Prestige 630 (2017 - 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 630 delivers speeds of up to 29 knots.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Prestige 630 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 Pearl Yachts 62 and Gulf Craft 65 SUV 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 630 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 Azimut Fly 60 and Gulf Craft 65 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 Prestige 630 delivers a steady 22 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Princess F62 with an impressive cruising speed of 30 knots or the Pearl Yachts 62 with a respectable cruising speed of 30 knots. The Prestige 630 emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed, catering to a different set of priorities. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Gulf Craft 65 SUV, with the slowest cruising speed of 15 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 Gulf Craft 65 SUV impresses with its extensive range of 1,300 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Gulf Craft 62 and Cruisers Yachts 60 Fly all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Princess F62 focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 30 knots. Meanwhile, the Princess F62 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 36 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Prestige 630 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.
