Astondoa As5 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 planing hull of the As5 delivers speeds of up to 32 knots.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Astondoa As5 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 Princess F55 and Fairline 53 offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 7 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 As5 features a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom and a sofa. Equivalently, the Ferretti Yachts 550 and Absolute 58 FLY also offer 3 cabins, but with facilities for 6 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family vacations.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Fairline 53 impresses with its extensive range of 867 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Galeon 560 Fly allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Azimut Fly 53 focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 26 knots. Meanwhile, the Princess F58 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 34 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Astondoa As5 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.

When considering a new (or indeed used) yacht, it’s certainly important to wonder about the alternatives in the Astondoa As range or indeed its competitors. Browse our hand-picked selection of 12 competing models.
