Moonen 122 Martinique 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 fast displacement hull of the 122 Martinique delivers speeds of up to 17 knots.

Accommodation

If hosting guests overnight is your top priority, then the Moonen 122 Martinique offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 10 guests with its 5 cabin layout option. Nonetheless, competitors like the Horizon FD130 Tri-Deck and Azimut Grande Trideck have a slight edge in guest accommodation, with the capacity to sleep up to 12 guests in 6 cabins. This makes them more suitable for those looking to maximize the number of family and friends accommodated onboard. The 122 Martinique benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, full-standing headroom and a walk-in wardrobe is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Dynamiq GTT 115 is tailored for somewhat smaller groups of 8 guests yet can still deliver an outstanding level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Moonen 122 Martinique delivers a steady 14 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Sanlorenzo SL120A with an impressive cruising speed of 23 knots or the Azimut Grande Trideck with a respectable cruising speed of 20 knots. The Moonen 122 Martinique 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 Numarine 37 XP, with the slowest cruising speed of 14 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 Numarine 37 XP impresses with its extensive range of 6,000 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Dynamiq GTT 115, Westport Yachts 125, Azimut Grande Trideck and Benetti Motopanfilo 37M all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Sanlorenzo SL120A is especially impressive, with a top speed of 27 knots and cruising speed of 23 knots. The Numarine 37 XP has an impressive gross tonnage of 499GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Moonen 122 Martinique 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.
