Bavaria S45 Coupé Rivals

Accommodation

Most of its rivals, including the Prestige 460S and Bavaria Yachts S45 HT, share the same 6 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The S45 Coupé benefits from a master cabin is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Galeon 485 HTS, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 4 guests in 2 cabins, still offers an exceptional level of comfort for short trips and overnight getaways.

Performance

The Bavaria Yachts S45 Coupé 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 Beneteau Yachts 50, with the slowest cruising speed of 19 knots, emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and enjoying the journey over the destination.
