Tiara F53 Flybridge (2017 - 2021) 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 F53 delivers speeds of up to 34 knots.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Tiara Yachts F53 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 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 F53 features a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom. Equivalently, the Sunseeker 52 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

In terms of cruising performance, the Tiara Yachts F53 leads the way with an impressive cruising speed of 32 knots thanks to its twin 725hp Volvo Penta D11-IPS950 engines and maximum speed of 34 knots at 2,500rpm. Closely followed by, the Princess F50 with a respectable cruising speed of 30 knots. The Riviera Belize 54 also impresses with a cruising speed of 24 knots. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Gulf Craft 55, with the slowest cruising speed of 20 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 Riviera Belize 54 impresses with its extensive range of 704 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Gulf Craft 48 allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Princess F50 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 36 knots and cruising speed of 30 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Tiara F53 Flybridge 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.
