Numarine 78 Hardtop (Gen 2, 2016 - 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 78 delivers speeds of up to 38 knots.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Numarine 78 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 4 cabin layout option. Most of its rivals, including the Sunseeker 74 and Princess V78, share the same 8 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The 78 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a dressing table is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Bluegame BGX73 and Sunseeker Predator 74 XPS, 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 78 delivers a steady 28 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Sunseeker Predator 74 XPS with an impressive cruising speed of knots. The Numarine 78 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 Bluegame BGX73, with the slowest cruising speed of 25 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 Bluegame BGX73 impresses with its extensive range of 806 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Numarine 78 allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Princess V78 focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 37 knots. Meanwhile, the Sunseeker Predator 74 XPS offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 40 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Numarine 78 Hardtop 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.
