Nordhavn 72 (2005 - 2021) Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some may even choose their yacht based upon features such as: forward or aft pilothouse designs, full-beam owner’s and vip guest cabin, bulbous bow option for better fuel economy and single or twin engine options.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Nordhavn N72 which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 6 guests with its 3 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Nordhavn N71 offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 8 guests in 4 cabins, making them better choices for those seeking to maximise the number of family and friends they can sleep onboard. However, for maximum comfort for the owner, the N72 features a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a dressing table and a sofa and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. Equivalently, the Nordhavn N76 and Outer Reef Yachts 700 / 720 Motoryacht also offer 3 cabins, but with facilities for 6 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family vacations.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Bering Yachts B72 impresses with its extensive range of 4,000 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Outer Reef Yachts 700 / 720 Motoryacht, Outer Reef Yachts 740 Deluxbridge and Outer Reef Yachts 720 Deluxbridge all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Outer Reef Yachts 720 Deluxbridge focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 19 knots. Meanwhile, the Outer Reef Yachts 700 / 720 Motoryacht offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 22 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Nordhavn 72 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.
