Horizon E62 (Gen 1, 2016 - 2021) Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the planing hull of the E62 delivers speeds of up to 25 knots.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Horizon E62 which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 6 guests with its 3 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Riviera 64 and Gulf Craft 65 SUV offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 8 guests in 4 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 E62 features a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a dressing table and a sofa. Equivalently, the Gulf Craft 65 and CL Yachts CLB65 also offer 3 cabins, but with facilities for 6 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Horizon E62 delivers a steady 22 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Princess F62 with an impressive cruising speed of 30 knots or the Ferretti Yachts 670 with a respectable cruising speed of 28 knots. The Horizon E62 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 Gulf Craft 65 SUV, with the slowest cruising speed of 15 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 Gulf Craft 65 SUV impresses with its extensive range of 1,300 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Gulf Craft 70 allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Princess F62 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 36 knots and cruising speed of 30 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Horizon E62 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.
