Tankoa T55 Sportiva Rivals

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

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Tankoa Yachts T55 Sportiva which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 10 guests with its 5 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Benetti 55M Four-Deck offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 14 guests in 7 cabins, making them better choices for those seeking to maximise the number of family and friends they can sleep onboard. However, for maximum comfort for the owner, the T55 Sportiva features a master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a study and a private terrace. Equivalently, the Tankoa Yachts S533 Saetta and Tankoa Yachts S581 also offer 5 cabins, but with facilities for 10 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family or group vacations.

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 Tankoa Yachts S533 Saetta and Tankoa Yachts S581 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Tankoa Yachts S533 Saetta focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 24 knots. Meanwhile, the Mangusta 54 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 29 knots. The Benetti 62M has an impressive gross tonnage of 1,100GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Tankoa T55 Sportiva 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.
