Riviera 50 Sports Motor Yacht Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Riviera 50 Sports Motor Yacht 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 50 Sports Motor Yacht features a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a sofa. Equivalently, the Ferretti Yachts 550 and Sunseeker 52 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 Riviera 50 Sports Motor Yacht delivers a steady 22 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Cranchi E56F Evoluzione with an impressive cruising speed of 25 knots or the Fairline 53 with a respectable cruising speed of 26 knots. The Riviera 50 Sports Motor Yacht 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 Grand Banks 54 Heritage EU, with the slowest cruising speed of 16 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 Fairline 53, Maritimo M54, Cranchi E56F Evoluzione, Sunseeker 52 and Sunseeker 55 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Horizon E56 focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 28 knots. Meanwhile, the Cranchi E56F Evoluzione offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 35 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Riviera 50 Sports Motor Yacht 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.
