The result is a yacht featuring several optional interior layouts including additional staterooms and heads depending on an individual owner’s needs. ![De Antonio D50 Coupe main deck layout](/sites/default/files/De-Antonio-D50-Coupe-main-deck-layout-1-2-25_0.png) In this layout, the main deck is illustrated. As you can readily see, there are lots of spaces, from bow to stern, allotted to seating and entertainment. ![De Antonio D50 Coupe interior layout - one head, two cabins, and a living room](/sites/default/files/De-Antonio-D50-Coupe-interior-layout1-1-2-25.png) Here is the interior modular distribution option with one head, two cabins, and a living room. ![De Antonio D50 Coupe interior layout - two cabins, one head, and two staterooms](/sites/default/files/De-Antonio-D50-Coupe-interior-layout2-1-2-25.png) In this optional layout, there are two cabins, one head, and two staterooms. ![De Antonio D50 Coupe interior layout - two staterooms and two heads](/sites/default/files/De-Antonio-D50-Coupe-interior-layout3-1-2-25.png) The last option includes two staterooms and two heads.### Bow From her exciting and dramatic exterior lines, to her modifiable interior, the De Antonio D50 Coupe is all about entertaining. To that end, she presents spaces aboard suitable for both large and intimate gatherings. And it all starts forward, on the bow. ![De Antonio D50 Coupe deep wells on either side of the large sunpad](/sites/default/files/De-Antonio-D50-Coupe-sunpad-1-2-25.png) Deep wells, measuring 29”/73.6cm high, to either side of the large sunpad offer a safe and secure passage to and from the bow area. ![De Antonio D50 Coupe forward seat, wide walkways](/sites/default/files/De-Antonio-D50-Coupe-forward-seat-walkways-1-2-25.png) Seen looking aft, the forward seat, wide walkways, which measure 20”/50.8cm, and width of the sunpad can be seen. An electrically-operated canvas awning is available here as an option and deploys from hardtop. ![De Antonio D50 Coupe storage compartment](/sites/default/files/De-Antonio-D50-Coupe-storage-compartments-1-2-25.png) Given her profile as a cruising yacht, the De Antonio D50 Coupe is equipped with storage compartments throughout and that includes here, just forward of the sunpad, on the bow. The shade for the bow area is stowed here and with a pair of poles forward, and anchoring to the hardtop, allows for manual deployment. ![De Antonio D50 Coupe anchor locker](/sites/default/files/De-Antonio-D50-Coupe-anchor-locker-1-2-25.png) Fully forward is the anchor locker. An easy to lift hatch allows easy access to the windlass and rode. ![De Antonio D50 Coupe saltwater jacuzzi](/sites/default/files/De-Antonio-D50-Coupe-jacuzzi-1-2-25.png) One of those surprising engineering feats aboard the De Antonio D50 Coupe is found here on the bow. With the push of a button, the sunpad space, pictured here, is transformed into a saltwater jacuzzi. Easily filled and drained, after which the cushions are replaced, this is the kind of option unique to this yacht. Also note the optional hull and seating colors seen here. ![De Antonio D50 Coupe windshield](/sites/default/files/De-Antonio-D50-Coupe-windshield-1-2-25.png) Also part of the bow area is this one-piece windshield and extended brow, this to cut down on glare while running on a bright, sunny day.### Cockpit & Helm Cruising yachts need to have uncomplicated spaces to get around and go from place to place. With her forward wide walkways to either side, and open spaces to the helm and cockpit areas, the De Antonio D50 Coupe affords her owners and guests stress-free access to all parts of the yacht. ![De Antonio D50 Coupe carbon-fiber pole](/sites/default/files/De-Antonio-D50-Coupe-carbon-fiber-pole-1-2-25.png) Getting on and off the yacht from either side amidships is easily accomplished by simply lifting this black carbon-fiber pole up and out and using the gunwale as a step. Once back in place, the pole is once again a safety rail. Note the wide open spaces aft where access on and