The Aiata Wayfinder 50 is the cabin-focused sibling of the brand’s 50-foot platform: a 15.35-metre fast cruiser built in Turkey by Anadolu Motor that trades some of the open Sunfinder’s sunbathing real estate for a more sheltered, weekend-ready layout. It shares the same beamy 4-metre hull, the same distinctive high-flared bow and the same triple-outboard power – three 400 hp engines for a 28-knot cruise and a 40-50 knot maximum – but wraps the helm and saloon in protection that makes longer days and cooler shoulder-season cruising far more civilised.
Aiata positions the Wayfinder line around genuine adventure cruising, and the 50 is its largest expression. The main deck still offers a large social cockpit and bow seating, but the Wayfinder adds a more enclosed forward structure, and two interior layouts are offered below: two cabins with a single head and galley, or two cabins with two heads. With accommodation for a small family or couple overnighting and day capacity of twelve to sixteen guests, it bridges the gap between a pure day boat and a compact express cruiser.
Like the rest of the range the hull is vacuum-infused and engineered with finite-element analysis, finished with a vinyl-ester hard coat against osmosis, and fitted with high 70-90 cm bulwarks for safety. Tankage runs to 1,600 litres of fuel, 360 litres of fresh water and a 193-litre black-water tank. Unveiled publicly at the 2026 Cannes Yachting Festival, the Wayfinder 50 is a modern, flexible large outboard cruiser aimed at owners who want the Sunfinder 50’s speed and sea-keeping with a touch more shelter and overnight usability.

She carries the Sunfinder’s pace, with none of the exposure.
Built on the same platform as the open Sunfinder 50, the Wayfinder 50 keeps the same triple outboard layout, offered with Mercury’s V10 Verado or Yamaha’s XTO 425, for a 28 knot cruise and a top speed close to 50 knots. What changes is how that speed feels. An enclosed helm and saloon take the wind and spray out of the equation, so the same stepped hull and flared bow that make the Sunfinder lively at speed make the Wayfinder genuinely comfortable over distance. A 1,600 litre fuel tank and a shallow 0.84 metre draught carry over unchanged, giving her the range and access of her open sister with none of her exposure.
The challenge was adding shelter without losing the view.
Jarkko Jämsén of Navia Design, who drew the open Sunfinder before her, faced a harder brief here: enclose the platform without losing the sense of space that makes the family distinctive. His solution keeps the aircraft carrier bow flare and the wide, forward carried beam of the Sunfinder, but adds a protected forward structure around the helm and saloon. The result reads as a single family rather than two unrelated boats. Large glazing keeps the connection to the water that an open boat takes for granted, while the enclosed sections sit low and taut against the hull rather than bulking up the profile.
Two cabins, and a choice that depends on how she will be used.
Below deck, owners pick between two configurations. The first pairs two cabins with a single head and a separate shower, plus a galley that gives genuine self sufficiency on longer stays, the more balanced choice for a family cruising together. The second removes the galley in favour of a second head, so each cabin has its own bathroom, a layout that favours two couples sharing the boat and wanting real privacy from each other. Both arrangements sleep up to four, and both keep the same forward and amidships cabin positions established on the Sunfinder, so the choice comes down to how the Wayfinder 50 will actually be used rather than any compromise in comfort.
Protection is what turns a day boat into a cruiser.
With 1,600 litres of fuel carried over from the Sunfinder platform and a 28 knot cruising speed, the Wayfinder 50 is built to cover genuine distance rather than simply loiter offshore. The enclosed helm and saloon are what make that distance comfortable: shelter from wind and spray extends the usable season into cooler months and makes a multi hour passage, rather than a short hop, a realistic proposition. Aiata positions the Wayfinder line squarely around this kind of adventure cruising, and the 50 is its largest and most capable expression yet, built to bridge the gap between a pure day boat and a proper overnighter.
A flagship built on a platform that already works.
The Wayfinder 50 inherits the Sunfinder’s vacuum infused, finite element analysed hull and its vinyl ester hard coat against osmosis, along with a 360 litre fresh water tank and a 193 litre black water tank, specification that supports her longer stay ambitions. Built by Anadolu Motor in Turkey and shown publicly for the first time at the 2026 Cannes Yachting Festival, she arrives as the most complete model yet in a young range that already spans open and enclosed 38 and 50 foot platforms. For an owner who wants the performance of a large outboard day boat without sacrificing weather protection, she is a considered and well specified choice.
