Extra X130 Triplex 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 semi-displacement hull of the X130 Triplex delivers speeds of up to 17 knots.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Extra Yachts X130 Triplex which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 12 guests with its 5 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Mangusta 39 offer the same total guests sleeping overnight, but with 6 cabins could be a better choice for those seeking to maximise the number of family and friends they can sleep onboard. However, for maximum comfort for the owner, the X130 Triplex features a master cabin with a his and hers en-suite bathroom, a dressing room and a study and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. Equivalently, the Custom Line 42 and Custom Line 120 also offer 5 cabins, but with facilities for 12 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family or group vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Extra Yachts X130 Triplex delivers a steady 15 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Custom Line 120 with an impressive cruising speed of 22 knots or the Sunseeker 42M Ocean with a respectable cruising speed of 20 knots. The Extra Yachts X130 Triplex 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 B.Yond Limited Edition, with the slowest cruising speed of 10 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 B.Yond Limited Edition impresses with its extensive range of 8,200 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Sunseeker 42M Ocean allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Custom Line 120 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 25 knots and cruising speed of 22 knots. The Sunseeker 42M Ocean has an impressive gross tonnage of 448GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Extra X130 Triplex 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.
