Prestige 680 (2015 - 2021) 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 680 has won 1 award, most recently for "Flybridge (over 60ft)"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the planing hull of the 680 delivers speeds of up to 30 knots.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Prestige 680 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 4 cabin layout option. The 680 benefits from a master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a private stairwell and hull side windows is a standout. The Azimut 66 and Ferretti Yachts 670, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 8 guests in 4 cabins, still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Prestige 680 delivers a steady 25 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Princess F70 with an impressive cruising speed of 27 knots or the Sunseeker 68 with a respectable cruising speed of 30 knots. The Prestige 680 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 Gulf Craft 70, 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 Fairline 68 impresses with its extensive range of 879 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Gulf Craft 70 allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Sunseeker 68 focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 30 knots. Meanwhile, the Princess F70 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 36 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Prestige 680 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.
