Outer Reef 3200 Trident 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 3200 delivers speeds of up to 21 knots.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Outer Reef Yachts 3200 which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 9 guests with its 4 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Gulf Craft 110 offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 14 guests in 6 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 3200 features a master cabin with a his and hers en-suite bathroom, a study and full-standing headroom and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. Equivalently, the Sanlorenzo SD112 and Custom Line 33 are also only designed for smaller groups offering up to 5 cabins, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family or group vacations.

Performance

In terms of cruising performance, the Outer Reef Yachts 3200 leads the way with an impressive cruising speed of 17 knots thanks to its twin 1,136hp Caterpillar C18 ACERT E02 HP - U.S. EPA Tier 3 and IMO Tier II engines and maximum speed of 21 knots at 2,300rpm. Closely followed by, the Gulf Craft 110 with a respectable cruising speed of 16 knots. The Sanlorenzo SD112 also impresses with a cruising speed of 11 knots. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Custom Line 33, 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 Sanlorenzo SD112 impresses with its extensive range of 2,750 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Gulf Craft 110 allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Gulf Craft 110 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 22 knots and cruising speed of 16 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Outer Reef 3200 Trident 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.
