Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose a yacht on its characteristics (incidentally the 60 has won 1 award, most recently for "Best Asia-built motor yacht (15-24m)"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the semi-displacement hull of the 60 delivers speeds of up to 31 knots. Some may even choose their yacht based upon features such as: iconic style, 36-knot performance, 2,500-mile range at 10 knots, good fuel economy at moderate (planing) speed, excellent seakeeping and stability, spacious flybridge with tender storage and crane and status symbol among yachting connoisseurs.
If hosting guests overnight is your top priority, then the Grand Banks GB60 Flybridge offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 3 cabin layout option. Nonetheless, competitors like the Grand Banks GB62 Flybridge and Riviera Belize 66 have a slight edge in guest accommodation, with the capacity to sleep up to 8 guests in 4 cabins. This makes them more suitable for those looking to maximize the number of family and friends accommodated onboard. The GB60 Flybridge benefits from a master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a walk-in wardrobe is a standout. The Palm Beach 60 is tailored for somewhat smaller groups of 4 guests yet can still deliver an outstanding level of comfort for short trips and overnight vacations.
When it comes to cruising speed, the Grand Banks GB60 Flybridge delivers a steady 25 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Palm Beach 60 with an impressive cruising speed of 35 knots or the Palm Beach PB65 Sedan with a respectable cruising speed of 30 knots. The Grand Banks GB60 Flybridge 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 Fleming Yachts Fleming 55, with the slowest cruising speed of 17 knots, emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and enjoying the journey over the destination.
Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Fleming Yachts 60 impresses with its extensive range of 2,615 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Palm Beach 60 allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Palm Beach 60 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 45 knots and cruising speed of 35 knots.
Despite stiff competition, the Grand Banks GB60 Flybridge 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.
