Azimut Grande 32M 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 32M has won 2 awards, most recently for "Best Naval Architecture: Semi-Displacement or Planing Motor Yachts"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the fast displacement hull of the 32M delivers speeds of up to 27 knots. Some may even choose their yacht based upon features such as: semi-custom superyacht, spectacular full-height glass to stateroom and salon, impressive decks include waterside lounge, five ensuite cabins, 212gt and 27-knot top speed.

Accommodation

If hosting guests overnight is your top priority, then the Azimut 32M offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 10 guests with its 5 cabin layout option. Nonetheless, competitors like the Hatteras 105RPH have a slight edge in guest accommodation, with the capacity to sleep up to 14 guests in 6 cabins. This makes them more suitable for those looking to maximize the number of family and friends accommodated onboard. The 32M benefits from a master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a dressing room and full-standing headroom is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Horizon E98 and Gulf Craft 95 SUV are tailored for somewhat smaller groups of 8 guests yet can still deliver an outstanding level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Azimut 32M delivers a steady 21 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Extra Yachts X99 Fast with an impressive cruising speed of 28 knots or the Sanlorenzo SL106 with a respectable cruising speed of 25 knots. The Azimut 32M 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 Benetti Delfino 95, with the slowest cruising speed of 13 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 Arcadia A100 impresses with its extensive range of 3,927 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Extra Yachts X99 Fast allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Extra Yachts X99 Fast is especially impressive, with a top speed of 34 knots and cruising speed of 28 knots. The Custom Line 33 has an impressive gross tonnage of 262GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Azimut Grande 32M 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.
