Benetti B.Yond 37M 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 37M has won 1 award, most recently for "Green Yachts"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the displacement hull of the 37M delivers speeds of up to 14 knots. Some may even choose their yacht based upon features such as: four decks, classic explorer looks, unmatched interior spaces and layout options, up to seven cabins, 5000nm range and steel construction .

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Benetti 37M offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 12 guests with its 6 cabin layout option. Some of its rivals, including the Numarine 37 XP and Sunseeker 120, share the same 12 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The 37M benefits from a master cabin with a his and hers en-suite bathroom, full-standing headroom and an owners balcony is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Horizon RP120 and Moonen Martinique 112, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 10 guests in 5 cabins, still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family or group getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Benetti 37M has been designed for those not in a hurry, with the slowest cruising speed of the group at 12 knots and a top speed of 14 knots. The Benetti 37M emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and its target audience will be those who enjoy the journey over the destination. The title for the fastest cruising speed goes to the Maiora Maiora 36 Exuma which has an impressive cruising speed of 20 knots powered by its 3 x 2,000hp MAN V12-2000 engines and can reach a top speed of 32 knots. This is closely followed by the Sirena Yachts Sirena 118 with a notable cruising speed of 15 knots and top speed of 21 knots.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Numarine 37 XP impresses with its extensive range of 6,000 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Maiora Maiora 36 Exuma allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Maiora Maiora 36 Exuma is especially impressive, with a top speed of 32 knots and cruising speed of 20 knots. The Numarine 37 XP has an impressive gross tonnage of 499GT, the largest of the competitors here.
