Absolute 47 FLY Rivals

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 planing hull of the 47 FLY delivers speeds of up to 28 knots.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Absolute 47 FLY offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 6 guests with its 3 cabin layout option. Most of its rivals, including the Galeon 500 Fly and Absolute 50 FLY, share the same 6 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The 47 FLY benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom and a dressing table is a standout. The Princess F45, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 4 guests in 2 cabins, still offers an exceptional level of comfort for short trips and overnight getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Absolute 47 FLY has been designed for those not in a hurry, with the slowest cruising speed of the group at 22 knots and a top speed of 28 knots. The Absolute 47 FLY emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and its target audience will be those who enjoy the journey over the destination. The title for the fastest cruising speed goes to the Princess F50 which has an impressive cruising speed of 30 knots powered by its twin 600hp Volvo Penta D8-IPS800 engines and can reach a top speed of 36 knots.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Absolute 48 impresses with its extensive range of 1,471 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Galeon 440 Fly, Galeon 470, Gulf Craft 48, Greenline 48 Fly and Galeon 500 Fly all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Carver Yachts C52 focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 32 knots. Meanwhile, the Princess F50 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 36 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Absolute 47 FLY 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.
