Lifestyle & Use

This is a modern, sophisticated vessel with all the comforts of your home. The large saloon area is perfect for entertaining, dining, and everyday living. Each of the cabins have exceptional ventilation and natural lighting from the forward facing hatches, queen sized beds, hanging closets and en-suite bathrooms. Each bathroom features its own shower, basin, vanity cabinet and electric toilet.

Unique Features

The St Francis 50 is made to cross oceans and can easily make passages averaging 200 plus nautical miles per day. She is easy to handle and its comfortable seating area gives you an almost perfect panorama of the outside. The additional buoyancy in the sterns allows for a bigger tender to be lifted and stored with the davit system.

Design & Build

The designer, Angelo Lavranos, has designed an excellent craft which construction and integrity as well as her seaworthiness has been endorsed by many sailors. This new design offers improved speed, reduced transom immersion and disturbance, better overall motion characteristics, better looks, and bigger platform space.

Prices & Process

The price for the St Francis 50 starts at US$ 1 230 000.00. Each St Francis is custom built with a vast choice of layouts, leather or fabric colours, countertop finishes, and wood grains. As would be expected the pricing of the vessel will be amended to reflect the final build specification agreed to between the boatyard & purchaser.
