Astondoa 655 Coupe (2016 - 2021) 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 655 delivers speeds of up to 33 knots.

Accommodation

If hosting guests overnight is your top priority, then the Astondoa 655 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 6 guests with its 3 cabin layout option. Nonetheless, competitors like the Fairline 65 GTO and Fairline 65 GT have a slight edge in guest accommodation, with the capacity to sleep up to 10 guests in 4 cabins. This makes them more suitable for those looking to maximize the number of family and friends accommodated onboard. The 655 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom and hull side windows is a standout. The Bluegame BG62 is tailored for somewhat smaller groups of 4 guests yet can still deliver an outstanding level of comfort for short trips and overnight vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Astondoa 655 delivers a steady 25 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Bluegame BG62 with an impressive cruising speed of 30 knots or the Princess V65 with a respectable cruising speed of 36 knots. The Astondoa 655 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 Fairline 65 GT, with the slowest cruising speed of 20 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 Fairline 65 GT impresses with its extensive range of 717 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Bluegame BG62 allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Princess V65 focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 36 knots. Meanwhile, the Bluegame BG62 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 39 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Astondoa 655 Coupe 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.