off is also located. ![De Antonio D50 Coupe dining tables and seating](/sites/default/files/De-Antonio-D50-Coupe-seating-dining-1-2-25.png) Once inside, you are greeted by a large open space featuring a pair of leafed dining tables capable of opening and forming one large table. Seating is to either side and aft. Note the extra-large opening in the hardtop. ![De Antonio D50 Coupe additional bench seating](/sites/default/files/De-Antonio-D50-Coupe-additional-seating-1-2-25.png) Additional seating is provided by these benches which fit into the main seating to either side. ![De Antonio D50 Coupe center cushion on the aft seat lifts up and provides easy access to the machinery space below](/sites/default/files/De-Antonio-D50-Coupe-aft-seat-cushion-lifts-machinery-access-1-2-25.jpg) The center cushion on the aft seat lifts up and provides easy access to the machinery space below. ![De Antonio D50 Coupe machinery](/sites/default/files/De-Antonio-D50-Coupe-machinery-1-2-25.jpg) Even with limited headroom, the space provides enough working room and ease of access to service the 7 kW Onan generator, AC components, hot water heater, fuel filters, battery management system, and other critical maintenance parts. ![De Antonio D50 Coupe starboard galley and port console](/sites/default/files/De-Antonio-D50-Coupe-starboard-galley-port-console-1-2-25.png) Back on deck and moving forward amidships is the starboard galley and port console, each with a refrigerator. The galley offers a cooktop, sink and storage. Note the wide walkway between the two and grabrails on each. ![De Antonio D50 Coupe helm seats](/sites/default/files/De-Antonio-D50-Coupe-helm-seats-1-2-25.png) Moving forward to the starboard helm are a pair of bolstered seats, one for the driver and the other for his/her co-pilot. ![De Antonio D50 Coupe bolstered seats](/sites/default/files/De-Antonio-D50-Coupe-bolstered-seats-1-2-25.png) Directly opposite to port are a pair of bolstered seats as well. ![De Antonio D50 Coupe sliding windows](/sites/default/files/De-Antonio-D50-Coupe-sliding-windows-1-2-25.png) Besides the large opening overhead, additional ventilation here is provided on both sides by these sliding windows. ![De Antonio D50 Coupe sporty-looking helm](/sites/default/files/De-Antonio-D50-Coupe-helm-1-2-25.png) The sporty-looking helm, following the angular exterior design, offers a console with space for a pair of Simrad touchscreens and has positioned all controls and switches within easy reach for the driver.### Living Accommodations Accessed via a large sliding door to port of the helm, the below decks space is as stylish and exciting as is her exterior and offers owners and guests several options to fulfill their individual needs. With plenty of storage space, the De Antonio D50 Coupe is well-suited for extended time away. ![De Antonio D50 Coupe sturdy handrail to below deck space](/sites/default/files/De-Antonio-D50-Coupe-below-deck-handrail-1-2-25.png) The way down to this light and airy space is assisted by this sturdy handrail. ![De Antonio D50 Coupe main stateroom](/sites/default/files/De-Antonio-D50-Coupe-main-stateroom-1-2-25.png) The main stateroom is located forward and offers a berth measuring 75” x 55”/1.8m x 1.39m and has 6’3”/1.9m of headroom. These dimensions make for spacious accommodations. There is a double-hinged door just aft of the room which closes off the space. ![De Antonio D50 Coupe full length hanging closets](/sites/default/files/De-Antonio-D50-Coupe-closets-1-2-25.png) Full length hanging closets are provided to make storing clothing easy and efficient while traveling. ![De Antonio D50 Coupe toilet](/sites/default/files/De-Antonio-D50-Coupe-toilet-1-2-25.png) Convenient access to the toilet, in its own separate space, and water closet can be through the stateroom or the head. ![De Antonio D50 Coupe head](/sites/default/files/De-Antonio-D50-Coupe-head-1-2-25.png) The head has a sink, storage cabinet below, and separate shower compartment. There is 