onboard systems when away from shore power: air conditioning, TV, stove, fridge, and lights work even when anchored. Multiple batteries and an inverter system smooth the power so sensitive electronics stay safe. Shore power connections are at the aft cockpit and marked for clarity. Automatic battery chargers and selector switches keep power management from being a hassle, giving you more time to relax.

• 15kW generator for off-grid use
• Multiple battery banks for engine and house systems
• Inverter/charger for smooth, reliable power

The salon sunroof opens fully for breezes, and windows in every stateroom can be opened or covered with blackout shades. Vinyl plank floors are soft under bare feet and resist dirt or scuffs, even with sandy shoes. Blinds on all side windows let you control sunlight and privacy. The cockpit and bow come with quick-deploy sunshades that store under seats when not needed. For nights onboard, LED lighting in floors, steps, and walkways keeps everything visible without harsh glare.

The Wi-Fi system and antenna boosters make it possible to work or stream movies even out of town.

There’s a folding ladder for swimmers and a shower for quick rinsing. The cockpit and bow areas work as sun decks, play areas, or shaded reading spots. There’s plenty of storage for towable tubes, snorkel sets, and games. When you’re anchored in a quiet cove, the wide open deck, adjustable lighting, and sound system make every evening comfortable and fun. Safety gear for water sports—such as life jackets, rescue rings, or throw ropes—is stored in marked, quick-access lockers.

Entertaining: Room for Friends and Special Occasions

The design of the 50 Cantius favors both casual hangouts and more formal gatherings. The salon and cockpit can each seat several people, and outdoor spaces are shaded when needed. There’s enough room for buffet-style food, coolers, or even board games at the fold-out tables. Lighting and sound can be set for any mood, from lively parties to quiet sunset chats. The galley’s proximity to the outdoor grill and the serving window means you won’t need to run back and forth, making hosting simple.

Fresh water tanks and waste systems are sized for multi-night use, and the refrigerator/freezer and pantry can handle a week’s groceries. Laundry is made easy with a combo washer/dryer. Extra fuel storage means you can stretch your range or stay away from marinas longer. Every space is insulated and ventilated, so nobody needs to endure stuffy air or noisy equipment. Systems are monitored from an easy-access panel in the salon, alerting you if anything needs attention.

There are fixed fire extinguishers at every major point, and the engine bay comes with a built-in fire suppression system. CO and smoke detectors are fitted in the salon and all sleeping spaces. Bilge pumps are automatic and equipped with high-water alarms. For night safety, deck and floor-level lights prevent trips and stumbles. The access gates and secure railings keep pets and small children safe. Major controls are designed with redundancy—two pumps instead of one, manual backups if a system fails—to give everyone peace of mind.

• Handrails, non-skid floors, and safety gates
• Fixed and portable fire extinguishers, plus suppression system
• CO, smoke, and high-water alarms

Storage, Maintenance, and Daily Life

Every space is planned for easy access: filters, water pumps, and electrical circuit boards are mounted in labeled, reachable spots. This means less time cleaning or troubleshooting and more time enjoying the water. All exterior seating materials are marine-grade, resisting UV rays and rain. Drainage systems in lockers and deck areas help everything dry out after use. Galley appliances are mounted for quick removal if service is needed. Touch-up kits and cleaning tools are included and stowed in marked bins. Trash and recycling have their own spaces under the galley counter, accessible but hidden from view. The boat’s on-screen maintenance reminders help keep you on top of regular checks with little effort.

• Labelled access points for all engine and utility systems
• Marine-rated, weather-resistant exterior fabrics and covers
