Outer Reef Yachts 800 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 800 Motoryacht delivers speeds of up to 22 knots.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Outer Reef Yachts 800 MY 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 Grand Banks 85 Skylounge and Nordhavn N80 offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 9 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 800 MY features a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a private stairwell and hull side windows and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. Equivalently, the Outer Reef Yachts 820 CPMY and Nordhavn N76 also offer 3 cabins, but with facilities for 6 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

In terms of cruising performance, the Outer Reef Yachts 800 MY leads the way with an impressive cruising speed of 18 knots thanks to its twin 750hp John Deere 6135SFM85 - M5 engines and maximum speed of 22 knots at 2,200rpm. Closely followed by, the Apreamare 82 with a respectable cruising speed of knots. The Outer Reef Yachts 820 CPMY also impresses with a cruising speed of 12 knots. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Outer Reef Yachts 820 CPMY, with the slowest cruising speed of 12 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 shallow draft of the Grand Banks 85 Skylounge allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels.
