Horizon E56XO (2015 - 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 E56XO delivers speeds of up to 32 knots.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Horizon E56XO offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 6 guests with its 3 cabin layout option. Most of its rivals, including the Sunseeker 53 and Riviera 575, share the same 6 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The E56XO benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom and a sofa is a standout. The Sunseeker 55 Evo, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 6 guests in 2 cabins, still offers an exceptional level of comfort for short trips and overnight getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Horizon E56XO delivers a steady 27 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Princess V55 with an impressive cruising speed of 32 knots. The Horizon E56XO 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 Riviera 575, with the slowest cruising speed of 19 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 575 impresses with its extensive range of 727 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Riviera 545 allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Princess V55 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 37 knots and cruising speed of 32 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Horizon E56XO 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.

When considering a new (or indeed used) yacht, it’s certainly important to wonder about the alternatives in the Horizon E Series range or indeed its competitors. Browse our hand-picked selection of 12 competing models.
