Azimut Grande 26M 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 semi-displacement hull of the 26M delivers speeds of up to 28 knots. Some may even choose their yacht based upon features such as: five cabins with main deck stateroom, massive upper deck, 26-knot top speed and semi-custom build.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Azimut 26M offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 10 guests with its 5 cabin layout option. Some of its rivals, including the Azimut 27M and Sirena Yachts 88, share the same 10 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The 26M benefits from a master cabin with an en-suite bathroom and a dressing table is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Sanlorenzo SL86 and Ferretti Yachts 850, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 8 guests in 4 cabins, still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Azimut 26M delivers a steady 24 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Cranchi Settantotto 78 with an impressive cruising speed of 23 knots. The Azimut 26M 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 Sanlorenzo SD90, 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 Sirena Yachts 88 impresses with its extensive range of 2,100 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Sanlorenzo SX88, Cranchi Settantotto 78, Ocean Alexander 27R NGP, Extra Yachts 86, Princess Y85, Princess X80 and Sirena Yachts 88 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Princess Y85 focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 30 knots. Meanwhile, the Cranchi Settantotto 78 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 33 knots. The Sanlorenzo SD90/s has an impressive gross tonnage of 155GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Azimut Grande 26M 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.

When considering a new (or indeed used) yacht, it’s certainly important to wonder about the alternatives in the Azimut Grande range or indeed its competitors. Browse our hand-picked selection of 22 competing models.
