Bavaria S36 HT (2014 - 2023) 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 S36 HT delivers speeds of up to 32 knots. Some may even choose their yacht based upon features such as: smart two-cabin sports yacht, two good cabins, spacious interior, optional aft-facing transom lounge , 30-knot perfromance and choice of hardtop designs.

Accommodation

The Bavaria Yachts S36 HT offers a versatile accommodation layout that caters to both day boating enthusiasts and those who may occasionally seek overnight or weekend getaways. Additionally, its maximum guest capacity of four ensures there's ample space for a small group of friends or family, making it suitable for day outings with the possibility of occasional overnight or weekend use. Conversely, some of its rivals like the Regal Boats 35 Sport Coupe and Sessa Marine C35 with their simpler one cabin configurations may be better suited for day boating enthusiasts who prioritize open-water adventures and occasional overnight escapes.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Bavaria Yachts S36 HT has been designed for those not in a hurry, with the slowest cruising speed of the group at 25 knots and a top speed of 32 knots. The Bavaria Yachts S36 HT emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and its target audience will be those who enjoy the journey over the destination. The title for the fastest cruising speed goes to the Regal Boats 35 Sport Coupe which has an impressive cruising speed of 26 knots powered by its twin 300hp Mercury MerCruiser 6.2L 300 engines and can reach a top speed of 44 knots. This is closely followed by the Regal Boats 36 Grande Coupé with a notable cruising speed of 32 knots and top speed of 40 knots.

The Galeon 370 HTC, Galeon 385 HTS and Galeon 365 HTS all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels.
