Sanlorenzo SL106 Asymmetric 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 SL106A delivers speeds of up to 28 knots.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Sanlorenzo SL106A which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 10 guests with its 5 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Sunseeker 100 and Hatteras 105RPH offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 13 guests in 6 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 SL106A features a master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, full-standing headroom and a walk-in wardrobe and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. Equivalently, the Monte Carlo Yachts 105 and Astondoa 100 also offer 5 cabins, but with facilities for 10 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family or group vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Sanlorenzo SL106A delivers a steady 24 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Hatteras 105RPH with an impressive cruising speed of 22 knots. The Sanlorenzo SL106A 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 Johnson Yachts 110, with the slowest cruising speed of 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 Hatteras 105RPH impresses with its extensive range of 2,110 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Johnson Yachts 110 allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Sanlorenzo SL102 Asymmetric focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 26 knots. Meanwhile, the Hatteras 105RPH offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 29 knots. The Mangusta 33 has an impressive gross tonnage of 228GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Sanlorenzo SL106 Asymmetric 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.
