Apreamare Maestro 56 (2011 - 2023) Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the semi-displacement hull of the 56 delivers speeds of up to 30 knots.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Apreamare 56 which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 6 guests with its 3 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Beneteau Yachts 62 and Gulf Craft 55 offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 8 guests in 4 cabins, making them better choices for those seeking to maximise the number of family and friends they can sleep onboard. However, for maximum comfort for the owner, the 56 features a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a sofa. Equivalently, the Sasga Yachts Menorquin 54 and Outer Reef Yachts 620 Trident Evo also offer 3 cabins, but with facilities for 6 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Apreamare 56 holds its own at a respectable 25 knots and a maximum speed of 30 knots. However, the Grand Banks 54 surpasses this slightly with an impressive cruising speed of 26 knots signalling a lean towards more dynamic performance capabilities. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Fleming Yachts Fleming 55, with the slowest cruising speed of 17 knots, emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and enjoying the journey over the destination.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Outer Reef Yachts 620 Trident Evo impresses with its extensive range of 1,376 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Grand Banks 54 and Outer Reef Yachts 620 Trident Evo all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Grand Banks 54 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 34 knots and cruising speed of 26 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Apreamare Maestro 56 stands out with notable features and design elements. These yachts cater to a wide range of preferences and needs, making the choice a matter of personal taste and specific requirements in the world of luxury yachting.
