The Beneteau Cyclades 50.4 is compared to other 50 footers, a big boat. The 16-foot beam translates to a terrific amount of space about twice the volume of more traditional 50-footers. This space leads to a level of comfort unsurpassed in its class. Five cabins make up the accommodations, with four double cabins, each with its own head and shower in the corners, and a single berth and head for crew/storage/workshop way forward, accessed though a foredeck hatch. Interior is fully air conditioned and standard is a diesel generator which adds to the comfort of this blue water cruiser The comfortable cockpit has easy access from the built-in swim platform due to the twin steering wheels. These twin helms also allow full forward views under sail. All lines lead aft for ease of handling.
