Sessa Marine C48 (Gen 1, 2010 - 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 C48 delivers speeds of up to 34 knots.

Accommodation

The Sessa Marine C48 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 four 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.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Sessa Marine C48 delivers a steady 25 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Windy Boats W46 with an impressive cruising speed of 31 knots or the Fairline 50 Open with a respectable cruising speed of 27 knots. The Sessa Marine C48 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 Sealine C530, 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 Princess V50 impresses with its extensive range of 545 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Sessa Marine C48, Sealine C530, Princess V50 Open and Princess V50 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Windy Boats W46 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 40 knots and cruising speed of 31 knots.
