Pershing 72 (2007 - 2011) 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 ##model_name## delivers speeds of up to 45 knots.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Pershing 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 Sunseeker 72 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 ##model_name## features a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a walk-in wardrobe. Equivalently, the Sunseeker 68 MKII 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 Pershing leads the way with an impressive cruising speed of 40 knots thanks to its twin 1,800hp MTU 12V 2000 M93 engines and maximum speed of 45 knots at 2,450rpm. Closely followed by, the Sunseeker 72 with a respectable cruising speed of 25 knots. The Sunseeker 68 MKII also impresses with a cruising speed of 24 knots. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Sunseeker 68 MKII, with the slowest cruising speed of 24 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 Sunseeker 72 impresses with its extensive range of 380 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Sunseeker 68 MKII allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Sunseeker 72 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 38 knots and cruising speed of 25 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Pershing 72 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.
