Fleming 60 Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice.

Accommodation

If hosting guests overnight is your top priority, then the Fleming Yachts 60 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 6 guests with its 3 cabin layout option. Nonetheless, competitors like the Gulf Craft Nomad 70 SUV have a slight edge in guest accommodation, with the capacity to sleep up to 10 guests in 5 cabins. This makes them more suitable for those looking to maximize the number of family and friends accommodated onboard. The 60 benefits from a master cabin is a standout. The Nordhavn N60 is tailored for somewhat smaller groups of 4 guests yet can still deliver an outstanding level of comfort for short trips and overnight vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Fleming Yachts 60 has been designed for those not in a hurry, with the slowest cruising speed of the group at 8 knots and a top speed of 20 knots. The Fleming Yachts 60 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 Grand Banks GB62 which has an impressive cruising speed of 27 knots powered by its twin 900hp Volvo Penta D13-900 engines and can reach a top speed of 31 knots. This is closely followed by the Grand Banks GB60 with a notable cruising speed of 25 knots and top speed of 31 knots.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Nordhavn N625 impresses with its extensive range of 3,000 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Grand Banks GB62, Grand Banks GB60, Gulf Craft Nomad 70 SUV and Outer Reef Yachts 640 Azure Motoryacht all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Grand Banks GB62 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 31 knots and cruising speed of 27 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Fleming 60 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.
