Princess V60 (2018 - 2024) 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 V60 delivers speeds of up to 38 knots. Some may even choose their yacht based upon features such as: three-cabin layout with optional fourth single or crew cabin, forward cockpit, hardtop with skylight sunroof and galley aft layout.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Princess V60 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 Fairline 65 GTO and Maritimo X60 offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 10 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 V60 features a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and full-standing headroom. Equivalently, the Princess S60 and Pershing 62 also offer 3 cabins, but with facilities for 6 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Princess V60 delivers a steady 30 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Pershing 6X with an impressive cruising speed of 40 knots or the Pershing 62 with a respectable cruising speed of 42 knots. The Princess V60 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 Prestige 630S, 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 Maritimo X60 impresses with its extensive range of 901 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Wider Yachts WiLder 60 allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Pershing 62 focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 42 knots. Meanwhile, the Pershing 6X offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 48 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Princess V60 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.
