Heesen 5000 Aluminium (Mk1, 2010 - 2018) Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose a yacht on its characteristics (incidentally the 5000 has won a staggering 3 awards, most recently for "Best Semi Custom Built Yacht (30m and up)"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the semi-displacement hull of the 5000 delivers speeds of up to 23 knots.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Heesen 5000 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 12 guests with its 6 cabin layout option. Most of its rivals, including the Sanlorenzo 52Steel and Tankoa Yachts S501, share the same 12 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The 5000 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an 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 Riva 50Metri, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 10 guests in 5 cabins, still offers an exceptional level of comfort for family or group getaways.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Tankoa Yachts S501 impresses with its extensive range of 4,900 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Sunseeker 50M Ocean and Heesen 50m Aluminium Semi-Displacement all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Heesen 50m Aluminium Semi-Displacement is especially impressive, with a top speed of 23 knots and cruising speed of 21 knots. The Tankoa Yachts S531 has an impressive gross tonnage of 750GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Heesen 5000 Aluminium 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.
