Monte Carlo Yachts MCY 86 (2013 - 2023) 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 86 has won 2 awards, most recently for "Best Worldwide Production Motor Yacht (25m and above)"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the planing hull of the 86 delivers speeds of up to 29 knots.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Monte Carlo Yachts 86 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 10 guests with its 5 cabin layout option. Some of its rivals, including the Azimut 27M and Horizon E81, share the same 10 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The 86 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a walk-in wardrobe and a dressing table is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Sunseeker 86 and Sanlorenzo SL78, 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 86 delivers a steady 24 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Pearl Yachts 82 with an impressive cruising speed of 24 knots or the Princess Y80 with a respectable cruising speed of 25 knots. The Monte Carlo Yachts 86 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 Sanlorenzo SX88, with the slowest cruising speed of 20 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 Sunseeker 86 impresses with its extensive range of 1,500 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The CL Yachts CLB88 and Sanlorenzo SX88 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Princess Y85 focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 30 knots. Meanwhile, the Pearl Yachts 82 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 32 knots. The Azimut 27M has an impressive gross tonnage of 145GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Monte Carlo Yachts MCY 86 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.
