CL Yachts CLB65 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 CLB65 delivers speeds of up to 27 knots.

Accommodation

If hosting guests overnight is your top priority, then the CL Yachts CLB65 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 6 guests with its 3 cabin layout option. Nonetheless, competitors like the Schaefer Yachts Schaefer 660 and Monte Carlo Yachts 66 have a slight edge in guest accommodation, with the capacity to sleep up to 8 guests in 4 cabins. This makes them more suitable for those looking to maximize the number of family and friends accommodated onboard. The CLB65 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a dressing table is a standout. The Gulf Craft Majesty 62 M is tailored for somewhat smaller groups of 4 guests yet can still deliver an outstanding level of comfort for short trips and overnight vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the CL Yachts CLB65 delivers a steady 21 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 670 with a respectable cruising speed of 28 knots. The CL Yachts CLB65 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 65, with the slowest cruising speed of 17 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 Monte Carlo Yachts 66 impresses with its extensive range of 834 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Gulf Craft Majesty 62 M, Gulf Craft Majesty 60 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 32 knots and cruising speed of 30 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the CL Yachts CLB65 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.
