Custom Line Navetta 30 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 Navetta 30 has won 1 award, most recently for "Best Layout (19.5-24m)"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the semi-displacement hull of the Navetta 30 delivers speeds of up to 15 knots.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Custom Line Navetta 30 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 10 guests with its 5 cabin layout option. Most of its rivals, including the Viking Yachts 93 and Princess X95, share the same 10 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The Navetta 30 benefits from a master cabin with a his and hers en-suite bathroom, full-standing headroom and a walk-in wardrobe is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Sanlorenzo SD90 and Extra Yachts X99 Fast, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 8 guests in 4 cabins, still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Custom Line Navetta 30 has been designed for those not in a hurry, with the slowest cruising speed of the group at 13 knots and a top speed of 15 knots. The Custom Line Navetta 30 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 Extra Yachts X99 Fast which has an impressive cruising speed of 28 knots powered by its twin 2,600hp MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines and can reach a top speed of 34 knots. This is closely followed by the Princess X95 with a notable cruising speed of 18 knots and top speed of 23 knots.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Princess X95 impresses with its extensive range of 2,000 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Extra Yachts X99 Fast and Gulf Craft Nomad 101 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Extra Yachts X99 Fast is especially impressive, with a top speed of 34 knots and cruising speed of 28 knots. The Extra Yachts X99 Fast has an impressive gross tonnage of 238GT, the largest of the competitors here.
