Azimut Grande 27M 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 27M has won 2 awards, most recently for "Best Motor Yacht Over 55’"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the planing hull of the 27M delivers speeds of up to 28 knots. Some may even choose their yacht based upon features such as: spectacular main deck owner’s cabin, massive sections of glass across interior, fast cruising yacht, inspired italian style inside and out and four cabins.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Azimut 27M offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 10 guests with its 5 cabin layout option. Some of its rivals, including the Princess Y88 and Monte Carlo Yachts 86, share the same 10 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The 27M benefits from a master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a dressing room and a dressing table is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Azimut 80 and Riva 88' Domino Super, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 8 guests in 4 cabins, still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Azimut 27M delivers a steady 26 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Riva 88' Domino Super with an impressive cruising speed of 35 knots or the Ferretti Yachts Ferretti 860 with a respectable cruising speed of 27 knots. The Azimut 27M 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 Horizon FD85, 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 Horizon FD85 impresses with its extensive range of 1,780 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Azimut 26M allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Riva 88' Domino Super is especially impressive, with a top speed of 40 knots and cruising speed of 35 knots. The Azimut 26M has an impressive gross tonnage of 130GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Azimut Grande 27M 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.
