Astondoa 100 Century 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 100 delivers speeds of up to 24 knots.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Astondoa 100 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 10 guests with its 5 cabin layout option. Most of its rivals, including the Princess 30M and Riva 100' Corsaro, share the same 10 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The 100 benefits from a master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, full-standing headroom and a sofa is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Horizon E98 and Gulf Craft 95 SUV, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 8 guests in 4 cabins, still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Astondoa 100 delivers a steady 20 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Extra Yachts X99 Fast with an impressive cruising speed of 28 knots or the Riva 90' Argo with a respectable cruising speed of 26 knots. The Astondoa 100 emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed, catering to a different set of priorities. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Benetti Delfino 95, 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 Benetti Delfino 95 impresses with its extensive range of 2,320 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Extra Yachts X99 Fast allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Extra Yachts X99 Fast is especially impressive, with a top speed of 34 knots and cruising speed of 28 knots. The Extra Yachts X96 Triplex has an impressive gross tonnage of 238GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Astondoa 100 Century stands out with notable features and design elements. These yachts cater to a wide range of preferences and needs, making the choice a matter of personal taste and specific requirements in the world of luxury yachting.
