Sanlorenzo SX100 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 SX100 has won 1 award, most recently for "Motor Yacht 30-40m"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the fast displacement hull of the SX100 delivers speeds of up to 23 knots.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Sanlorenzo SX100 which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 4 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Sunseeker 100 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 SX100 features a master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a walk-in wardrobe and a dressing table and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. Equivalently, the Extra Yachts X99 Fast also offer 4 cabins, but with facilities for 10 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Sanlorenzo SX100 delivers a steady 20 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Extra Yachts X99 Fast with an impressive cruising speed of 28 knots or the Riva 102' Corsaro Super with a respectable cruising speed of 23 knots. The Sanlorenzo SX100 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 Arcadia A105, with the slowest cruising speed of 15 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 Arcadia A105 impresses with its extensive range of 1,900 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Extra Yachts X99 Fast and Gulf Craft Nomad 101 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Extra Yachts X99 Fast is especially impressive, with a top speed of 34 knots and cruising speed of 28 knots. The Extra Yachts X99 Fast has an impressive gross tonnage of 238GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Sanlorenzo SX100 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.
