Maritimo S54 (2017 - 2020) Rivals

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Maritimo S54 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 6 guests with its 3 cabin layout option. Some of its rivals, including the Maritimo S55, share the same 6 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The S54 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with a dressing table and a sofa is a standout. The Palm Beach 50 Open, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 4 guests in 2 cabins, still offers an exceptional level of comfort for short trips and overnight getaways.

Performance

In terms of cruising performance, the Maritimo S54 leads the way with an impressive cruising speed of 26 knots thanks to its twin 670hp Volvo Penta D11-670 engines and maximum speed of 30 knots at 2,450rpm. Closely followed by, the Palm Beach 50 Open with a respectable cruising speed of 35 knots. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Palm Beach 50 Open, with the slowest cruising speed of 35 knots, emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and enjoying the journey over the destination.
