Princess F55 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 F55 delivers speeds of up to 33 knots.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Princess F55 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 7 guests with its 4 cabin layout option. Some of its rivals, including the Fairline 58, share the same 7 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The F55 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a dressing table is a standout. The Ferretti Yachts 550 and Sunseeker 52, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 6 guests in 3 cabins, still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Princess F55 holds its own at a respectable 25 knots and a maximum speed of 33 knots. However, the Fairline 58 surpasses this slightly with an impressive cruising speed of 25 knots signalling a lean towards more dynamic performance capabilities. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Absolute 58, with the slowest cruising speed of 23 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 Absolute 58 FLY impresses with its extensive range of 779 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Astondoa As5 and Galeon 550 Fly all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Ferretti Yachts 580 focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 26 knots. Meanwhile, the Fairline 58 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 34 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Princess F55 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.
