Mangusta Oceano 50 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 50 has won 2 awards, most recently for "Best In The Show"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the displacement hull of the 50 delivers speeds of up to 16 knots.

Accommodation

If hosting guests overnight is your top priority, then the Mangusta 50 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 12 guests with its 6 cabin layout option. Nonetheless, competitors like the Wider Yachts Wider 52 have a slight edge in guest accommodation, with the capacity to sleep up to 14 guests in 7 cabins. This makes them more suitable for those looking to maximize the number of family and friends accommodated onboard. The 50 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with a his and hers en-suite bathroom, a his and hers dressing room and a study is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Gulf Craft 155 and Riva 50Metri are tailored for somewhat smaller groupsoffering up to 5 cabins, yet can still deliver an outstanding level of comfort for family or group vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Mangusta 50 has been designed for those not in a hurry, with the slowest cruising speed of the group at 12 knots and a top speed of 16 knots. The Mangusta 50 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 Westport Yachts 164 which has an impressive cruising speed of 20 knots powered by its twin 3,860hp MTU 16V 4000 M73L engines and can reach a top speed of 24 knots. This is closely followed by the Heesen 50m Aluminium Semi-Displacement with a notable cruising speed of 21 knots and top speed of 23 knots.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Westport Yachts 164 impresses with its extensive range of 5,200 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Gulf Craft 155, Custom Line Custom Line 50, Sunseeker 50M Ocean, Heesen 50m Aluminium FDHF, Heesen 50m Aluminium Semi-Displacement and Wider Yachts Wider 150 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Heesen 50m Aluminium Semi-Displacement focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 21 knots. Meanwhile, the Westport Yachts 164 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 24 knots. The Gulf Craft 155 has an impressive gross tonnage of 525GT, the largest of the competitors here.
