Absolute 64 FLY (2012 - 2019) 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 64 FLY delivers speeds of up to 33 knots.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Absolute 64 FLY offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 4 cabin layout option. Most of its rivals, including the Princess F62 and Ferretti Yachts 670, share the same 8 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The 64 FLY benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a dressing table is a standout. The Gulf Craft 65 and Princess F62, 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 Absolute 64 FLY holds its own at a respectable 25 knots and a maximum speed of 33 knots. However, the Princess F62 surpasses this slightly with an impressive cruising speed of 30 knots signalling a lean towards more dynamic performance capabilities. The Princess Y72 also impresses with a cruising speed of 30 knots. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Gulf Craft 65 SUV, with the slowest cruising speed of 15 knots, emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and enjoying the journey over the destination.

The Gulf Craft 62 and Gulf Craft Majesty 62 M all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Princess F62 focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 30 knots. Meanwhile, the Princess F62 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 36 knots.
