Amels 272 (2017 - 2021) 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 272 has won 1 award, most recently for "Best Rebuilt Yacht"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the displacement hull of the 272 delivers speeds of up to 17 knots.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Amels 272 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 16 guests with its 8 cabin layout option. The 272 benefits from a master cabin with a his and hers en-suite bathroom, a his and hers dressing room and a study is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Tankoa Yachts S801 and Amels 80, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 14 guests in 7 cabins, still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family or group getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Amels 272 delivers a steady 13 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Amels 80 with an impressive cruising speed of 12 knots or the Tankoa Yachts S801 with a respectable cruising speed of 15 knots. The Amels 272 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 Tankoa Yachts S801, with the slowest cruising speed of 15 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 Tankoa Yachts S801 impresses with its extensive range of 6,000 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Tankoa Yachts S801 has an impressive gross tonnage of 2,600GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Amels 272 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.
