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 displacement hull of the EP150 delivers speeds of up to 15 knots.
If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Horizon EP150 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 Tankoa Yachts T450 and Sanlorenzo 500Exp offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 12 guests in 6 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 EP150 features a master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a study and a dressing table and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. Equivalently, the Numarine 45 XP and Nordhavn N148 also offer 5 cabins, but with facilities for 12 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family or group vacations.
When it comes to cruising speed, the Horizon EP150 has been designed for those not in a hurry, with the slowest cruising speed of the group at 12 knots and a top speed of 15 knots. The Horizon EP150 emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and its target audience will be those who enjoy the journey over the destination. The title for the fastest cruising speed goes to the Numarine 45 XP which has an impressive cruising speed of 15 knots powered by its twin 1,300hp Caterpillar C32 C ACERT B03 - IMO Tier II engines and can reach a top speed of 16 knots.
Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Nordhavn N148 impresses with its extensive range of 6,000 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Westport Yachts W135 allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Numarine 45 XP is especially impressive, with a top speed of 16 knots and cruising speed of 15 knots. The Nordhavn N148 has an impressive gross tonnage of 499GT, the largest of the competitors here.
Despite stiff competition, the Horizon EP150 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.
