Outer Reef 880 Cockpit Motoryacht 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 semi-displacement hull of the 880 CPMY delivers speeds of up to 25 knots.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Outer Reef Yachts 880 CPMY 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 Outer Reef Yachts 900 Motoryacht and Nordhavn N86 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 880 CPMY features a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a private stairwell and hull side windows and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. Equivalently, the Outer Reef Yachts 860 Deluxbridge and Outer Reef Yachts 860 CPMY also offer 3 cabins, but with facilities for 6 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

In terms of cruising performance, the Outer Reef Yachts 880 CPMY leads the way with an impressive cruising speed of 21 knots thanks to its twin 750hp John Deere 6135SFM85 - M5 engines and maximum speed of 25 knots at 2,200rpm. Closely followed by, the Outer Reef Yachts 860 CPMY with a respectable cruising speed of 11 knots. The Outer Reef Yachts 860 Deluxbridge also impresses with a cruising speed of 12 knots. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Nordhavn N96, with the slowest cruising speed of 10 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 Nordhavn N96 impresses with its extensive range of 4,000 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Outer Reef Yachts 860 Deluxbridge, Outer Reef Yachts 860 CPMY, Outer Reef Yachts 900 Motoryacht and Outer Reef Yachts 830 Motoryacht all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Outer Reef Yachts 860 Deluxbridge focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 12 knots. Meanwhile, the Outer Reef Yachts 860 CPMY offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 16 knots.
