Princess V78 (Gen 2, 2019 - 2024) 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 V78 delivers speeds of up to 39 knots. Some may even choose their yacht based upon features such as: near 40-knot performance, four cabins with optional crew quarters, huge sunroof and versatile forward cockpit.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Princess V78 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 V78 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a private stairwell and hull side windows is a standout. The Riva 76' Bahamas and Riva 76' Perseo, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 6 guests in 3 cabins, still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Princess V78 holds its own at a respectable 37 knots and a maximum speed of 39 knots. However, the Pershing 82 surpasses this slightly with an impressive cruising speed of 42 knots signalling a lean towards more dynamic performance capabilities. The Pershing 8X also impresses with a cruising speed of 41 knots. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Extra Yachts X90 Fast, with the slowest cruising speed of 24 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 Extra Yachts X90 Fast impresses with its extensive range of 1,000 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Pershing 82 and Pershing 8X all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Pershing 82 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 50 knots and cruising speed of 42 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Princess V78 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.
