Azimut Atlantis 43 (2014 - 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 43 has won 1 award, most recently for "Best Production Motor Yacht (up to 15m)"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the planing hull of the 43 delivers speeds of up to 36 knots.

Accommodation

The Azimut 43 offers a versatile accommodation layout that caters to both day boating enthusiasts and those who may occasionally seek overnight or weekend getaways. Additionally, its maximum guest capacity of seven ensures there's ample space for a small group of friends or family, making it suitable for day outings with the possibility of occasional overnight or weekend use.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Azimut 43 holds its own at a respectable 31 knots and a maximum speed of 36 knots. However, the Princess V40 surpasses this slightly with an impressive cruising speed of 32 knots signalling a lean towards more dynamic performance capabilities. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Galeon 430 HTC, with the slowest cruising speed of 23 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 45 GT impresses with its extensive range of 1,196 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Jeanneau 14, Galeon 405 HTL, Galeon 430 HTC and Sessa Marine C42 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Princess V40 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 39 knots and cruising speed of 32 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Azimut Atlantis 43 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.
