Pershing 62 (Gen 2, 2013 - 2021) 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 62 delivers speeds of up to 48 knots.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Pershing 62 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 Astondoa 677 Coupé 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 62 features a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom. Equivalently, the Sunseeker 57 and Princess V60 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 Pershing 62 leads the way with an impressive cruising speed of 42 knots thanks to its twin 1,400hp MAN V12-1400 engines and maximum speed of 48 knots at 2,300rpm. Closely followed by, the Princess V60 with a respectable cruising speed of 30 knots. The Astondoa 677 Coupé also impresses with a cruising speed of 25 knots. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Sunseeker 57, with the slowest cruising speed of 21 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 Sunseeker 57 impresses with its extensive range of 325 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Sunseeker 57 and Sunseeker 60 Evo all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Sunseeker 60 Evo focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 30 knots. Meanwhile, the Princess V60 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 38 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Pershing 62 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.
