The 50 GLS Coupe: Brand New from Cruisers Yachts

Why This Model Launch Matters

• The 50 GLS is already the largest model in the adventure-seeking GLS series. 

• The Coupe version adds an enclosed helm/galley roof option, improving protection from the elements, while maintaining open-deck fun. According to a recent news brief, “the new 50 GLS Coupe design option … extends the boating season while offering elevated comfort and style.” Green Bay News Network

• Start boating early spring and continue into late fall with the 50 GLS Coupe.

Key Features & Highlights

Performance & Engineering

• Powered by triple 600 hp Mercury Verado V12 outboards (in the standard 50 GLS spec) offering strong performance and a sporty feel. 

• Draft 34″ up / 47.5″ down, beam 14′6″ – substantial size for this class. 

• Huge fuel capacity (~660 gallons) and water (~100 gallons) in the base spec – meaning more reach, more comfort.

Deck & Exterior Layout

• The “dual beach doors” stand out: gunwale sections drop down to create terrace-like platforms at the water’s edge, enhancing swim zone and entertaining capability.

• The bow area includes plush seating, a power high/low table, JL Audio speakers, chiller box and cupholders — ideal for lounging, sun-soaking or casual dining. 

• The cockpit has been designed for entertainment: multiple L-shaped seating areas, aft facing benches, a midships galley/entertaining station and optional sunroof/foredeck shade for comfort. 

Interior & Accommodations

• Below decks: a forward stateroom with queen berth, skylight, opening porthole; a mid-berth or convertible area; head with separate shower. 

• Helm area features three Simrad MFDs and luxury captain/companion seating for ease of operation and comfort. 

The Coupe Advantage

While specifics on the Coupe version are still emerging, the core differentiators for your blog audience include:

• Enclosed helm/deckhouse option which gives protection from wind/ spray and makes the yacht more usable in variable weather.

• Retains allure and sport luxury styling of the GLS line but adds an “all-season” dimension — especially relevant for the Northeast/Long Island market.

• For buyers looking for flexibility (day-boat by day, weekend cruiser by night) the coupe version bolsters value and usability.

A Yacht That Blends Power and Poise

The 50 GLS Coupe isn’t just about looks (though it turns heads everywhere it goes). It’s built to perform.

Under the sleek coupe profile lies triple Mercury 600-horsepower V12 Verado outboards, giving this yacht serious muscle with smooth, confident control. You’ll feel the power as you throttle up — yet the ride remains quiet, balanced, and refined, even at speed.

Cruisers Yachts engineered this model with a 14’6” beam and a 34” draft (up) / 47.5” (down), ensuring stability and comfort whether you’re gliding across the Sound or cruising out toward Block Island. The 660-gallon fuel capacity means you can venture farther — and the 100-gallon water tank supports weekend stays with ease.

It’s sport performance wrapped in yacht-class luxury.

A Beach Club That Comes to Life

Few features capture the spirit of the GLS lineup like its dual drop-down beach doors.

At the touch of a button, both sides of the cockpit fold down, transforming your aft deck into a terrace at water level. Picture this: the boat anchored in a quiet cove, music playing softly, and your guests lounging with their feet just above the water. It’s your own floating beach club — and it’s one of the most social, joy-filled spaces you’ll ever experience on the water.

The aft cockpit itself is a masterpiece of design. Expansive L-shaped seating, a central galley for easy entertaining, and convertible lounging zones make it ideal for hosting family, friends, or clients. Whether you’re pouring cocktails at sunset or serving brunch on a lazy Sunday, every detail is built to make entertaining effortless.

Bow to Stern, Comfort Meets Craftsmanship

Step forward, and you’ll discover another defining feature of the 50 GLS Coupe — the spacious bow lounge. Plush seating, a power high/low table, integrated JL Audio speakers, and chilled drink storage make it the best seat in the house.

Inside the enclosed helm area, Cruisers Yachts delivers a space that feels both modern and timeless. You’ll find three Simrad MFDs for easy navigation, climate control, and beautifully stitched captain’s chairs that make long runs a pleasure. The Coupe enclosure adds panoramic glass, a full hardtop, and sliding doors for a seamless indoor-outdoor flow — perfect for unpredictable Northeast weather.

Below deck, the 50 GLS Coupe continues to impress. A forward stateroom with a queen berth offers luxury overnight accommodations, while the mid-berth converts easily for guests or kids. A private head with a full shower and designer finishes reminds you this yacht was crafted with the same care as a luxury residence.

Built for the Long Island Lifestyle

Every boater dreams differently — and on Long Island, those dreams are as diverse as the waters that surround us. The 50 GLS Coupe fits every version of the boating lifestyle we see at Strong’s Marine.

It’s ideal for the social day-boater who loves hosting friends around Shelter Island or Sag Harbor. The beach doors and lounge seating make every day on the water feel like a Hamptons summer party.

It’s perfect for the weekend cruiser who loves exploring — from Greenport’s dining scene to overnight getaways at Fire Island or Watch Hill. With its enclosed helm and comfortable accommodations, you’ll have everything you need for spontaneous adventures.

And it’s built for the experienced boater ready to step up from a 35’–40’ express or bowrider into something that offers more space, style, and confidence — without losing that connection to the water that makes boating so special.

Luxury That Feels Effortless

Cruisers Yachts has always designed with intention — every line, every feature, every finish has a purpose. In the 50 GLS Coupe, that philosophy shines through.

You’ll notice it in the subtle ambient lighting that shifts the mood from day to night. In the thoughtful galley placement that lets you serve guests without missing a conversation. In the quiet hum of the engines at idle, promising power that’s ready the moment you are.

Even the helm ergonomics are refined — controls fall naturally to hand, and the captain’s view is unobstructed and commanding. It’s an experience that feels both luxurious and intuitive, reminding you why Cruisers Yachts continues to set the bar in American yacht craftsmanship.

The All-Season Advantage

For many Long Island boaters, the ability to stretch the boating season is invaluable. The 50 GLS Coupe’s enclosed design gives you that freedom.

You can enjoy early spring mornings on the Peconic, crisp fall cruises past Shelter Island, or those perfect golden-hour evenings when the air cools but you’re still warm and comfortable inside. The coupe enclosure with its glass doors and skylights gives you the best of both worlds — open when you want the elements, closed when you don’t.

This model doesn’t just extend your boating season — it transforms it.
