Custom Line 106 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 106 has won 1 award, most recently for "Semi Displacement or Planing Motor Yachts Below 500GT - 30m to 34.9m"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the planing hull of the 106 delivers speeds of up to 26 knots.

Accommodation

If hosting guests overnight is your top priority, then the Custom Line 106 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 10 guests with its 5 cabin layout option. Nonetheless, competitors like the Gulf Craft Majesty 111 and Hatteras 105RPH have a slight edge in guest accommodation, with the capacity to sleep up to 12 guests in 6 cabins. This makes them more suitable for those looking to maximize the number of family and friends accommodated onboard. The 106 benefits from a master cabin with a his and hers en-suite bathroom, full-standing headroom and a walk-in wardrobe is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Horizon E98 and Westport Yachts W112 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 Custom Line 106 holds its own at a respectable 23 knots and a maximum speed of 26 knots. However, the Sanlorenzo SL106 surpasses this slightly with an impressive cruising speed of 25 knots signalling a lean towards more dynamic performance capabilities. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Custom Line 33, 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 Hatteras 105RPH impresses with its extensive range of 2,110 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Maiora 30 Walkaround, Johnson Yachts 110, Gulf Craft 100, Gulf Craft Majesty 111, Westport Yachts W112, Horizon RP110, Horizon E98, Hatteras 105RPH, Sanlorenzo SL102 Asymmetric, Azimut 32M, Mangusta 33, Riva 110' Dolcevita, Sanlorenzo SL106, Sanlorenzo SL106A, Custom Line 33, Riva 100' Corsaro, Riva 102' Corsaro Super and Monte Carlo Yachts 105 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Sanlorenzo SL102 Asymmetric focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 26 knots. Meanwhile, the Sanlorenzo SL106 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 31 knots. The Custom Line 33 has an impressive gross tonnage of 262GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Custom Line 106 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.
