Mochi Craft Dolphin 54 Fly (2008 - 2023) Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the planing hull of the 54 Fly delivers speeds of up to 32 knots.

Accommodation

If hosting guests overnight is your top priority, then the Mochi Craft 54 Fly offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 7 guests with its 3 cabin layout option. Nonetheless, competitors like the Azimut 53 have a slight edge in guest accommodation, with the capacity to sleep up to 7 guests in 4 cabins. This makes them more suitable for those looking to maximize the number of family and friends accommodated onboard. The 54 Fly benefits from a master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a skylight is a standout. The Palm Beach PB50 and Palm Beach 50 Express 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 Mochi Craft 54 Fly delivers a steady 28 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Zeelander Z55 with an impressive cruising speed of 38 knots or the Palm Beach 50 Express with a respectable cruising speed of 35 knots. The Mochi Craft 54 Fly 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 Azimut 53, with the slowest cruising speed of 15 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 Azimut 53 impresses with its extensive range of 1,065 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 Zeelander Z55 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 43 knots and cruising speed of 38 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Mochi Craft Dolphin 54 Fly 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.
