Riviera 505 SUV Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Riviera 505 SUV offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 6 guests with its 3 cabin layout option. Most of its rivals, including the Horizon E56XO and Tiara Yachts C53, share the same 6 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The 505 SUV benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a walk-in wardrobe is a standout. The Palm Beach 50 Express and Bertram 50 Sport, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 4 guests in 2 cabins, still offer an exceptional level of comfort for short trips and overnight getaways.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Maritimo S59 impresses with its extensive range of 1,125 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Palm Beach 50 Express allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Palm Beach 50 Express is especially impressive, with a top speed of 42 knots and cruising speed of 35 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Riviera 505 SUV 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.
