Sirena 78 Enclosed 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 78 Enclosed has won 1 award, most recently for "Most Efficient Yacht"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the semi-displacement hull of the 78 Enclosed delivers speeds of up to 25 knots. Some may even choose their yacht based upon features such as: semi or fully enclosed flybridge, four ensuite cabins, no lower helm, massive open-plan main salon & dining area and versatile design includes 26-knot performance.

Accommodation

If hosting guests overnight is your top priority, then the Sirena Yachts 78 Enclosed offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 4 cabin layout option. Nonetheless, competitors like the Sunseeker Ocean 156 and Princess X80 have a slight edge in guest accommodation, with the capacity to sleep up to 10 guests in 5 cabins. This makes them more suitable for those looking to maximize the number of family and friends accommodated onboard. The 78 Enclosed benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a walk-in wardrobe is a standout. The Horizon E81 and Outer Reef Yachts 830 Motoryacht are tailored for somewhat smaller groups of 6 guests yet can still deliver an outstanding level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Sirena Yachts 78 Enclosed delivers a steady 16 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Princess X80 with an impressive cruising speed of 25 knots. The Sirena Yachts 78 Enclosed 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 Riviera 78 Enclosed Bridge Deck, with the slowest cruising speed of 7 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 Riviera 78 Enclosed Bridge Deck impresses with its extensive range of 2,500 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Silent Yachts 80 Closed allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Princess X80 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 31 knots and cruising speed of 25 knots. The Sunseeker Ocean 156 has an impressive gross tonnage of 156GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Sirena 78 Enclosed 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.
