Pershing GTX80 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 GTX80 delivers speeds of up to 34 knots.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Pershing GTX80 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 4 cabin layout option. Most of its rivals, including the Princess V78 and Numarine 78, share the same 8 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The GTX80 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a dressing table is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Wajer Wajer 77, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 6 guests in 3 cabins, still offers an exceptional level of comfort for family getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Pershing GTX80 has been designed for those not in a hurry, with the slowest cruising speed of the group at 28 knots and a top speed of 34 knots. The Pershing GTX80 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 Itama 75 which has an impressive cruising speed of 38 knots powered by its twin 1,800hp MTU 12V 2000 M96 engines and can reach a top speed of 42 knots.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Wajer Wajer 77 impresses with its extensive range of 400 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Numarine 78 and Itama 75 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Itama 75 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 42 knots and cruising speed of 38 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Pershing GTX80 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.
