Numarine 70 Hardtop (2014 - 2022) 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 planing hull of the 70 delivers speeds of up to 36 knots.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Numarine 70 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 4 cabin layout option. Some of its rivals, including the Fairline 65 GTO and Sunseeker 65, share the same 8 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The 70 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a walk-in wardrobe is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Sunseeker 68 MKII and Pershing 7X, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 6 guests in 3 cabins, still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Numarine 70 has been designed for those not in a hurry, with the slowest cruising speed of the group at 28 knots and a top speed of 36 knots. The Numarine 70 emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and its target audience will be those who enjoy the journey over the destination. The title for the fastest cruising speed goes to the Pershing 7X which has an impressive cruising speed of 42 knots powered by its 1 x 1,800hp MAN V12-1800 engines and can reach a top speed of 50 knots. This is closely followed by the Riva 68' Diable with a notable cruising speed of 34 knots and top speed of 40 knots.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Sunseeker 65 impresses with its extensive range of 750 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Fairline 65 GTO allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Pershing 7X is especially impressive, with a top speed of 50 knots and cruising speed of 42 knots.
