Sanlorenzo 44X-Space 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 displacement hull of the 44X-Space delivers speeds of up to 15 knots.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Sanlorenzo 44X-Space which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 12 guests with its 5 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Azimut Grande 44M and Sanlorenzo 500Exp offer the same total guests sleeping overnight, but with 6 cabins could be a better choice for those seeking to maximise the number of family and friends they can sleep onboard. However, for maximum comfort for the owner, the 44X-Space features a master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a dressing room and a study and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. Equivalently, the Mangusta 43 and Sanlorenzo Alloy also offer 5 cabins, but with facilities for 12 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family or group vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Sanlorenzo 44X-Space has been designed for those not in a hurry, with the slowest cruising speed of the group at 12 knots and a top speed of 15 knots. The Sanlorenzo 44X-Space emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and its target audience will be those who enjoy the journey over the destination. The title for the fastest cruising speed goes to the Sanlorenzo Alloy which has an impressive cruising speed of 18 knots powered by its twin 1,920hp MTU 12V 2000 M96L engines and can reach a top speed of 21 knots.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Mangusta 43 impresses with its extensive range of 4,500 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Moonen Marquis and Canados Oceanic 143 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Sanlorenzo Alloy is especially impressive, with a top speed of 21 knots and cruising speed of 18 knots. The Azimut Grande 44M has an impressive gross tonnage of 499GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Sanlorenzo 44X-Space 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.
