Pegasus 50 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for a Pegasus 50 means understanding a boat that was launched in 2020 and built from the start as a short-handed bluewater cruiser with an inverted layout. Slovenia’s Pegasus Yachts produced her with all sleeping space forward and the cockpit, saloon, and galley given the greater share of volume, so the used examples you meet are a distinct breed among 50-foot monohulls.
Layouts on the Used Market
Owner three-cabin layouts are the more common on the used market, but both are available; ex-charter examples are common. The three-cabin arrangement gives a forward master with beds on tracks that join as a double or separate as twins, while the two-cabin version substitutes a full-beam central master with a large shower compartment. In every layout the accommodation sits forward of the saloon bulkhead, so unlike most cruisers there are no aft staterooms. The saloon itself hides a gimballing settee that pivots to ease motion, and a pilotberth lies to port. Headroom in the forward cabins runs around 6 ft 1 in, and the forward corridor sits low with tight openings while still offering roomy stowage.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
The standard boat already arrives heavily equipped, which shapes what you should look for. Power and energy are the headline: a generator, lithium batteries, and solar are commonly fitted, with a watermaker and inverter also standard-level equipment on most boats. Many carry a bow thruster and electric winches as well. For canvas and sail handling, a hardtop and bimini are common, with a cockpit shower and swim platform; some boats have a furling main or a self-tacking jib as an often-seen rig refinement. Navigation is covered by a commonly fitted chartplotter, radar, AIS, and autopilot. Comfort items commonly seen include air conditioning, a freezer, and hot water, with heating and a washing machine often present. A dinghy davits setup is often seen for those who cruise with a tender.
What to Inspect
The known construction detail worth checking is the composite build with Vinylester hull and PVC core, where the outer skin is glass over carbon structure; survey any repaired impact carefully given the mixed layup. The garage is separated from the technical lockers by a watertight bulkhead, so verify that bulkhead’s integrity on any boat that has launched a dinghy repeatedly. Confirm the offset companionway door safety lock functions, as it is specified for heeled sailing. The cockpit lockers hold electrics to starboard and plumbing to port; check for past water ingress at that division.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
Typical markets for the Pegasus 50 are Türkiye, United States, and Italy. For a shopper, the checklist is straightforward: confirm which cabin layout is aboard and whether it was an ex-charter hull; verify the generator, lithium bank, watermaker, and solar are operational; inspect the watertight garage bulkhead and companionway lock; and check the mixed-skin hull for any repaired damage. She is a complete, short-handed ocean cruiser whose used value lies in that completeness rather than in cavernous aft cabins.
