Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice.
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 Schaefer Yachts Schaefer 660 and Princess F65 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, hull side windows and a dressing table. Equivalently, the CL Yachts CLB65 and Cranchi Sessantadue 62 also offer 3 cabins, but with facilities for 6 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family vacations.
Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Schaefer Yachts Schaefer 660 and CL Yachts CLB65 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Astondoa 66 focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 26 knots. Meanwhile, the Princess F65 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 33 knots.
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.
