Prestige 420 (Mk1, 2015 - 2019) 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 420 has won 1 award, most recently for "Best Cruiser"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the planing hull of the 420 delivers speeds of up to 28 knots.

Accommodation

The Prestige 420 offers a versatile accommodation layout that caters to both day boating enthusiasts and those who may occasionally seek overnight or weekend getaways. Additionally, its maximum guest capacity of six ensures there's ample space for a small group of friends or family, making it suitable for day outings with the possibility of occasional overnight or weekend use.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Prestige 420 delivers a steady 22 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Princess F43 with an impressive cruising speed of 27 knots or the Nimbus 405 with a respectable cruising speed of 26 knots. The Prestige 420 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 Azimut 43, with the slowest cruising speed of 17 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 Azimut 43 impresses with its extensive range of 488 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Prestige 420 and Nimbus 405 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Princess F43 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 32 knots and cruising speed of 27 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Prestige 420 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.
