Seven cabins on a fifty metre yacht is a layout built for numbers rather than volume. Most of the fleet at this size stops at five or six cabins and gives the space back to the saloon. These seven do the opposite, and two of them sleep fourteen and sixteen, which makes them unusual in a market where twelve is the ceiling while cruising.
Seven yachts sit in this bracket, between forty seven and fifty four metres. Feadship, Benetti, CRN, Delta Marine and Golden Yachts account for five of them, alongside a 1982 Husumer Shipyard conversion and a 2025 traditional Phinisi. The spread of build years, from 1982 to 2025, is wider here than anywhere else in the fifty metre fleet, and the interiors vary accordingly.
Weekly rates run from ninety five thousand euros to two hundred and forty five thousand, with the median at one hundred and eighty thousand. That is well below what a six cabin fifty metre commands, because age rather than layout sets the price in this group. An advance provisioning allowance of roughly thirty percent covers fuel, food, berthing and drinks.
Seven cabins suits two or three families travelling together, and the cruising follows that. The Greek islands and the Turkish coast reward a group that wants its own space between dinners, with short hops between Mykonos, Paros and the Dodecanese. The Phinisi in this group works Indonesia and Raja Ampat instead. From December the motor yachts move to the Caribbean. Send us your dates.
