Sunseeker 120 Yacht 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 120 delivers speeds of up to 20 knots.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Sunseeker 120 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 12 guests with its 6 cabin layout option. Some of its rivals, including the Numarine 37 XP and Benetti 37M, share the same 12 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The 120 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, full-standing headroom and a walk-in wardrobe is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Custom Line 37 and Custom Line 120, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 10 guests in 5 cabins, still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family or group getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Sunseeker 120 has been designed for those not in a hurry, with the slowest cruising speed of the group at 10 knots and a top speed of 20 knots. The Sunseeker 120 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 Pershing GTX116 which has an impressive cruising speed of 29 knots powered by its 3 x 1,800hp MAN V12-1800 engines and can reach a top speed of 35 knots. This is closely followed by the Sanlorenzo SL120A with a notable cruising speed of 23 knots and top speed of 27 knots.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Numarine 37 XP impresses with its extensive range of 6,000 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Pershing GTX116 allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Pershing GTX116 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 35 knots and cruising speed of 29 knots. The Numarine 37 XP has an impressive gross tonnage of 499GT, the largest of the competitors here.
