Princess F62 (Mk1, 2016 - 2020) 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 F62 has won 1 award, most recently for "Best international new release (15-24m)"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the planing hull of the F62 delivers speeds of up to 36 knots. Some may even choose their yacht based upon features such as: three cabin layout with fourth crew cabin with twin berths, 30-knot performance, large aft cockpit and forward cockpit lounge.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Princess F62 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 4 cabin layout option. Some of its rivals, including the Princess S65 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 F62 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a dressing table is a standout. The Princess S60 and Azimut Fly 60, 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 Princess F62 leads the way with an impressive cruising speed of 30 knots thanks to its twin 1,000hp Volvo Penta D13-1000 engines and maximum speed of 36 knots at 2,400rpm. Closely followed by, the Princess S60 with a respectable cruising speed of 28 knots. The Princess S65 also impresses with a cruising speed of 30 knots. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Outer Reef Yachts 620 Trident Evo, with the slowest cruising speed of 18 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 2,500 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Galeon 640 Fly and Outer Reef Yachts 620 Trident Evo 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 S60 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 38 knots.
