If hosting guests overnight is your top priority, then the Solaris Power 60 Coupé offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 6 guests with its 3 cabin layout option. Nonetheless, competitors like the Astondoa 677 Coupé have a slight edge in guest accommodation, with the capacity to sleep up to 8 guests in 4 cabins. This makes them more suitable for those looking to maximize the number of family and friends accommodated onboard. The 60 Coupé benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a sofa is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Palm Beach 50 Express and Palm Beach 60 are tailored for somewhat smaller groups of 4 guests yet can still deliver an outstanding level of comfort for short trips and overnight vacations.
When it comes to cruising speed, the Solaris Power 60 Coupé has been designed for those not in a hurry, with the slowest cruising speed of the group at 28 knots and a top speed of 36 knots. The Solaris Power 60 Coupé 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 Palm Beach 60 which has an impressive cruising speed of 35 knots powered by its twin 1,000hp Volvo Penta D13-IPS1350 engines and can reach a top speed of 45 knots. This is closely followed by the Palm Beach 50 Express with a notable cruising speed of 35 knots and top speed of 42 knots.
Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Palm Beach PB55 impresses with its extensive range of 941 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Palm Beach 50 Express and Palm Beach PB55 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Palm Beach PB55 focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 40 knots. Meanwhile, the Palm Beach 60 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 45 knots.
Despite stiff competition, the Solaris Power 60 Coupé 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.
