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 CLB88 delivers speeds of up to 25 knots.
If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the CL Yachts CLB88 which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 4 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Monte Carlo Yachts 86 and Princess Y88 offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 10 guests in 5 cabins, making them better choices for those seeking to maximise the number of family and friends they can sleep onboard. However, for maximum comfort for the owner, the CLB88 features a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a walk-in wardrobe and a dressing table and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. Equivalently, the Azimut 88 and Ocean Alexander 85E also offer 4 cabins, but with facilities for 8 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family vacations.
Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Ocean Alexander 85 impresses with its extensive range of 2,050 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Westport Yachts Pacific Mariner 85 and Horizon E88 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Ferretti Yachts 850 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 31 knots and cruising speed of 27 knots.
Despite stiff competition, the CL Yachts CLB88 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.
