Prestige 460 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 460 delivers speeds of up to 32 knots.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Prestige 460 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 6 guests with its 3 cabin layout option. Most of its rivals, including the Ferretti Yachts 450 and Rodman Muse 44, share the same 6 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The 460 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a sofa is a standout. The Princess F45, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 4 guests in 2 cabins, still offers an exceptional level of comfort for short trips and overnight getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Prestige 460 has been designed for those not in a hurry, with the slowest cruising speed of the group at 23 knots and a top speed of 32 knots. The Prestige 460 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 Rodman Muse 44 which has an impressive cruising speed of 26 knots powered by its twin 380hp Volvo Penta D6-IPS500 engines and can reach a top speed of 32 knots. This is closely followed by the Princess F45 with a notable cruising speed of 27 knots and top speed of 31 knots.
