Beneteau Monte Carlo 6 (2013 - 2021) 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 6 has won 1 award, most recently for "Flybridge (up to 60ft)"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the planing hull of the 6 delivers speeds of up to 28 knots.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Beneteau Yachts 6 which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 6 guests with its 3 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Gulf Craft 62 and Princess F62 offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 7 guests in 4 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 6 features a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom. Equivalently, the Azimut Fly 60 and Ferretti Yachts 550 also offer 3 cabins, but with facilities for 6 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Beneteau Yachts 6 delivers a steady 24 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Princess F62 with an impressive cruising speed of 30 knots or the Ferretti Yachts 550 with a respectable cruising speed of 26 knots. The Beneteau Yachts 6 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 62, with the slowest cruising speed of 20 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 Maritimo M59 impresses with its extensive range of 1,125 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Gulf Craft 62, Sunseeker 53 and Cruisers Yachts 60 Fly all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Princess F62 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 36 knots and cruising speed of 30 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Beneteau Monte Carlo 6 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.
