Amels 60 Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose a yacht on its characteristics (incidentally the 60 has won a staggering 5 awards, most recently for "Best Interior Design Motor Yachts 500GT and Above"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the displacement hull of the 60 delivers speeds of up to 15 knots. Some may even choose their yacht based upon features such as: espen oeino design, oceangoing hybrid performance, three excellent decks, owner’s stateroom & balcony, pedigree dutch builder and four lower guest cabins with access to beach club.

Accommodation

If hosting guests overnight is your top priority, then the Amels Amels 60 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 12 guests with its 6 cabin layout option. Nonetheless, competitors like the Astondoa 197 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 Amels 60 benefits from a master cabin with a his and hers en-suite bathroom, a dressing room and full-standing headroom 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.

Performance

In terms of cruising performance, the Amels Amels 60 leads the way with an impressive cruising speed of 14 knots thanks to its twin 1,450hp MTU 12V 2000 M72 engines and maximum speed of 15 knots at 2,250rpm. Closely followed by, the Mangusta 60 with a respectable cruising speed of 12 knots. The Amels Amels 206 also impresses with a cruising speed of 13 knots. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Amels Amels 180, with the slowest cruising speed of 13 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 Amels Amels 206 impresses with its extensive range of 5,000 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Astondoa 197, Benetti 55M, Benetti B.Now 60M, Benetti B.Now 60M Oasis, Tankoa Yachts S621 and Benetti 62M all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Benetti 55M focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 14 knots. Meanwhile, the Mangusta 60 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 17 knots. The Sanlorenzo 62Steel has an impressive gross tonnage of 1,350GT, the largest of the competitors here.
