Cantiere delle Marche RJ 155 Rivals

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Cantiere delle Marche RJ 155 which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 12 guests with its 5 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Sunseeker 50M Ocean and Sanlorenzo 500Exp offer the same total guests sleeping overnight, but with 6 cabins could be a better choice for those seeking to maximise the number of family and friends they can sleep onboard. However, for maximum comfort for the owner, the RJ 155 features a master cabin with a his and hers en-suite bathroom, a study and a walk-in wardrobe and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. Equivalently, the Sunseeker 155 and Gulf Craft 155 also offer 5 cabins, but with facilities for 10 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family or group vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Cantiere delle Marche RJ 155 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 15 knots. The Cantiere delle Marche RJ 155 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 Mangusta 45 which has an impressive cruising speed of 23 knots powered by its 3 x 2,600hp MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines and can reach a top speed of 26 knots. This is closely followed by the Ocean Alexander 155 with a notable cruising speed of 17 knots and top speed of 22 knots.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Wider Yachts Wider 150 impresses with its extensive range of 4,700 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Gulf Craft 155, Sunseeker 50M Ocean, Ocean Alexander 155, 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 Gulf Craft 155 has an impressive gross tonnage of 525GT, the largest of the competitors here.
