Outer Reef 860 Deluxbridge Skylounge 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 860 Deluxbridge delivers speeds of up to 16 knots.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Outer Reef Yachts 860 Deluxbridge 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 Nordhavn N86 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 860 Deluxbridge 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 880 CPMY and Outer Reef Yachts 860 CPMY 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 860 Deluxbridge has been designed for those not in a hurry, with the slowest cruising speed of the group at 12 knots and a top speed of 16 knots. The Outer Reef Yachts 860 Deluxbridge 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 Outer Reef Yachts 880 CPMY which has an impressive cruising speed of 21 knots powered by its twin 750hp John Deere 6135SFM85 - M5 engines and can reach a top speed of 25 knots.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Outer Reef Yachts 860 CPMY impresses with its extensive range of 3,537 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Outer Reef Yachts 880 CPMY, Outer Reef Yachts 860 CPMY and Outer Reef Yachts 830 Motoryacht all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Outer Reef Yachts 880 CPMY is especially impressive, with a top speed of 25 knots and cruising speed of 21 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Outer Reef 860 Deluxbridge Skylounge Motoryacht 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.
