Palm Beach GT50 Express Rivals

Accommodation

The Palm Beach 50 Express offers a versatile accommodation layout that caters to both day boating enthusiasts and those who may occasionally seek overnight or weekend getaways. Additionally, its maximum guest capacity of four ensures there's ample space for a small group of friends or family, making it suitable for day outings with the possibility of occasional overnight or weekend use.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Palm Beach 50 Express holds its own at a respectable 35 knots and a maximum speed of 42 knots. However, the Zeelander Z55 surpasses this slightly with an impressive cruising speed of 38 knots signalling a lean towards more dynamic performance capabilities. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Palm Beach PB50, with the slowest cruising speed of 26 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 S51 impresses with its extensive range of 948 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Solaris Power 60 Coupé, Palm Beach PB50, Palm Beach PB45, Palm Beach 50 Open and Palm Beach PB52 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 Palm Beach GT50 Express 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.

When considering a new (or indeed used) yacht, it’s certainly important to wonder about the alternatives in the Palm Beach range or indeed its competitors. Browse our hand-picked selection of 15 competing models.
