Extra X90 Fast 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 planing hull of the X90 Fast delivers speeds of up to 30 knots.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Extra Yachts X90 Fast 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 Seadeck 9 and Ferretti Yachts INFYNITO 90 offer the same total guests sleeping overnight, but with 5 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 X90 Fast 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 Riva 88' Florida and Princess S78 also offer 4 cabins, but with facilities for 8 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Extra Yachts X90 Fast delivers a steady 24 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Sanlorenzo SP92 with an impressive cruising speed of knots or the Riva 88' Florida with a respectable cruising speed of 35 knots. The Extra Yachts X90 Fast emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed, catering to a different set of priorities. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Ferretti Yachts INFYNITO 90, with the slowest cruising speed of 17 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 Ferretti Yachts INFYNITO 90 impresses with its extensive range of 1,200 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Sanlorenzo SP92 allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Princess V78 focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 37 knots. Meanwhile, the Sanlorenzo SP92 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 40 knots. The Sanlorenzo SP92 has an impressive gross tonnage of 199GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Extra X90 Fast 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.
