Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose a yacht on its characteristics (incidentally the Seventy 8 has won a staggering 3 awards, most recently for "Best Multihull Motor Yacht (above 50ft)").
If hosting guests overnight is your top priority, then the Lagoon Seventy 8 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 12 guests with its 6 cabin layout option. Nonetheless, competitors like the Fountaine Pajot P80 have a slight edge in guest accommodation, with the capacity to sleep up to 14 guests in 7 cabins. This makes them more suitable for those looking to maximize the number of family and friends accommodated onboard. The Seventy 8 benefits from a master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and full-standing headroom is a standout. The Silent Yachts 80 Fly and Silent Yachts 80 Open are tailored for somewhat smaller groups of 8 guests yet can still deliver an outstanding level of comfort for family vacations.
Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The VisionF 80 NG, Silent Yachts 80 Open, Sunreef Yachts 80 Sunreef, Silent Yachts 80 Fly and Silent Yachts 80 Closed all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Sunreef Yachts 80 Sunreef is especially impressive, with a top speed of 21 knots and cruising speed of 17 knots.
Despite stiff competition, the Lagoon Seventy 8 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.
When considering a new (or indeed used) yacht, it’s certainly important to wonder about the alternatives in the Lagoon range or indeed its competitors. Browse our hand-picked selection of 9 competing models.
