Princess S62 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 S62 delivers speeds of up to 38 knots.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Princess S62 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 Fairline Phantom 65 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 S62 features a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a dressing table. Equivalently, the Galeon 560 and Prestige 630S 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 Princess S62 leads the way with an impressive cruising speed of 36 knots thanks to its twin 1,200hp MAN V8-1200 engines and maximum speed of 38 knots at 2,300rpm. Closely followed by, the Fairline Phantom 65 with a respectable cruising speed of knots. The Sunseeker 65 also impresses with a cruising speed of 30 knots. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Prestige 630S, with the slowest cruising speed of 19 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 65 impresses with its extensive range of 900 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Galeon 560 allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Sunseeker 65 focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 30 knots. Meanwhile, the Fairline Phantom 65 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 35 knots.
