Sanlorenzo 57Steel 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 displacement hull of the 57Steel delivers speeds of up to 16 knots. Some may even choose their yacht based upon features such as: six en suite cabins, tri deck yacht design, superb use of glass, skylounge, sundeck and 9 berth crew quarters.

Accommodation

If hosting guests overnight is your top priority, then the Sanlorenzo 57Steel offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 12 guests with its 6 cabin layout option. Nonetheless, competitors like the Benetti 55M Four-Deck 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 57Steel benefits from a master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a dressing room and a study is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Mangusta 55 and Tankoa Yachts S581 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 Sanlorenzo 57Steel 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 Sanlorenzo 57Steel 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 Tankoa Yachts S581 which has an impressive cruising speed of 23 knots powered by its 3 x 2,600hp MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines and can reach a top speed of 27 knots. This is closely followed by the Gulf Craft 175 with a notable cruising speed of 14 knots and top speed of 17 knots.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Benetti B.Yond 57M impresses with its extensive range of 5,000 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Tankoa Yachts S581 and Gulf Craft 175 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Tankoa Yachts S581 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 27 knots and cruising speed of 23 knots. The Sanlorenzo 62Steel has an impressive gross tonnage of 1,350GT, the largest of the competitors here.
