Beneteau Monte Carlo 6S (2013 - 2019) 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 planing hull of the 6S delivers speeds of up to 30 knots.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Beneteau Yachts 6S offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 6 guests with its 3 cabin layout option. The 6S benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom and hull side windows is a standout. The Princess S60 and Azimut S6, 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 Beneteau Yachts 6S has been designed for those not in a hurry, with the slowest cruising speed of the group at 26 knots and a top speed of 30 knots. The Beneteau Yachts 6S emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and its target audience will be those who enjoy the journey over the destination. The title for the fastest cruising speed goes to the Princess S62 which has an impressive cruising speed of 36 knots powered by its twin 1,200hp MAN V8-1200 engines and can reach a top speed of 38 knots. This is closely followed by the Princess S60 with a notable cruising speed of 28 knots and top speed of 38 knots.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Princess S60 impresses with its extensive range of 497 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Prestige 590S allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Princess S62 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 38 knots and cruising speed of 36 knots.
