Benetti B.Now 55M 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 displacement hull of the 55M delivers speeds of up to 15 knots.

Accommodation

If hosting guests overnight is your top priority, then the Benetti 55M offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 12 guests with its 6 cabin layout option. Nonetheless, competitors like the Astondoa 197 have a slight edge in guest accommodation, with the capacity to sleep up to 14 guests in 7 cabins. This makes them more suitable for those looking to maximize the number of family and friends accommodated onboard. The 55M benefits from a full-beam master cabin with a his and hers en-suite bathroom, a dressing room and a study is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Mangusta 55 and Mangusta 60 are tailored for somewhat smaller groupsoffering up to 5 cabins, yet can still deliver an outstanding level of comfort for family or group vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Benetti 55M delivers a steady 14 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Tankoa Yachts S581 with an impressive cruising speed of 23 knots or the Westport Yachts Westport W172 with a respectable cruising speed of 19 knots. The Benetti 55M 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 Dynamiq G 550, with the slowest cruising speed of 10 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 Dynamiq G 550 impresses with its extensive range of 5,000 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Tankoa Yachts S581 allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Tankoa Yachts S581 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 27 knots and cruising speed of 23 knots. The Heesen 60m has an impressive gross tonnage of 1,060GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Benetti B.Now 55M 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.
