Mangusta Oceano 55 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 displacement hull of the 55 delivers speeds of up to 17 knots.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Mangusta 55 which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 12 guests with its 5 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Benetti B.Yond 57M and Benetti 55M offer the same total guests sleeping overnight, but with 6 cabins could be a better choice for those seeking to maximise the number of family and friends they can sleep onboard. However, for maximum comfort for the owner, the 55 features a full-beam master cabin with a his and hers en-suite bathroom, a his and hers dressing room and a study and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. Equivalently, the Dynamiq G 550 also offer 5 cabins, but with facilities for 10 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family or group vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Mangusta 55 delivers a steady 12 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Gulf Craft 175 with an impressive cruising speed of 14 knots or the Heesen 55m with a respectable cruising speed of 14 knots. The Mangusta 55 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 Dynamiq G 550, with the slowest cruising speed of 10 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 Benetti B.Yond 57M impresses with its extensive range of 5,000 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Gulf Craft 175 and Dynamiq G 550 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Benetti 55M focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 14 knots. Meanwhile, the Gulf Craft 175 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 17 knots. The Sanlorenzo 57Steel has an impressive gross tonnage of 1,050GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Mangusta Oceano 55 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.
