Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose a yacht on its characteristics (incidentally the 77S has won 2 awards, most recently for "Best Motor Yacht Over 75'"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the planing hull of the 77S delivers speeds of up to 35 knots.
If your priority is guest accommodation then the Azimut 77S offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 9 guests with its 4 cabin layout option. Most of its rivals, including the Azimut 80 and Princess S78, share the same 9 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The 77S benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a dressing room and hull side windows is a standout. The Riva 76' Perseo, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 6 guests in 3 cabins, still offers an exceptional level of comfort for family getaways.
When it comes to cruising speed, the Azimut 77S delivers a steady 30 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Princess V78 with an impressive cruising speed of 37 knots or the Princess S78 with a respectable cruising speed of 35 knots. The Azimut 77S 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 Azimut 80, with the slowest cruising speed of 24 knots, emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and enjoying the journey over the destination.
Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Sunseeker 74 impresses with its extensive range of 1,028 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Princess V78 allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Princess V78 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 39 knots and cruising speed of 37 knots.
Despite stiff competition, the Azimut 77S 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.
