Gulf Craft Majesty 122 (2015 - 2022) 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 122 has won 2 awards, most recently for "Quality and Value Award"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the semi-displacement hull of the 122 delivers speeds of up to 18 knots.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Gulf Craft 122 which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 10 guests with its 5 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Astondoa 125 offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 12 guests in 6 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 122 features a master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a dressing room and a study and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. Equivalently, the Sunseeker 37M and Gulf Craft 125 also offer 5 cabins, but with facilities for 10 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family or group vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Gulf Craft 122 delivers a steady 15 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Sanlorenzo SL118 with an impressive cruising speed of 26 knots or the Azimut 35 Metri with a respectable cruising speed of 21 knots. The Gulf Craft 122 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 Astondoa 120 Steel Explorer, 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 Astondoa 120 Steel Explorer impresses with its extensive range of 4,000 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Westport Yachts 125, Horizon CC115, Azimut 35 Metri, Ocean Alexander 118, Benetti Motopanfilo 37M, Gulf Craft 125 and Horizon RP120 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Sanlorenzo SL118 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 30 knots and cruising speed of 26 knots. The Westport Yachts 125 has an impressive gross tonnage of 329GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Gulf Craft Majesty 122 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.
