Goldfish Ocean 50 G-Force 9

Summary

Full Carbon construction is not a common construction but has the benefit of massive weight saving on a 50 foot boat. This stunning design from Goldfish was so ahead of its time and laid down a goal that no other manufacture has matched. The power to weight ratio and hull design makes for breathtaking acceleration and top speeds of up to 90 Knots. The practical hard-wearing cockpit and minimalistic interior make for an easy boat to use and live with. Be it a day boat or even some overnight stops. Her stunning looks will turn heads wherever you go which in a world of bland generic plastic boats is a welcome tonic. Those generic plastic boats come with a low performance and a high price in today’s world which I think makes this Goldfish 50 incredible value.

Accommodation

Open plan minimalistic interior designed for practicality and to reduce the weight of the boat. Three areas made up of a double bed in the bow, saloon area in the middle where the heads is also located and giving standing head room and aft a midships double bed. Access is easy thanks to a large sliding Perspex door and custom solid teak floating steps.

Each section is divided/screened using Carbon sail cloth giving privacy in all three areas and yet adding no weight. Each screen can be folded back to give a totally open feel when required.

Each area is fitted with solid Teak joinery, either creating shelves, fiddles or small storage trays. Larger wardrobe style storage is made from more carbon sail cloth with shelves and zip up fronts.

The heads centrally located has an electric freshwater flush toilet and separate stainless wash basin and space to store wash kit.
