Ferretti 720 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 720 delivers speeds of up to 32 knots. Some may even choose their yacht based upon features such as: smart, high-quality flybridge design, four cabins, 30-knot performance, full-beam owner's suite and social decks bow to stern.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Ferretti Yachts 720 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 4 cabin layout option. The 720 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a walk-in wardrobe is a standout. The Azimut 72 and Riviera 68, 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 Ferretti Yachts 720 holds its own at a respectable 28 knots and a maximum speed of 32 knots. However, the Princess F70 surpasses this slightly with an impressive cruising speed of 27 knots signalling a lean towards more dynamic performance capabilities. The Princess Y72 also impresses with a cruising speed of 30 knots. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Gulf Craft 70, with the slowest cruising speed of 20 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 Princess Y72 impresses with its extensive range of 1,500 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Gulf Craft 70 allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Princess Y72 focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 30 knots. Meanwhile, the Princess F70 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 36 knots.
