Benetti Motopanfilo 45M 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 displacement hull of the Motopanfilo 45M delivers speeds of up to 15 knots.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Benetti Motopanfilo 45M which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 10 guests with its 5 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Tankoa Yachts T450 offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 12 guests in 6 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 Motopanfilo 45M features a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a dressing room and a study. Equivalently, the Mangusta 46 and Wider Yachts Wider 150 also offer 5 cabins, but with facilities for 12 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family or group vacations.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Nordhavn N148 impresses with its extensive range of 6,000 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Tankoa Yachts T450, Wider Yachts Wider 150 and Mangusta 45 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Mangusta 45 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 26 knots and cruising speed of 23 knots. The Nordhavn N148 has an impressive gross tonnage of 499GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Benetti Motopanfilo 45M 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.
