Horizon E81 Skylounge Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Horizon E81 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 Sunseeker Ocean 156 and Ocean Alexander 27R offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 10 guests in 5 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 E81 features a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a study and hull side windows. Equivalently, the Horizon V80 and Grand Banks GB85 Skylounge are also only designed for smaller groups offering up to 4 cabins, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family vacations.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Riviera 78 Enclosed Bridge Deck impresses with its extensive range of 2,500 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Grand Banks GB85 Skylounge allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Princess X80 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 31 knots and cruising speed of 25 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Horizon E81 Skylounge 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.

When considering a new (or indeed used) yacht, it’s certainly important to wonder about the alternatives in the Horizon E Series range or indeed its competitors. Browse our hand-picked selection of 10 competing models.
