Sunseeker San Remo (2013 - 2017) 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 San Remo has won 1 award, most recently for "Sportscruisers (over 45ft)"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the planing hull of the San Remo delivers speeds of up to 30 knots.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Sunseeker San Remo offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 5 guests with its 3 cabin layout option. Most of its rivals, including the Prestige 520S and Sea Ray Sundancer 520, share the same 5 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The San Remo benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a sofa is a standout. The Sunseeker 48 and Azimut 48, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 4 guests in 2 cabins, still offer an exceptional level of comfort for short trips and overnight getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Sunseeker San Remo delivers a steady 26 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Sunseeker 48 with an impressive cruising speed of 28 knots or the Azimut 48 with a respectable cruising speed of 30 knots. The Sunseeker San Remo 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 Beneteau Yachts 50, 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 Prestige 520S impresses with its extensive range of 1,169 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Prestige 520S allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Azimut 48 focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 30 knots. Meanwhile, the Sunseeker 48 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 38 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Sunseeker San Remo 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.
