Maritimo S70 (Gen 1, 2017 - 2020) Rivals

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Maritimo S70 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 12 guests with its 4 cabin layout option. Most of its rivals, including the Palm Beach PB70 and Riviera 645 SUV, share the same 12 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The S70 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a dressing table and a sofa is a standout. The Riviera Belize 66, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 6 guests in 3 cabins, still offers an exceptional level of comfort for family getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Maritimo S70 has been designed for those not in a hurry, with the slowest cruising speed of the group at 21 knots and a top speed of 30 knots. The Maritimo S70 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 Palm Beach 60 which has an impressive cruising speed of 35 knots powered by its twin 1,000hp Volvo Penta D13-IPS1350 engines and can reach a top speed of 45 knots. This is closely followed by the Palm Beach PB70 with a notable cruising speed of 32 knots and top speed of 38 knots.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Palm Beach PB70 impresses with its extensive range of 1,438 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Palm Beach 60 allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Palm Beach 60 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 45 knots and cruising speed of 35 knots.
