Hatteras 105RPH (2018 - 2022) 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 planing hull of the 105RPH delivers speeds of up to 29 knots.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Hatteras 105RPH offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 14 guests with its 6 cabin layout option. Most of its rivals, including the Ferretti Yachts 960 and Princess 30M, share the same 14 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The 105RPH benefits from a full-beam master cabin with a his and hers en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a dressing table is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Hatteras M98 Panacera and Maiora 30 Walkaround, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 10 guests in 4 cabins, still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Hatteras 105RPH delivers a steady 22 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Sanlorenzo SL106 with an impressive cruising speed of 25 knots or the Ferretti Yachts 960 with a respectable cruising speed of 27 knots. The Hatteras 105RPH 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 Gulf Craft 100, with the slowest cruising speed of 15 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 Sanlorenzo SL106 impresses with its extensive range of 1,406 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Maiora 30 Walkaround allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Ferretti Yachts 960 focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 27 knots. Meanwhile, the Sanlorenzo SL106 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 31 knots. The Azimut 32M has an impressive gross tonnage of 212GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Hatteras 105RPH 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.
