Maritimo M54 (Mk1, 2018 - 2020) 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 M54 delivers speeds of up to 30 knots.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Maritimo M54 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 Gulf Craft 55 and 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 M54 features a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a study and hull side windows. Equivalently, the Ferretti Yachts 550 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 Maritimo M54 holds its own at a respectable 25 knots and a maximum speed of 30 knots. However, the Fairline 53 surpasses this slightly with an impressive cruising speed of 26 knots signalling a lean towards more dynamic performance capabilities. The Princess F55 also impresses with a cruising speed of 26 knots. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Azimut 53, with the slowest cruising speed of 15 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 Azimut 53 impresses with its extensive range of 1,065 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Fairline 53 and Maritimo M54 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Princess F55 focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 26 knots. Meanwhile, the Fairline 53 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 34 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Maritimo M54 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.
