Gulf Craft Majesty 62 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 62 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 planing hull of the 62 delivers speeds of up to 25 knots.
Accommodation
If your priority is guest accommodation then the Gulf Craft 62 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 7 guests with its 4 cabin layout option. Some of its rivals, including the Princess F62 and Absolute 64 FLY, share the same 7 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The 62 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a dressing table is a standout. The Princess S60 and Azimut Fly 60, 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 Gulf Craft 62 delivers a steady 20 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Princess S60 with an impressive cruising speed of 28 knots or the Princess F62 with a respectable cruising speed of 30 knots. The Gulf Craft 62 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 Outer Reef Yachts 620 Trident Evo, with the slowest cruising speed of 18 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 Maritimo M59 impresses with its extensive range of 2,500 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Galeon 640 Fly, Galeon 560 Fly, Azimut Fly 62 and Outer Reef Yachts 620 Trident Evo all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Princess F62 focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 30 knots. Meanwhile, the Princess S60 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 38 knots.
Summary
Despite stiff competition, the Gulf Craft Majesty 62 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.
