Palm Beach GT50 Open Rivals

Accommodation

The Palm Beach 50 Open offers a versatile accommodation layout that caters to both day boating enthusiasts and those who may occasionally seek overnight or weekend getaways. Additionally, its maximum guest capacity of four ensures there's ample space for a small group of friends or family, making it suitable for day outings with the possibility of occasional overnight or weekend use.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Palm Beach 50 Open holds its own at a respectable 35 knots and a maximum speed of 42 knots. However, the Zeelander Z55 surpasses this slightly with an impressive cruising speed of 38 knots signalling a lean towards more dynamic performance capabilities. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Maritimo S54, with the slowest cruising speed of 26 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 Maritimo S54 impresses with its extensive range of 908 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Palm Beach PB45 and Palm Beach 50 Express all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Zeelander Z55 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 43 knots and cruising speed of 38 knots.
