Sea Ray Sundancer 350 (Gen 3, 2013 - 2021) 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 Sundancer 350 delivers speeds of up to 36 knots.

Accommodation

The Sea Ray Sundancer 350 offers a versatile accommodation layout that caters to both day boating enthusiasts and those who may occasionally seek overnight or weekend getaways. Additionally, its maximum guest capacity of six ensures there's ample space for a small group of friends or family, making it suitable for day outings with the possibility of occasional overnight or weekend use. Conversely, some of its rivals like the Bavaria Yachts S33 Open, Bavaria Yachts S30 Open, Jeanneau 30 and Sessa Marine C35 with their limited cabin configurations for four guests, may be better suited for day boating enthusiasts who prioritize open-water adventures and occasional overnight escapes.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Sea Ray Sundancer 350 delivers a steady 28 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Bavaria Yachts S30 Open with an impressive cruising speed of 35 knots. The Sea Ray Sundancer 350 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 Sessa Marine C35, with the slowest cruising speed of 27 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 Sea Ray Sundancer 350 Coupé impresses with its extensive range of 250 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Jeanneau 30 allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Bavaria Yachts S30 Open is especially impressive, with a top speed of 38 knots and cruising speed of 35 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Sea Ray Sundancer 350 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.
