Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice.
If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Heesen 4200 which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 10 guests with its 5 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Gulf Craft 140 offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 14 guests in 7 cabins, making them better choices for those seeking to maximise the number of family and friends they can sleep onboard. However, for maximum comfort for the owner, the 4200 features a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a study and a walk-in wardrobe and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. Equivalently, the Sanlorenzo 40 and Horizon P130 also offer 5 cabins, but with facilities for 10 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family or group vacations.
Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Horizon P130 impresses with its extensive range of 4,606 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Gulf Craft 125, Benetti Oasis 40M, Ocean Alexander 135, Horizon P130 and Gulf Craft 140 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Sanlorenzo 40 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 27 knots and cruising speed of 24 knots. The Sanlorenzo Alloy has an impressive gross tonnage of 490GT, the largest of the competitors here.
Despite stiff competition, the Heesen 4200 Aluminium 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.
