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 displacement hull of the T450 delivers speeds of up to 15 knots.
If hosting guests overnight is your top priority, then the Tankoa Yachts T450 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 12 guests with its 6 cabin layout option. Nonetheless, competitors like the Gulf Craft 140 have a slight edge in guest accommodation, with the capacity to sleep up to 14 guests in 7 cabins. This makes them more suitable for those looking to maximize the number of family and friends accommodated onboard. The T450 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with a his and hers en-suite bathroom, a walk-in wardrobe and a dressing table is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Mangusta 43 and Mangusta 46 are tailored for somewhat smaller groupsoffering up to 5 cabins, yet can still deliver an outstanding level of comfort for family or group vacations.
When it comes to cruising speed, the Tankoa Yachts T450 delivers a steady 14 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Sanlorenzo Alloy with an impressive cruising speed of 18 knots or the Gulf Craft 140 with a respectable cruising speed of 16 knots. The Tankoa Yachts T450 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 Wider Yachts Wider 150, with the slowest cruising speed of 13 knots, emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and enjoying the journey over the destination.
Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Wider Yachts Wider 150 impresses with its extensive range of 4,700 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Wider Yachts Wider 150, Gulf Craft 140, Benetti Diamond 44M and Benetti Class 44M all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Sanlorenzo Alloy is especially impressive, with a top speed of 21 knots and cruising speed of 18 knots. The Azimut Grande 44M has an impressive gross tonnage of 499GT, the largest of the competitors here.
Despite stiff competition, the Tankoa T450 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.
