Sanlorenzo SX112 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 SX112 has won 2 awards, most recently for "Outstanding Exterior Motor Yacht Design - 24m to 39.9m"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the fast displacement hull of the SX112 delivers speeds of up to 23 knots. Some may even choose their yacht based upon features such as: powerful suv style, four or five cabin layouts, upper deck lounge, cool open beach club stern and pod drives, 23knots top speed.
Accommodation
If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Sanlorenzo SX112 which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 10 guests with its 5 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Extra Yachts X115 and Gulf Craft Majesty 111 offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 12 guests in 6 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 SX112 features a master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a walk-in wardrobe and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. Equivalently, the Horizon FD110 Skyline and Azimut 36M also offer 5 cabins, but with facilities for 10 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family or group vacations.
Performance
In terms of cruising performance, the Sanlorenzo SX112 leads the way with an impressive cruising speed of 20 knots thanks to its twin 1,000hp Volvo Penta D13-IPS1350 engines and maximum speed of 23 knots at 2,400rpm. Closely followed by, the Gulf Craft Majesty 111 with a respectable cruising speed of 12 knots. The Extra Yachts X115 also impresses with a cruising speed of 14 knots. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Numarine 32 XP, with the slowest cruising speed of 12 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 Numarine 37 XP impresses with its extensive range of 6,000 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Gulf Craft Majesty 111 and Horizon FD110 Skyline all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Extra Yachts X115 focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 14 knots. Meanwhile, the Gulf Craft Majesty 111 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 20 knots. The Numarine 37 XP has an impressive gross tonnage of 499GT, the largest of the competitors here.
Summary
