Unique Beneteau 505 Now Available - Marsh Harbor, Bahamas
Remember that famous ad campaign slogan:
“Its Better In The Bahamas”
Well, the current owner of this elegant Beneteau 505 would argue:
“Its even better in this uniquely-customized Beneteau 505 Cruiser!”
If you know this renowned model, it’s standard layout is a 5-cabin, 4-head layout to accommodate a maximum number of passengers plus a forward crew cabin. great for chartering…not so much if you’re in the market for a “live-aboard” cruiser with a larger master stateroom and ensuite.
That’s exactly why this vessel’s current owner completed a clever refit that puts the owner’s comfort first and foremost, while retaining more than reasonable space and comfort for guests.
RECENT UPDATES INCLUDE:
Expanded Aft Master Cabin w/Ensuite New Cortex Vesper AIS Module New Rudder Coupling, Mount and Support Plate New shaft, Bushing & Coupling to engine Inflatable Dinghy with New Electric Engine (Epropulsion Evo) Current owner of 16 years has sailed Grand Illusions II to her home ports in Lake Champlain and the Bahamas. Vessel is currently on the hard at Marsh Harbor, Bahamas - in good condition for her model year with only some modest fiberglass repair required.
This vessel could be a great fit for sailors who want to spend a portion of their time living aboard in the Bahamas. What’s your plan? Contact me today to explore if Grand Illusions II is an ideal fit for you!

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
Also available with shoal draft fin with bulb. (draft: 5.92’)
Rig dimensions are for “standard rig’.
Also called MOORINGS 503, 504, 505, STARDUST 505, depending on layout.
