Fairline Phantom 65 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 Phantom 65 has won 2 awards, most recently for "Sportscruisers (over 45ft)"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the planing hull of the Phantom 65 delivers speeds of up to 35 knots.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Fairline Phantom 65 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 4 cabin layout option. Most of its rivals, including the Princess S65 and Fairline Targa 63 GTO, share the same 8 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The Phantom 65 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a walk-in wardrobe is a standout. The Azimut S6 and Riva 66' Ribelle, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 6 guests in 3 cabins, still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Fairline Phantom 65 delivers a steady 26 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Princess S62 with an impressive cruising speed of 36 knots or the Princess S66 with a respectable cruising speed of 36 knots. The Fairline Phantom 65 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 Galeon 650, with the slowest cruising speed of 21 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 Fairline 68 impresses with its extensive range of 1,584 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Galeon 650 allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Princess S62 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 38 knots and cruising speed of 36 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Fairline Phantom 65 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.