6’8”/2.03m of headroom here and a pocket door closes off the space. ![De Antonio D50 Coupe port sideboard has additional storage space](/sites/default/files/De-Antonio-D50-Coupe-port-sideboard-storage-1-2-25.png) The port sideboard, when entering, offers additional storage space as well. ![De Antonio D50 Coupe electrical panel](/sites/default/files/De-Antonio-D50-Coupe-electrical-panel-1-2-25.png) Easy access to the electrical panel and generator is also located here. ![De Antonio D50 Coupe lower lounge](/sites/default/files/De-Antonio-D50-Coupe-lower-lounge-1-2-25.png) The entrance to the lower lounge is via a door aft of the steps. The space is exceptional in that it doubles as a place to hang out while on the hook or, with filler cushions, as an additional sleeping quarters. ![De Antonio D50 Coupe lower lounge converted to second stateroom](/sites/default/files/De-Antonio-D50-Coupe-lower-lounge-to-stateroom-1-2-25.png) Here, with the center piece pushed forward on its track, the lower lounge is now a second stateroom. And with all the floorplans offered as options, your De Antonio D50 Coupe can be easily transformed from a day boat to one capable of spending extended time away.### Aft In its plan to utilize all available space in order to make the on water experience that much more exciting and available, De Antonio provided the aft end of the D50 Coupe with this large sunpad. But as with a lot of other spaces aboard, there is more than meets the eye. ![De Antonio D50 Coupe expansive sunpad](/sites/default/files/De-Antonio-D50-Coupe-expansive-sunpad-1-2-25.png) Measuring 107" x 100"/2.71m x 2.54m, this expansive sunpad is just the start of some of the exciting offerings here. ![De Antonio D50 Coupe under sunpad storage](/sites/default/files/De-Antonio-D50-Coupe-under-sunpad-1-2-25.png) The first is found under the forward portion of the sunpad and reveals this spacious storage space. Note the heavy duty rams, making opening and closing the lid effortless. ![De Antonio D50 Coupe hidden engine compartment](/sites/default/files/De-Antonio-D50-Coupe-hidden-engine-compartment-1-2-25.png) The next is the hidden engine compartment large enough to house up to four 400-hp Mercury outboards. With the engines situated far enough forward, there is an important safety factor for those in the water during anchoring-up time. Note the heavy duty rams which open and close the lid at the push of a button. ![De Antonio D50 Coupe engine lid open](/sites/default/files/De-Antonio-D50-Coupe-engine-lid-open-1-2-25.png) Here, with the engine lid in the open position, the usefulness of having the extra-large swim platform is evident. An added option is a hydraulically operated platform and a deck-mounted fresh water flush. ## A Word About Performance Our De Antonio D50 Coupe was equipped with a pair of 600-hp V12 Mercury outboard engines. We reached a top speed of 50.1 mph/43.53 kn, turning 6200 rpm. Our best cruise come in at 4000 rpm with a 29.1 mph/25.29 kn rate of speed. At that speed, we calculated a 235.9 sm range with a 10% reserve of our 396 fuel capacity. While test conditions were basically calm, the double-stepped hull handled our maneuvers quite well, tracking straight and true and under control during turns. And with the motors hidden away, operating the De Antonio D50 Coupe was quiet at all speeds. ## Observations While the ultra-modern styling might not be for everyone, still, the striking exterior lines of the De Antonio D50 Coupe, one that is carried throughout the model line-up, is the kind that sets her apart from other designs. And with a long list of standard and optional features, she can be outfitted to any individual need, including three different accommodations layouts. Powering the De Antonio D50 Coupe is also a plus. With dual, triple, and even quad Mercury applications, up to 1,600-hp with the latter, exciting performance is throttle-ready. The De Antonio D50 Coupe is billed as a day boat but with features, both standard and optional, she can more than fulfill any cruisers’ needs for extended weekends or longer voyages. If something different is up on your radar screen, check out this 50-foot Coupe with a walk-though and sea trial. You will not be disappointed. ![De Antonio D50 Coupe running](/sites/default/files/De-Antonio-D50-Coupe-running-1-2-25%282%29.png) **Remember, life is better on a boat!