Tankoa Yachts S501 Evo Rivals

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Tankoa Yachts S501 Evo which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 12 guests with its 5 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Gulf Craft Majesty 160 offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 14 guests in 7 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 S501 Evo features a master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, full-standing headroom and a walk-in wardrobe and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. Equivalently, the Riva 50Metri and Sanlorenzo 50Steel also offer 5 cabins, but with facilities for 10 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family or group vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Tankoa Yachts S501 Evo delivers a steady 15 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Heesen 50m Aluminium Semi-Displacement with an impressive cruising speed of 21 knots. The Tankoa Yachts S501 Evo 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 Wider Yachts W165, with the slowest cruising speed of 11 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 Bilgin Yachts Bilgin 163 I impresses with its extensive range of 5,000 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Heesen 50m Aluminium Semi-Displacement, Wider Yachts W165 and Gulf Craft Majesty 160 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 Mangusta Oceano 52 has an impressive gross tonnage of 499GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Tankoa Yachts S501 Evo 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.
