Mochi Craft Dolphin 64 Cruiser (2006 - 2023) 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 64 Cruiser delivers speeds of up to 31 knots.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Mochi Craft 64 Cruiser which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 6 guests with its 3 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Riviera Belize 66 and Palm Beach PB65 offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 8 guests in 4 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 64 Cruiser features a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a dressing table. Equivalently, the Riviera Belize 54 also offer 3 cabins, but with facilities for 6 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Mochi Craft 64 Cruiser delivers a steady 27 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Palm Beach PB65 with an impressive cruising speed of 30 knots or the Riviera Belize 66 with a respectable cruising speed of 30 knots. The Mochi Craft 64 Cruiser 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 Riviera Belize 54, with the slowest cruising speed of 24 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 Palm Beach PB65 impresses with its extensive range of 1,185 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Riviera Belize 54 and Palm Beach PB65 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Riviera Belize 66 focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 30 knots. Meanwhile, the Palm Beach PB65 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 40 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Mochi Craft Dolphin 64 Cruiser 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.
