Outer Reef 640 Azure Motoryacht 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 semi-displacement hull of the 640 Azure Motoryacht delivers speeds of up to 20 knots.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Outer Reef Yachts 640 Azure Motoryacht 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 Gulf Craft 65 SUV and Azimut 66 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 640 Azure Motoryacht features a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom and a walk-in wardrobe. Equivalently, the Fleming Yachts Fleming 65 and Gulf Craft 65 also offer 3 cabins, but with facilities for 6 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Outer Reef Yachts 640 Azure Motoryacht has been designed for those not in a hurry, with the slowest cruising speed of the group at 10 knots and a top speed of 20 knots.
