Sessa Marine Fly42 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 Fly42 delivers speeds of up to 36 knots.

Accommodation

The Sessa Marine Fly42 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 Fly42 delivers a steady 26 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Regal Boats 42 Fly with an impressive cruising speed of 30 knots or the Bavaria Yachts R40 Fly with a respectable cruising speed of 27 knots. The Sessa Marine Fly42 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 Cranchi T43 Trawler, with the slowest cruising speed of 19 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 Galeon 420 Fly impresses with its extensive range of 1,019 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Astondoa 44 and Galeon 420 Fly all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Regal Boats 42 Fly is especially impressive, with a top speed of 37 knots and cruising speed of 30 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Sessa Marine Fly42 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.

When considering a new (or indeed used) yacht, it’s certainly important to wonder about the alternatives in the Sessa Marine Flybridge Line range or indeed its competitors. Browse our hand-picked selection of 15 competing models.
