Numarine 102 (Mk2, 2015 - 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 102 delivers speeds of up to 28 knots.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Numarine 102 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 10 guests with its 5 cabin layout option. Most of its rivals, including the Ferretti Yachts 960 and Gulf Craft 100, share the same 10 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The 102 benefits from a master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a dressing room and full-standing headroom is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Horizon E100, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 8 guests in 4 cabins, still offers an exceptional level of comfort for family getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Numarine 102 delivers a steady 22 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Ferretti Yachts 960 with an impressive cruising speed of 27 knots. The Numarine 102 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 Gulf Craft 100 impresses with its extensive range of 1,300 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Gulf Craft 100 allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Ferretti Yachts 960 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 31 knots and cruising speed of 27 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Numarine 102 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.
