Princess Y72 Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose a yacht on its characteristics (incidentally the Y72 has won 1 award, most recently for "Flybridge (over 60ft)"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the planing hull of the Y72 delivers speeds of up to 35 knots.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Princess Y72 which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 4 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Princess S72 offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 10 guests in 5 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 Y72 features a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a walk-in wardrobe. Equivalently, the Azimut 72 and Numarine 70 also offer 4 cabins, but with facilities for 8 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Princess Y72 delivers a steady 30 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Princess S72 with an impressive cruising speed of 34 knots. The Princess Y72 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 Monte Carlo Yachts 70, with the slowest cruising speed of 21 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 Fairline 68 impresses with its extensive range of 1,584 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Gulf Craft Majesty 72 allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Princess S72 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 36 knots and cruising speed of 34 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Princess Y72 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.
