Benetti Motopanfilo 37M Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose a yacht on its characteristics (incidentally the Motopanfilo 37M has won a staggering 4 awards, most recently for "Best New Series"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the displacement hull of the Motopanfilo 37M delivers speeds of up to 18 knots. Some may even choose their yacht based upon features such as: four deck design with observation, beautiful retro-toned exterior design, eco-calm luxury five-cabin interior and 3800nm range.

Accommodation

If hosting guests overnight is your top priority, then the Benetti Motopanfilo 37M offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 10 guests with its 5 cabin layout option. Nonetheless, competitors like the Horizon FD130 Tri-Deck and Sunseeker 120 have a slight edge in guest accommodation, with the capacity to sleep up to 12 guests in 6 cabins. This makes them more suitable for those looking to maximize the number of family and friends accommodated onboard. The Motopanfilo 37M benefits from a full-beam master cabin with a his and hers en-suite bathroom, a study and full-standing headroom is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Dynamiq GTT 115 is tailored for somewhat smaller groups of 8 guests yet can still deliver an outstanding level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Benetti Motopanfilo 37M delivers a steady 16 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Maiora 36 Harmony with an impressive cruising speed of knots or the Azimut 35 Metri with a respectable cruising speed of 21 knots. The Benetti Motopanfilo 37M 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 37M, with the slowest cruising speed of 12 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 37M impresses with its extensive range of 5,000 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Maiora 36 Harmony, Dynamiq GTT 115, Westport Yachts 125, Gulf Craft 122, Azimut Grande Trideck and Westport Yachts W130 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Custom Line 120 focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 22 knots. Meanwhile, the Maiora 36 Harmony offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 30 knots. The Benetti 37M has an impressive gross tonnage of 395GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Benetti Motopanfilo 37M 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.
