Fairline Squadron 68 (Gen 2, 2019 - 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 68 has won 1 award, most recently for "Best Interior Design"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the planing hull of the 68 delivers speeds of up to 32 knots.
Accommodation
If your priority is guest accommodation then the Fairline 68 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 4 cabin layout option. Most of its rivals, including the Princess F62 and Azimut 66, share the same 8 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The 68 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a dressing table is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Greenline 65 OC and Greenline 68, 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 68 holds its own at a respectable 28 knots and a maximum speed of 32 knots. However, the Sessa Marine Fly68 Gullwing surpasses this slightly with an impressive cruising speed of 31 knots signalling a lean towards more dynamic performance capabilities. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Azimut 66, 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 Riviera 64 impresses with its extensive range of 2,480 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Gulf Craft 70 and Galeon 650 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Sessa Marine Fly68 Gullwing is especially impressive, with a top speed of 37 knots and cruising speed of 31 knots.
Summary
Despite stiff competition, the Fairline Squadron 68 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.
