Azimut S10 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 S10 has won 1 award, most recently for "Best Exterior Design"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the planing hull of the S10 delivers speeds of up to 35 knots. Some may even choose their yacht based upon features such as: five deck lounges, four excellent cabins, sophisticated multi-zone inside-outside salon, 35knots top speed, 350nm at 30 knots and impeccable carbon-fibre performance build and design.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Azimut S10 which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 4 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Riva 100' Corsaro offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 10 guests in 5 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 S10 features a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a walk-in wardrobe and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. Equivalently, the Riva 88' Domino Super and Pershing 9X also offer 4 cabins, but with facilities for 8 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Azimut S10 delivers a steady 30 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Pershing 9X with an impressive cruising speed of 38 knots or the Riva 88' Domino Super with a respectable cruising speed of 35 knots. The Azimut S10 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 Riva 100' Corsaro, 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 Pershing 9X impresses with its extensive range of 380 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Pershing 9X allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Pershing 9X is especially impressive, with a top speed of 42 knots and cruising speed of 38 knots. The Pershing 9X has an impressive gross tonnage of 115GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Azimut S10 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.
