Sea Ray Sundancer 520 (2018 - 2018) 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 Sundancer 520 delivers speeds of up to 32 knots.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Sea Ray Sundancer 520 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 6 guests with its 3 cabin layout option. Some of its rivals, including the Sunseeker San Remo, share the same 6 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The Sundancer 520 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom and hull side windows is a standout. The Princess V50, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 4 guests in 2 cabins, still offers an exceptional level of comfort for short trips and overnight getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Sea Ray Sundancer 520 has been designed for those not in a hurry, with the slowest cruising speed of the group at 26 knots and a top speed of 32 knots. The Sea Ray Sundancer 520 emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and its target audience will be those who enjoy the journey over the destination. The title for the fastest cruising speed goes to the Princess V50 which has an impressive cruising speed of 29 knots powered by its twin 435hp Volvo Penta IPS600 engines and can reach a top speed of 31 knots.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The shallow draft of the Princess V50 allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Princess V50 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 31 knots and cruising speed of 29 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Sea Ray Sundancer 520 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.
