Romeo 55

Six cabins across 54 metres put more weight behind volume than length, and Romeo Marine puts that volume into a steel hull rather than an aluminium one, a choice that favours durability over outright speed. Delivered new in 2025, Romeo 55 is offered through Boatcrowd from Dubai.

Build and provenance

Her hull is steel, built to a displacement profile rather than one drawn for planing speed. At 780 gross tons she carries broad volume for her 54 metres, and the yard has put that space into six cabins for twelve guests rather than fewer, larger ones. A beam of 10 metres and a draft of 2.4 metres are the dimensions behind that volume, and being new to the water means an early survey will read as a delivery inspection rather than a history.

Layout and accommodation

Twelve guests sleep across the six cabins, and a crew of eleven work from their own quarters, keeping the guest decks clear of daily service traffic. An owner's study and a separate office give her two working rooms rather than one, alongside sunpads on the sundeck for guests who want to do nothing at all.

Performance and engineering

Two 1,448 hp MTU 12V2000M72 engines give her a 14-knot cruise and a 16-knot top speed, output built for covering coastal ground rather than open ocean passages. Stabilisers work both underway and at anchor, so she holds level whether she is moving or settled off a beach for the night, and a bow thruster and stern thruster handle the closer work of docking.

On deck and at anchor

The sundeck carries a jacuzzi and a separate dip pool, so sunbathing and a proper swim are not competing for the same patch of deck, and a swimming platform lowers guests to the water. A gym gives guests somewhere to go beyond a deck chair, and wifi and air conditioning cover the practical side of a longer stay aboard.

Where she lies and how to see her

Romeo 55 lies in Dubai. Boatcrowd sets up a viewing there and stays with you through it, and once an offer is accepted, a surveyor and a sea trial follow before anything closes.
