Sunseeker 42M Ocean (2021 - 2022) 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 semi-displacement hull of the 42M Ocean delivers speeds of up to 23 knots. Some may even choose their yacht based upon features such as: full beach club, tri deck design, spectacular owner's suite, 23knots top speed + 3,200 range and semi-custom build gives options on layout and finish.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Sunseeker 42M Ocean offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 10 guests with its 5 cabin layout option. The 42M Ocean benefits from a master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a study and full-standing headroom is a standout. The Sanlorenzo 40 and Sunseeker 40M, 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 42M Ocean delivers a steady 20 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Sanlorenzo 40 with an impressive cruising speed of 24 knots. The Sunseeker 42M Ocean 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 Mangusta 43, with the slowest cruising speed of 13 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 Wider Yachts WIder 135 impresses with its extensive range of 4,700 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Gulf Craft 125, Wider Yachts WIder 135, Benetti Oasis 40M and Extra Yachts X130 Triplex all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Sanlorenzo 40 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 27 knots and cruising speed of 24 knots. The Heesen 42m has an impressive gross tonnage of 450GT, the largest of the competitors here.
