Custom Line 120 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 120 has won a staggering 5 awards, most recently for "Best Flybridge Yacht (above 110ft)"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the planing hull of the 120 delivers speeds of up to 25 knots. Some may even choose their yacht based upon features such as: sleek but spacious design, five ensuite cabins with main deck stateroom, 25-knot performance and semi-custom build.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Custom Line 120 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 Horizon FD130 Tri-Deck and Sunseeker 120 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 120 features a master cabin with a his and hers en-suite bathroom, a dressing room and full-standing headroom and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. Equivalently, the Sanlorenzo 40 and Sunseeker 40M 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 Custom Line 120 holds its own at a respectable 22 knots and a maximum speed of 25 knots. However, the Sanlorenzo SL118 surpasses this slightly with an impressive cruising speed of 26 knots signalling a lean towards more dynamic performance capabilities. The Sanlorenzo SL120A also impresses with a cruising speed of 23 knots. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Moonen Martinique 112, with the slowest cruising speed of 14 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 Moonen 122 Martinique impresses with its extensive range of 4,000 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Westport Yachts 125, Gulf Craft 122, Azimut Grande Trideck, Benetti Motopanfilo 37M, Gulf Craft 125, Horizon RP120 and Sanlorenzo SL120A all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Sanlorenzo SL118 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 30 knots and cruising speed of 26 knots. The Sunseeker 131 has an impressive gross tonnage of 348GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Custom Line 120 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.
