Azimut 66 (Mk1, 2016 - 2020) Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose a yacht on its characteristics (incidentally the 66 has won 1 award, most recently for "Most Technologically Advanced Yacht (50-80ft)"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the planing hull of the 66 delivers speeds of up to 32 knots.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Azimut 66 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 4 cabin layout option. Most of its rivals, including the Princess S65 and Azimut 66, share the same 8 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The 66 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a dressing table is a standout. The Horizon E62 and Greenline 65 OC, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 6 guests in 3 cabins, still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Azimut 66 delivers a steady 26 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Princess S65 with an impressive cruising speed of 30 knots or the Sessa Marine Fly68 Gullwing with a respectable cruising speed of 31 knots. The Azimut 66 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 Gulf Craft 65 SUV, with the slowest cruising speed of 15 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 Greenline 65 OC impresses with its extensive range of 2,000 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Gulf Craft 70 and Galeon 640 Fly all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Sessa Marine Fly68 Gullwing focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 31 knots. Meanwhile, the Princess S65 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 38 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Azimut 66 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.
