Extra 86 (2018 - 2021) 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 86 has won 1 award, most recently for "Interior Design under 40m").

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Extra Yachts 86 which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 4 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Azimut 26M and Sirena Yachts 88 offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 10 guests in 5 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 86 features a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a walk-in wardrobe and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. Equivalently, the Extra Yachts 86 Fast also offer 4 cabins, but with facilities for 8 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family vacations.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Sirena Yachts 88 impresses with its extensive range of 2,100 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Azimut 26M allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Azimut 26M is especially impressive, with a top speed of 28 knots and cruising speed of 24 knots. The Azimut 26M has an impressive gross tonnage of 130GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Extra 86 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.
