Beneteau Monte Carlo 52 (2019 - 2022) 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 52 delivers speeds of up to 30 knots.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Beneteau Yachts 52 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 Fairline 53 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 52 features a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a walk-in wardrobe. Equivalently, the Sunseeker 52 and Azimut 55 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 Beneteau Yachts 52 delivers a steady 23 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Princess F50 with an impressive cruising speed of 30 knots. The Beneteau Yachts 52 emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed, catering to a different set of priorities. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Maritimo M51, with the slowest cruising speed of 24 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 Fairline 53 impresses with its extensive range of 867 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Gulf Craft 48 and Rodman Muse 54 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Princess F50 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 36 knots and cruising speed of 30 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Beneteau Monte Carlo 52 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.
