Fjord 52 Open (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 52 Open delivers speeds of up to 38 knots.

Accommodation

The Fjord Yachts 52 Open offers a versatile accommodation layout that caters to both day boating enthusiasts and those who may occasionally seek overnight or weekend getaways. Additionally, its maximum guest capacity of four ensures there's ample space for a small group of friends or family, making it suitable for day outings with the possibility of occasional overnight or weekend use. Conversely, some of its rivals like the Wally 52, Cranchi A46 Luxury Tender and Vanquish Yachts VQ50 with their limited cabin configurations for two guests, may be better suited for day boating enthusiasts who prioritize open-water adventures and occasional overnight escapes.

Performance

When it comes to performance, the Fjord Yachts 52 Open with a top speed of 38 knots can't keep up with its fastest competitors such as the Novamarine BS 180 with its engines boasting a top speed of 50 knots. The Fjord Yachts 52 Open emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed, catering to a different set of priorities. However, it's not the slowest of the group, the Wally 52, tops out at 32 knots.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Palm Beach 50 Open impresses with its extensive range of 862 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Novamarine BS 180, Palm Beach 50 Open, Vanquish Yachts VQ50 and Fiart Yachts Classic 47 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Novamarine BS 180 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 50 knots and cruising speed of 38 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Fjord 52 Open 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.
