Maritimo M59 (Gen 2, 2019 - 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 M59 delivers speeds of up to 30 knots.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Maritimo M59 which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 3 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Pearl Yachts 62 and Gulf Craft 62 offer the same total guests sleeping overnight, but with 4 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 M59 features a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a dressing table. Equivalently, the Azimut Fly 60 and Ferretti Yachts 550 also offer 3 cabins, but with facilities for 6 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Maritimo M59 delivers a steady 23 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Pearl Yachts 62 with an impressive cruising speed of 30 knots or the Cranchi 60 Fly with a respectable cruising speed of 25 knots. The Maritimo M59 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 Outer Reef Yachts 620 Trident Evo, with the slowest cruising speed of 18 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 Maritimo M59 impresses with its extensive range of 2,500 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Cranchi T53, Outer Reef Yachts 620 Trident Evo and Beneteau Yachts 6 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Pearl Yachts 62 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 34 knots and cruising speed of 30 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Maritimo M59 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.
