A Classic Beneteau 50 with a Modern Twist

Introducing KRISTO a one of a kind Custom Beneteau Cyclades 50. Fully rebuilt by the renowned Tony Hambrook, owner of Alloy Yachts. Refurbished in 2014 to the highest standard. Extremely well-equipped for both offshore voyaging and relaxed coastal cruising, KRISTO is a Beneteau 50 with a remarkable difference.

Think of her as a movable beach cottage. Her interior has been completely reimagined, with virtually none of the original Beneteau finishes remaining. The redesign showcases limed and waxed oak veneers, Formica surfaces, and matching painted details, creating a bright, timeless aesthetic. The Schotten & Hansen stained-oak soles lend a warm, natural feel. 

On deck, KRISTO’s large, flowing cockpit is designed for effortless living under sail or at anchor. Twin helms provide excellent visibility and easy access forward or aft, while the wide transom and integrated swim platform make water access simple, perfect for swimming, paddleboards, or tender operations. The space easily transitions from serious passagemaking to relaxed entertaining, with ample seating and protection from the elements. 

KRISTO is equipped for easy, efficient handling: the Leisure Furling mainsail, furling genoa, and all control lines led back to the cockpit make single- or double-handed sailing straightforward. The bow thruster provides precise manoeuvrability in tight harbours, while her deck layout allows all sail adjustments to be made safely and conveniently from the helm. 

Presented in excellent condition, KRISTO’ s custom craftsmanship and thoughtful upgrades make her a standout among her peers. She’s a true one-off Beneteau — distinctive, beautifully finished, and ready to go wherever adventure calls.
