Bluegame BG54 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 BG54 delivers speeds of up to 36 knots.

Accommodation

If hosting guests overnight is your top priority, then the Bluegame BG54 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 6 guests with its 3 cabin layout option. Nonetheless, competitors like the Sunreef Yachts 55 Ultima have a slight edge in guest accommodation, with the capacity to sleep up to 8 guests in 4 cabins. This makes them more suitable for those looking to maximize the number of family and friends accommodated onboard. The BG54 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom and a sofa is a standout. The Pardo Yachts GT52 is tailored for somewhat smaller groups of 4 guests yet can still deliver an outstanding level of comfort for short trips and overnight vacations.

Performance

In terms of cruising performance, the Bluegame BG54 leads the way with an impressive cruising speed of 30 knots thanks to its twin 625hp Volvo Penta D11-IPS800 engines and maximum speed of 36 knots at 2,400rpm. Closely followed by, the Nord Star 49 SCY with a respectable cruising speed of 26 knots. The Azimut Seadeck 6 also impresses with a cruising speed of 24 knots. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Arcadia Sherpa 60, with the slowest cruising speed of 16 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 Arcadia Sherpa 60 impresses with its extensive range of 854 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Apreamare Gozzo 45 allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Apreamare Gozzo 45 focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 27 knots. Meanwhile, the Nord Star 49 SCY offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 34 knots.
