Horizon RP110 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 semi-displacement hull of the RP110 delivers speeds of up to 22 knots. Some may even choose their yacht based upon features such as: raised pilothouse design, main deck owner’s cabin, wide beam and 22 knot top speed.

Accommodation

If hosting guests overnight is your top priority, then the Horizon RP110 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 12 guests with its 5 cabin layout option. Nonetheless, competitors like the Gulf Craft 110 have a slight edge in guest accommodation, with the capacity to sleep up to 14 guests in 6 cabins. This makes them more suitable for those looking to maximize the number of family and friends accommodated onboard. The RP110 benefits from a master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a dressing room and a dressing table is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Westport Yachts 112 is tailored for somewhat smaller groups of 8 guests yet can still deliver an outstanding level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Horizon RP110 delivers a steady 18 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Westport Yachts 112 with an impressive cruising speed of 22 knots or the Custom Line 106 with a respectable cruising speed of 23 knots. The Horizon RP110 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 Custom Line 33, with the slowest cruising speed of 13 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 Sanlorenzo SD112 impresses with its extensive range of 2,750 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Johnson Yachts 110 and Gulf Craft 110 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Custom Line 106 focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 23 knots. Meanwhile, the Westport Yachts 112 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 26 knots. The Custom Line 33 has an impressive gross tonnage of 262GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Horizon RP110 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.
