Outer Reef 700 / 720 Motoryacht 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 700 / 720 Motoryacht has won 2 awards, most recently for "Trawler Yacht & Aft Cabin"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the semi-displacement hull of the 700 / 720 Motoryacht delivers speeds of up to 22 knots.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Outer Reef Yachts 700 / 720 Motoryacht 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 Gulf Craft Nomad 70 SUV offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 10 guests in 5 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 700 / 720 Motoryacht features a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a walk-in wardrobe and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. Equivalently, the Fleming Yachts Fleming 65 and Hampton Yachts Endurance 680 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 Outer Reef Yachts 700 / 720 Motoryacht delivers a steady 18 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Grand Banks GB62 with an impressive cruising speed of 27 knots. The Outer Reef Yachts 700 / 720 Motoryacht 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 Outer Reef Yachts 730 Motoryacht, with the slowest cruising speed of 12 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 Outer Reef Yachts 720 Deluxbridge impresses with its extensive range of 3,400 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Grand Banks GB62, Gulf Craft Nomad 70 SUV, Outer Reef Yachts 670 Azure Sport Yacht and Fleming Yachts Fleming 65 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Grand Banks GB62 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 31 knots and cruising speed of 27 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Outer Reef 700 / 720 Motoryacht 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.
