Ferretti 550 (2015 - 2022) 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 550 has won 1 award, most recently for "Best Flybridge Yacht (up to 55ft)"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the planing hull of the 550 delivers speeds of up to 31 knots.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Ferretti Yachts 550 which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 6 guests with its 3 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Princess F55 and Fairline 58 offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 7 guests in 4 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 550 features a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a dressing table. Equivalently, the Azimut Fly 60 and Sunseeker 52 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 Ferretti Yachts 550 delivers a steady 26 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Cranchi E56F Evoluzione with an impressive cruising speed of 25 knots. The Ferretti Yachts 550 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 Beneteau Yachts 6, with the slowest cruising speed of 24 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 1,125 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Astondoa As5, Galeon 550 Fly and Rodman Muse 54 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Horizon E56 focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 28 knots. Meanwhile, the Cranchi E56F Evoluzione offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 35 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Ferretti 550 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.
