Cantiere delle Marche Flexplorer 146/3 Rivals

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Cantiere delle Marche Flexplorer 146/3 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 Cantiere delle Marche Flexplorer 146/4 and Bering Yachts B145 offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 14 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 Flexplorer 146/3 features a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a study and a walk-in wardrobe and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. Equivalently, the Nordhavn N148 also offer 5 cabins, but with facilities for 12 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family or group vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Cantiere delle Marche Flexplorer 146/3 has been designed for those not in a hurry, with the slowest cruising speed of the group at 10 knots and a top speed of 14 knots.

The title for the fastest cruising speed goes to the Bering Yachts B145 which has an impressive cruising speed of 12 knots powered by its twin 1,200hp Caterpillar C32 C ACERT B02 - IMO Tier II/IMO Tier III engines and can reach a top speed of 15 knots.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Nordhavn N148 impresses with its extensive range of 6,000 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Cantiere delle Marche Flexplorer 146/4 allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Bering Yachts B145 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 15 knots and cruising speed of 12 knots.
