Maritimo M64 (Gen 1, 2016 - 2020) 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 planing hull of the M64 delivers speeds of up to 31 knots.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Maritimo M64 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 4 cabin layout option. Some of its rivals, including the Princess F62 and Gulf Craft 62, share the same 8 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The M64 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a dressing table is a standout. The Gulf Craft 65 and Riviera 57, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 6 guests in 3 cabins, still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Maritimo M64 delivers a steady 23 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Princess F62 with an impressive cruising speed of 30 knots. The Maritimo M64 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 Gulf Craft 65 SUV, with the slowest cruising speed of 15 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 Gulf Craft 65 SUV impresses with its extensive range of 1,300 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Gulf Craft 62 allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Princess F62 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 36 knots and cruising speed of 30 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Maritimo M64 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.
