Tesoro T50 Video Review: Triple V12s, a Tender Garage, Three Cabins
By the YachtWay editorial deskUpdated October 2026Video walkthrough7 min read
The Tesoro T50 is a 53 ft dayboat built in Spain, and this is its triple outboard version with three Mercury 600 V12s. We walked her at the Cannes boat show. The swim platform doubles as a passerelle, the side terraces fold down and a tender garage with a hidden crane sits under the sunbed. The cockpit has an outdoor TV, a galley with a Hoshizaki ice maker and seating for eight. Below there is an owner's cabin with its own head, two guest cabins and a day head, plus a crew cabin aft.
A 50-footer that packs in a lot
On paper the T50 sounds like a much bigger boat: three cabins, a crew cabin, a tender garage, a laundry room and triple outboards. We started at the stern, where the swim platform rises to work as a passerelle or lowers into the water. The V12s free up space inside and are easy to service. The carbon hardtop has cutouts and LED strips, so the cockpit stays bright.

The T50 fits a lot into 53 ft. Triple V12s, a tender garage with a crane, fold-down terraces and an outdoor TV make the deck feel like a much bigger boat. Below, an owner's cabin with its own head, two guest cabins with beds that split into twins and a crew cabin cover a full weekend away. The details, from the glass rinser to the Hoshizaki ice maker, show real care. We did not sea trial her, so we cannot speak to the ride.
