Maritimo X50 (2019 - 2023) Rivals
Accommodation
If hosting guests overnight is your top priority, then the Maritimo X50 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 6 guests with its 3 cabin layout option. Nonetheless, competitors like the Fairline 53 GT have a slight edge in guest accommodation, with the capacity to sleep up to 8 guests in 4 cabins. This makes them more suitable for those looking to maximize the number of family and friends accommodated onboard. The X50 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a sofa is a standout. The Palm Beach PB50 and Riviera 445 are tailored for somewhat smaller groups of 4 guests yet can still deliver an outstanding level of comfort for short trips and overnight vacations.
Performance
When it comes to cruising speed, the Maritimo X50 delivers a steady 28 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Palm Beach 50 Express with an impressive cruising speed of 35 knots or the Azimut 51 with a respectable cruising speed of 31 knots. The Maritimo X50 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 Absolute 48 Coupé, with the slowest cruising speed of 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 Palm Beach 50 Express impresses with its extensive range of 862 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Palm Beach PB50 and Palm Beach 50 Express all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them 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 Maritimo X50 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.
