Pearl 62 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 62 has won 2 awards, most recently for "Flybridge (over 50ft)"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the planing hull of the 62 delivers speeds of up to 34 knots. Some may even choose their yacht based upon features such as: private owner’s suite, four good cabins, good handling and seakeeping, sharp style and massive flybridge.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Pearl Yachts 62 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 4 cabin layout option. Some of its rivals, including the Princess F62 and Absolute 64 FLY, share the same 8 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The 62 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a private stairwell and hull side windows is a standout. The Azimut Fly 60 and Numarine 62, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 6 guests in 3 cabins, still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family getaways.

Performance

In terms of cruising performance, the Pearl Yachts 62 leads the way with an impressive cruising speed of 30 knots thanks to its twin 725hp Volvo Penta D11-IPS950 engines and maximum speed of 34 knots at 2,500rpm. Closely followed by, the Princess F62 with a respectable cruising speed of 30 knots. The Numarine 62 also impresses with a cruising speed of 28 knots. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Gulf Craft 62, with the slowest cruising speed of 20 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 Maritimo M59 impresses with its extensive range of 1,125 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Greenline 58 Fly and Galeon 560 Fly all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Princess F62 focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 30 knots. Meanwhile, the Princess F62 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 36 knots.
