POWER REVIEW
CRUISERS YACHTS
50 CANTIUS
VOLVO PENTA ASSISTED DOCKING
By | Andy Adams
T
he Cruisers Yachts 50 Cantius was
actually reviewed in Canadian
Yachting a few years ago when
this model was first launched but we are
back for a fresh look because our test boat
was equipped with the new Volvo Penta
Assisted Docking system and it makes the
Cantius even better than before.
EASE OF USE AND
CONVENIENCE
Undoubtedly, a big factor in the success
that Cruisers Yachts has had with their
entire Cantius line of yachts lies in its ease
of use and convenience. We wrote the last
time, that the Volvo Penta IPS propulsion
system is an important part of that equation.
The earlier 50 Cantius had Volvo
Penta IPS 600s and Joystick Docking
but the 2023 test boat featured the IPS
700s with the new Volvo Penta Assisted
Docking system.
The IPS 700s are twin D8 diesels each
delivering 550 crankshaft horsepower,
driving forward-facing, counter-rotating
prop sets on each drive with electrically
controlled steering, joystick docking and
delivering now legendary performance
and handling. The new Assisted Docking
system really adds to the convenience and
enjoyment.
The Cantius models pioneered the idea
of a big yacht that did not need any canvas.
The Cantius could be easily unlocked
and made ready to run with almost no
effort. As you come aboard the spacious
swim platform and walk up either the port
or starboard stairs to the cockpit, you can
just unlock the substantial and beautifully
made stainless steel framed glass door in
the aft bulkhead and step right into the
cabin, and with the galley right by the
door.
Put the groceries down on the counter
(or straight into the drawer 'fridges) and
get comfortable; no zippers, no canvas

and nothing to fold or stow.
Turn on the power and get the air conditioning
(or the heat) going and relax. If
it's hot out, open the electric roof section
over the helm and the dining area and let
the heat out. Slide the beautiful bulkhead
door open.
No need to delay. While the engines
warm up, you can take off the lines and
using the new Assisted Docking Joystick
control, move confidently out of your slip
and away from the docks.
The process is simple, incredibly accurate
and far more user-friendly than the
old basic Joystick system. That was great
for the time, but things have been greatly
refined.

SYSTEM
In addition to the IPS 700 Volvo Penta
powered by the D8 diesels, the test boat
had the Volvo Penta
