Palm Beach 65 Rivals

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Palm Beach PB65 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 4 cabin layout option. Some of its rivals, including the Maritimo X60 and Palm Beach PB70, share the same 8 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The PB65 benefits from a master cabin with an en-suite bathroom is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Grand Banks 60 and Maritimo S59, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 8 guests in 3 cabins, still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Palm Beach PB65 delivers a steady 30 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Palm Beach 60 with an impressive cruising speed of 35 knots or the Palm Beach PB55 with a respectable cruising speed of 40 knots. The Palm Beach PB65 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 Apreamare 66, with the slowest cruising speed of 25 knots, emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and enjoying the journey over the destination.

The Palm Beach PB55 focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 40 knots. Meanwhile, the Palm Beach 60 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 45 knots.
