Horizon RP125 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 RP125 which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 11 guests with its 5 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Horizon FD130 Tri-Deck and Azimut Grande Trideck 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 RP125 features a master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a dressing room and a dressing table and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. Equivalently, the Sanlorenzo SD126 and Westport Yachts 125 also offer 5 cabins, but with facilities for 10 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family or group vacations.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Numarine 37 XP impresses with its extensive range of 6,000 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Westport Yachts 125 and Azimut Grande Trideck all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Sanlorenzo SL120A is especially impressive, with a top speed of 27 knots and cruising speed of 23 knots. The Numarine 37 XP has an impressive gross tonnage of 499GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Horizon RP125 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.
