Bavaria S45 Open 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 S45 Open delivers speeds of up to 31 knots.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Bavaria Yachts S45 Open offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 6 guests with its 3 cabin layout option. Most of its rivals, including the Bavaria Yachts S45 Coupé 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 Open 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

When it comes to cruising speed, the Bavaria Yachts S45 Open has been designed for those not in a hurry, with the slowest cruising speed of the group at 24 knots and a top speed of 31 knots. The Bavaria Yachts S45 Open 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 Jeanneau 46 which has an impressive cruising speed of 30 knots powered by its twin 380hp Volvo Penta D6-380 engines and can reach a top speed of 34 knots.
