Princess F70 (2018 - 2021) 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 F70 delivers speeds of up to 36 knots. Some may even choose their yacht based upon features such as: flagship of the f range, large flybridge with dining and lounging options, four cabin three bathroom layout and forward cockpit lounge.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Princess F70 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 4 cabin layout option. Most of its rivals, including the Azimut 72 and Azimut 66, share the same 8 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The F70 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a private stairwell and hull side windows is a standout. The Riva 66' Ribelle, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 6 guests in 3 cabins, still offers an exceptional level of comfort for family getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Princess F70 delivers a steady 27 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Riva 66' Ribelle with an impressive cruising speed of 33 knots or the Sessa Marine Fly68 Gullwing with a respectable cruising speed of 31 knots. The Princess F70 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 Outer Reef Yachts 720, with the slowest cruising speed of 19 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 Princess Y72 impresses with its extensive range of 1,500 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Gulf Craft 70 allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Riva 66' Ribelle is especially impressive, with a top speed of 37 knots and cruising speed of 33 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Princess F70 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.
