Numarine 45 XP 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 displacement hull of the 45 XP delivers speeds of up to 16 knots.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Numarine 45 XP which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 12 guests with its 5 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Gulf Craft 140 offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 14 guests in 7 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 45 XP features a master cabin with a his and hers en-suite bathroom, a dressing room and a study and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. Equivalently, the Sanlorenzo 46 and Sanlorenzo Alloy also offer 5 cabins, but with facilities for 10 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family or group vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Numarine 45 XP delivers a steady 15 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Sanlorenzo Alloy with an impressive cruising speed of 18 knots or the Gulf Craft 140 with a respectable cruising speed of 16 knots. The Numarine 45 XP 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 500Exp, 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 Cantiere delle Marche RJ 155 impresses with its extensive range of 4,000 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Gulf Craft 140 allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Sanlorenzo Alloy is especially impressive, with a top speed of 21 knots and cruising speed of 18 knots. The Sanlorenzo 500Exp has an impressive gross tonnage of 499GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Numarine 45 XP 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.

When considering a new (or indeed used) yacht, it’s certainly important to wonder about the alternatives in the Numarine Explorer range or indeed its competitors. Browse our hand-picked selection of 7 competing models.
