Benetti Fast 125 (2015 - 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 Fast 125 has won 2 awards, most recently for "Best Power 24m-40m"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the fast displacement hull of the Fast 125 delivers speeds of up to 24 knots. Some may even choose their yacht based upon features such as: five cabins with main deck owner’s suite, semi-custom build, azipod drives for 24knots, skylounge with private deck and large sundeck and foredeck lounge.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Benetti Fast 125 which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 10 guests with its 5 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Azimut Grande Trideck and Astondoa 125 offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 12 guests in 6 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 Fast 125 features a master cabin with a dressing room, a study and full-standing headroom and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. Equivalently, the Sanlorenzo 40 and Westport Yachts W130 also offer 5 cabins, but with facilities for 10 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family or group vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Benetti Fast 125 delivers a steady 18 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Sanlorenzo SL118 with an impressive cruising speed of 26 knots or the Sanlorenzo SL120A with a respectable cruising speed of 23 knots. The Benetti Fast 125 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 Custom Line 37, with the slowest cruising speed of 13 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 RP120 impresses with its extensive range of 3,300 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Westport Yachts 125, Gulf Craft 122, Azimut Grande Trideck, Westport Yachts W130, Gulf Craft 125, Horizon RP120 and Sanlorenzo SL120A all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Sanlorenzo SL118 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 30 knots and cruising speed of 26 knots. The Sunseeker 131 has an impressive gross tonnage of 348GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Benetti Fast 125 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.

When considering a new (or indeed used) yacht, it’s certainly important to wonder about the alternatives in the Benetti Class range or indeed its competitors. Browse our hand-picked selection of 15 competing models.
