Damen Xplorer 60 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 60 delivers speeds of up to 14 knots. Some may even choose their yacht based upon features such as: ice class hull, 5,000nm range, flexible layout and hybrid power and propulsion.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Damen Yachting 60 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 12 guests with its 6 cabin layout option. Most of its rivals, including the Damen Yachting Xplorer 58 and Benetti 62M, share the same 12 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The 60 benefits from a master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a his and hers dressing room and a dressing table is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Damen Yachting YS 75 and Damen Yachting 5009, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 4 guests in 2 cabins, still offer an exceptional level of comfort for short trips and overnight getaways.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Damen Yachting YS 75 impresses with its extensive range of 5,000 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Benetti B.Now 60M, Benetti B.Now 60M Oasis and Benetti 62M all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Damen Yachting 5009 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 20 knots and cruising speed of 18 knots. The Damen Yachting YS 75 has an impressive gross tonnage of 1,900GT, the largest of the competitors here.
