Benetti B.Now 50M (2021 - 2024) 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 50M has won 1 award, most recently for "Superyachts 40-60m"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the displacement hull of the 50M delivers speeds of up to 15 knots.

Accommodation

If hosting guests overnight is your top priority, then the Benetti 50M offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 12 guests with its 6 cabin layout option. Nonetheless, competitors like the Gulf Craft Majesty 160 and Wider Yachts Wider 52 have a slight edge in guest accommodation, with the capacity to sleep up to 14 guests in 7 cabins. This makes them more suitable for those looking to maximize the number of family and friends accommodated onboard. The 50M benefits from a master cabin with a his and hers en-suite bathroom, a dressing room and a study is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Gulf Craft 155 and Riva 50Metri are tailored for somewhat smaller groupsoffering up to 5 cabins, yet can still deliver an outstanding level of comfort for family or group vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Benetti 50M delivers a steady 13 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Westport Yachts 164 with an impressive cruising speed of 20 knots or the Heesen 50m Aluminium Semi-Displacement with a respectable cruising speed of 21 knots. The Benetti 50M 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 Wider 150, with the slowest cruising speed of 13 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 Westport Yachts 164 impresses with its extensive range of 5,200 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Gulf Craft 155, Custom Line Custom Line 50, Sunseeker 50M Ocean, Heesen 50m Aluminium FDHF, Heesen 50m Aluminium Semi-Displacement, Wider Yachts Wider 150 and Dynamiq G 500 Hybrid all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Heesen 50m Aluminium Semi-Displacement focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 21 knots. Meanwhile, the Westport Yachts 164 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 24 knots. The Gulf Craft 155 has an impressive gross tonnage of 525GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Benetti B.Now 50M 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.
