Sunfinder 50 For Sale

The Aiata Sunfinder 50 is a 15.35-metre open-air day cruiser that scales the Turkish builder’s modular philosophy up to a genuine flagship. Built by Anadolu Motor, it pairs an aggressive, high-flared bow – the detail that earned it its ‘aircraft-carrier flare’ nickname in the press – with an exceptionally beamy, wide-open main deck designed to carry twelve to sixteen guests in comfort. Three outboard engines, typically arranged as a trio of 400 hp units, drive the planing hull to a 28-knot cruise and a 40-50 knot top end, while a 1,600-litre fuel tank gives the legs for long coastal passages and unhurried island-hopping.

The Sunfinder 50 is the open, ‘suntop’ interpretation of the 50-foot platform. The entire main deck is given over to outdoor living: deep sun pads, a large and sociable aft cockpit framed by fold-down bulwarks that open the beam right out over the water, and a generous bow lounge. High 70-90 cm bulwarks keep the layout safe underway despite the openness. Below deck, owners choose between two configurations – two cabins with two heads, or two cabins with a single head and a dedicated galley module – with berths for up to five, so the boat doubles as a comfortable short-stay weekender as well as a day boat.

Construction is thoroughly modern. The hull is vacuum-infused and validated with finite-element analysis, then protected by a vinyl-ester hard coat to resist osmosis; fresh-water capacity is 360 litres and the black-water tank holds 193 litres. The result is a striking, well-engineered large day boat that competes directly with the premium Mediterranean walkaround and open-cruiser set, and makes a compelling statement for owners who prize deck space, speed and presence at anchor.
