Monte Carlo Yachts MCY 105 Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose a yacht on its characteristics (incidentally the 105 has won a staggering 5 awards, most recently for "Best of the Best"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the planing hull of the 105 delivers speeds of up to 27 knots.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Monte Carlo Yachts 105 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 10 guests with its 5 cabin layout option. Most of its rivals, including the Riva 100' Corsaro and Sanlorenzo SL106, share the same 10 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The 105 benefits from a master cabin with a his and hers en-suite bathroom, a his and hers dressing room and a dressing table is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Horizon E98 and Westport Yachts 112, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 8 guests in 4 cabins, still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Monte Carlo Yachts 105 delivers a steady 24 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Maiora 35 Exuma with an impressive cruising speed of 28 knots or the Sanlorenzo SL106 with a respectable cruising speed of 25 knots. The Monte Carlo Yachts 105 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 Westport Yachts 112 impresses with its extensive range of 2,000 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Maiora 35 Exuma allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Maiora 35 Exuma is especially impressive, with a top speed of 33 knots and cruising speed of 28 knots. The Maiora 35 Exuma has an impressive gross tonnage of 299GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Monte Carlo Yachts MCY 105 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.