** ## Sea Trial & Features Review Transcript ### Overview Founded in 2012 in Barcelona, Spain, De Antonio Yachts builds minimalist, angular day boats ranging from 23 to 60 feet. The D50 Coupe features an ultra-modern aesthetic and concealed outboard engine integration. ### Specifications - **Length overall:** 48 feet, 10 inches - **Beam:** 14 feet, 5 inches - **As-tested weight:** 11,500 pounds - **Draft:** 2 feet, 3 inches (engines up) - **Fuel capacity:** 396 gallons ### Bow Features & Walkways The bow centers around a standard 72-inch by 75-inch sun pad, which buyers can opt to replace with a button-operated, seawater-filled splash pool or jacuzzi. Forward of this is reverse seating for social gatherings, with under-seat storage housing two carbon fiber poles and a shade that attaches to the T-top. Built-in drains allow this storage space to double as an ice box. **Anchor locker:** Electric windlass, chain storage, fender storage, flush-mounted side cleats, and an extended anchor arm roller. Captain Shelley highlighted the plumb bow's design functionality: *"A traditional hull, when you're in bigger waves, that hull is gonna need to displace a decent amount of water and so you'll get some banging as you go along, whereas this plumb bow, because it's just straight up and down, you slice right through."* **Walkways to the bow:** 29-inch gunwale height, 20-inch width. **Windshield:** Single-piece glass with dual wipers and an extra-long brow designed to eliminate mid-day helm glare. **Midship fender clip system:** Uses a removable carbon fiber pole that converts into a boarding step. ### Midship Galley & Main Deck Overhead **Headroom to the hardtop overhead:** 7 feet. **Galley:** Twin burners, a freshwater sink, storage drawers, and a large refrigerator. Adjacent: a dedicated cocktail prep area with a secondary refrigerator. **Upholstery:** All seating uses Mo Burn Sundance fabric. Captain Eric Brandon noted this material is *"cool to the touch, no rot, no fade, repels water, really is cushy and comfy."* **Ventilation:** Manual opening side windows and skylights provide cross ventilation and natural lighting. ### Lower Deck Accommodations & Lounge Access to the lower deck is assisted by a stainless steel grab rail. #### Master Suite **Headroom:** 6 feet, 3 inches. **Berth:** 75 by 55 inches, with walk-around clearance on both sides. Storage includes a large under-bed drawer and mirror-backed hanging lockers. The suite can be completely partitioned off using a double-hinged locking door. #### Head & Walk-In Shower **Headroom:** 6 feet, 8 inches. Uses a split-space design where the water closet is housed in its own compartment, accessible from both the master suite and the shower space. The primary bathroom area includes an accordion pocket door, a separate walk-in shower, a pedestal sink, vanity storage, and a mirror. #### Port-Side Utility Area **Headroom:** 6 feet, 8 inches. Sliding cabinet doors house a refrigerator, cubby storage, a fire extinguisher mount, and electrical outlets. An integrated step-countertop leads down to the lower deck, with main electrical panels and generator controls located underneath. #### Convertible Lower Lounge Positioned midship with 5 feet, 2 inches of headroom (sloping lower toward the aft). Serves as an indoor day lounge with hull-side windows, drawers, cubbies, lighting, and power outlets. Captain Shelley noted: *"All De Antonio boats, even this large D50, are designed as day boats. And to have two cabins on a day boat is kind of superfluous at \[times\]. So this is such a cool use of this space."