VisionF 82 Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the VisionF 82 which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 7 guests with its 4 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Fountaine Pajot P80 offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 14 guests in 7 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 82 features a master cabin with an en-suite bathroom and hull side windows. Equivalently, the Silent Yachts 80 Open and Bering Yachts BC80 also offer 4 cabins, but with facilities for 8 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

In terms of cruising performance, the VisionF 82 leads the way with an impressive cruising speed of 12 knots thanks to its 800hp Volvo Penta D13-IPS1050 engines and maximum speed of 20 knots at 2,300rpm. Closely followed by, the Silent Yachts 80 Closed with a respectable cruising speed of 12 knots. The Bering Yachts BC80 also impresses with a cruising speed of 10 knots. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Bering Yachts BC80, with the slowest cruising speed of 10 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 Silent Yachts 80 Open and Silent Yachts 80 Closed all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Silent Yachts 80 Closed is especially impressive, with a top speed of 16 knots and cruising speed of 12 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the VisionF 82 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.
