Azimut Grande 25 Metri (2018 - 2022) 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 25 Metri has won 2 awards, most recently for "Best motor yacht in Asia (25-30m)"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the planing hull of the 25 Metri delivers speeds of up to 28 knots.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Azimut 25 Metri 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 Azimut 26M and Horizon E81 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 25 Metri features a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a dressing room and hull side windows and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. Equivalently, the Sunseeker 86 and Sanlorenzo SL86 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 25 Metri delivers a steady 24 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Princess Y78 with an impressive cruising speed of 34 knots. The Azimut 25 Metri 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 27M, 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 Princess Y88 impresses with its extensive range of 1,517 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Azimut 26M allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Princess Y78 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 36 knots and cruising speed of 34 knots. The Azimut 27M has an impressive gross tonnage of 145GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Azimut Grande 25 Metri 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.
