Absolute 52 FLY Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose a yacht on its characteristics (incidentally the 52 FLY has won 1 award, most recently for "Motor Yacht 15-18m"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the planing hull of the 52 FLY delivers speeds of up to 30 knots. Some may even choose their yacht based upon features such as: excellent three-cabin design, bright salon with galley aft, ips, 30-knot performance and superb decks include forward lounge.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Absolute 52 FLY 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 Princess F55 offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 7 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 52 FLY features a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a dressing table. Equivalently, the Ferretti Yachts 550 and Galeon 500 Fly also offer 3 cabins, but with facilities for 6 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family vacations.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Beneteau Yachts 52 impresses with its extensive range of 1,967 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Astondoa As5, Galeon 500 Fly and Greenline 58 Fly all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Azimut Fly 53 focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 26 knots. Meanwhile, the Galeon 500 Fly offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 35 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Absolute 52 FLY 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.
