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 V80 delivers speeds of up to 25 knots.
If your priority is guest accommodation then the Horizon V80 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 4 cabin layout option. Most of its rivals, including the Azimut 80 and Sanlorenzo SL78, share the same 8 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The V80 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom and a dressing table is a standout. The Horizon E81, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 6 guests in 3 cabins, still offers an exceptional level of comfort for family getaways.
When it comes to cruising speed, the Horizon V80 holds its own at a respectable 21 knots and a maximum speed of 25 knots. However, the Sanlorenzo SL78 surpasses this slightly with an impressive cruising speed of 25 knots signalling a lean towards more dynamic performance capabilities. The Azimut 80 also impresses with a cruising speed of 24 knots. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Riviera 78 Enclosed Bridge Deck, with the slowest cruising speed of 7 knots, emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and enjoying the journey over the destination.
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 Gulf Craft 75 SUV and Maritimo M75 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Sanlorenzo SL78 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 30 knots and cruising speed of 25 knots.
Despite stiff competition, the Horizon V80 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.
