Sunseeker Predator 72 (2005 - 2009) 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 72 delivers speeds of up to 38 knots.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Sunseeker 72 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 4 cabin layout option. Some of its rivals, including the Sunseeker 74 and Sunseeker 74, share the same 8 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The 72 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a walk-in wardrobe is a standout. The Pershing 74 and Princess V72, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 7 guests in 3 cabins, still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Sunseeker 72 delivers a steady 25 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Pershing with an impressive cruising speed of 40 knots. The Sunseeker 72 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 Sunseeker 68 MKII, 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 Sunseeker 74 Sport Yacht XPS impresses with its extensive range of 900 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Pershing 74 and Princess V72 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Pershing is especially impressive, with a top speed of 45 knots and cruising speed of 40 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Sunseeker Predator 72 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.
