Azimut S7 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 S7 delivers speeds of up to 35 knots. Some may even choose their yacht based upon features such as: thrilling s sportsbridge design, triple 800hp pod drives, four cabins, aft deck lounge and 36-knot top speed.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Azimut S7 which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 4 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Princess S72 offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 10 guests in 5 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 S7 features a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a walk-in wardrobe. Equivalently, the Azimut S7 and Sunseeker 75 Sport Yacht also offer 4 cabins, but with facilities for 8 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Azimut S7 delivers a steady 27 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Sunseeker Predator 75 with an impressive cruising speed of 21 knots. The Azimut S7 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 Azimut S7, with the slowest cruising speed of 26 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 Sunseeker 75 Sport Yacht impresses with its extensive range of 900 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Azimut S7 and Princess S72 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Princess S72 focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 34 knots. Meanwhile, the Sunseeker Predator 75 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 40 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Azimut S7 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.
