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 206 delivers speeds of up to 16 knots.
If hosting guests overnight is your top priority, then the Amels Amels 206 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 12 guests with its 6 cabin layout option. Nonetheless, competitors like the Sunreef Yachts 210 Sunreef Power Trimaran and Amels Amels 220 have a slight edge in guest accommodation, with the capacity to sleep up to guests in 7 cabins. This makes them more suitable for those looking to maximize the number of family and friends accommodated onboard. The Amels 206 benefits from a master cabin with a his and hers 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 60 is tailored for somewhat smaller groupsoffering up to 5 cabins, yet can still deliver an outstanding level of comfort for family or group vacations.
When it comes to cruising speed, the Amels Amels 206 has been designed for those not in a hurry, with the slowest cruising speed of the group at 13 knots and a top speed of 16 knots. The Amels Amels 206 emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and its target audience will be those who enjoy the journey over the destination.

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Sanlorenzo 64Steel impresses with its extensive range of 6,000 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Sunreef Yachts 210 Sunreef Power Trimaran allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Heesen 6500 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 24 knots and cruising speed of 21 knots. The Amels Amels 220 has an impressive gross tonnage of 1,518GT, the largest of the competitors here.
