Riviera 575 SUV Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose a yacht on its characteristics (incidentally the 575 has won 1 award, most recently for "Best Motoryacht (50-59')"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the planing hull of the 575 delivers speeds of up to 30 knots.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Riviera 575 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 6 guests with its 3 cabin layout option. The 575 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a sofa is a standout. The Horizon E56XO and Azimut S6, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 6 guests in 3 cabins, still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Riviera 575 has been designed for those not in a hurry, with the slowest cruising speed of the group at 19 knots and a top speed of 30 knots. The Riviera 575 emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and its target audience will be those who enjoy the journey over the destination. The title for the fastest cruising speed goes to the Princess V55 which has an impressive cruising speed of 32 knots powered by its twin 900hp Volvo Penta D13-900 engines and can reach a top speed of 37 knots. This is closely followed by the Sunseeker 60 Evo with a notable cruising speed of 30 knots and top speed of 34 knots.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Horizon E56XO impresses with its extensive range of 350 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Riviera 545 and Tiara Yachts EX60 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them 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 Riviera 575 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.