* The central lounge module rests on a track to keep it secure in heavy seas and slides out to convert into a secondary double berth. ### Cockpit, Mechanical Space & Transom #### Cockpit U-shaped seating with pull-out corner seats and an expandable dining table with integrated drink holders, all shaded by the extended hardtop. #### Mechanical Space Located under a hatch beneath the cockpit table; the compartment provides space for kneeling and working. Components include: - Onan generator and AC systems - Hot water heater, fuel filters, and pump access (starboard) - Battery management system and freshwater washdown hose (port) - Stainless steel fuel tank (forward) - Sea strainers and water tanks #### Transom & Under-Deck Garage **Aft sun pad:** 107 inches wide by 100 inches long, seating four, with central cup holders. **Hidden garage (beneath sun pad):** 9 feet wide by 5 feet, 11 inches deep, fitted with shade pole mounts, a 110-volt outlet for charging water toys (such as SeaBobs), and standing room for an adult. **Swim platform:** Full-beam, reached via two 10-inch steps, measuring 162 inches wide by 55 inches deep (an optional high-low hydraulic system is available). ### Propulsion & Enclosed Outboard System The D50 conceals its outboard engines beneath the aft sun pad, keeping the swim platform fully open and propellers isolated from swimmers. Manual engine flushing inside the hatch can be tight; De Antonio provides an optional deck-mounted freshwater flush inlet as an alternative. **Engine options:** Quad 400-horsepower configuration (1,600 hp total) yields top speeds of 58 mph. The test vessel was equipped with twin 600-horsepower Mercury V12 outboards. **Noise:** Captain Shelley remarked on sound attenuation while running: *"Typically the Mercury 600s, they're quiet anyway, but on the D50 with the sun pad covering them, I'm not hearing any engine noise at all."* ### Helm Station Tilt steering wheel, centerline compass, and carbon fiber dash panel. **Controls:** - Lewmar bow thruster controls - Mercury joystick piloting for outboards - Dual Simrad multifunction displays - Digital throttle controls, JL Audio receiver, and VHF radio - Trim tabs and a backup analog fuel gauge - Storage cubby, dual cup holders, and a manual sliding side window **Suggested improvement:** Captain Shelley noted a desire for mobile device USB/charging outlets to be added inside the dash storage cubby. ### Performance Numbers Tested in open water with dual 600-horsepower Mercury V12 outboards: - **Top speed:** 50.1 mph at 6,200 RPM - **Best cruise:** 29.1 mph at 4,000 RPM - **Fuel burn at best cruise:** 43.1 gallons per hour - **Fuel economy at best cruise:** 0.7 miles per gallon - **Range:** 235.9 statute miles, with a 10% reserve of the 396-gallon total fuel capacity ### Handling & Sea Trial Performance In sharp maneuvers, Captain Shelley noted: *"The boat really does turn really quickly... as you make those harder, sharper turns, I did notice that it tends to bleed off speed just a little bit."* ezstandalone.cmd.push(function() { ezstandalone.showAds(104); }); - [Test Drive](/user/login?destination=/markdownify/node/141984) - [Dealer Contact](/user/login?destination=/markdownify/node/141984) - [Compare to other boats](/boats/compare/141984) --- ## Related Boats [ Report with Video Review with Captain's Report ![De Antonio D42 Open cruising](/sites/default/files/styles/500x375_max/public/de_antonio_d42_open__test_%26_features_review__%282025%29_by_boattest-%281080p%29.mp4_.00_01_28_00.Still002_0.jpg?itok=la56ZDpu) ](/boats/de-antonio/d42-2025) [Luxury Crossovers](/boats/luxury-crossovers) ### [De Antonio D42 (2025-)](/boats/de-antonio/d42-2025) 3 x 300-hp Mercury Verado V8 [ Report with Video Review with Captain's Report ![](/sites/default/files/styles/500x375_max/public/De-Antonio-D60-9-13-25_1.png?itok=iP6JN-IA) ](/boats/de-antonio/d60-2026) [Luxury Crossovers](/boats/luxury-crossovers) ### [De Antonio D60 (2026-)](/boats/de-antonio/d60-2026) De Antonio Express Cruisers, Luxury Crossovers,
