Tankoa Bolide 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 displacement hull of the Bolide delivers speeds of up to 18 knots.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Tankoa Yachts Bolide which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 12 guests with its 6 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Benetti 68M offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 16 guests in 8 cabins, making them better choices for those seeking to maximise the number of family and friends they can sleep onboard. However, for maximum comfort for the owner, the Bolide features a master cabin with a his and hers en-suite bathroom, a skylight and full-standing headroom and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. Equivalently, the Amels 242 also offer 6 cabins, but with facilities for 12 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family or group vacations.

Performance

In terms of cruising performance, the Tankoa Yachts Bolide leads the way with an impressive cruising speed of 16 knots thanks to its twin 2,682hp Caterpillar 3516C C04 engines and maximum speed of 18 knots at 1,600rpm. Closely followed by, the Amels 220 with a respectable cruising speed of 12 knots. The Benetti 68M also impresses with a cruising speed of 14 knots. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Amels 242, with the slowest cruising speed of 12 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 shallow draft of the Benetti 68M allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Benetti 68M focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 14 knots. Meanwhile, the Amels 220 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 17 knots. The Amels 242 has an impressive gross tonnage of 1,790GT, the largest of the competitors here.
