Galeon 335 HTS 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 335 HTS has won 1 award, most recently for "Sportcruisers (up to 40ft)"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the planing hull of the 335 HTS delivers speeds of up to 30 knots.

Accommodation

The Galeon 335 HTS offers a versatile accommodation layout that caters to both day boating enthusiasts and those who may occasionally seek overnight or weekend getaways. Additionally, its maximum guest capacity of four ensures there's ample space for a small group of friends or family, making it suitable for day outings with the possibility of occasional overnight or weekend use. Conversely, some of its rivals like the Azimut 34, Bavaria Yachts S33 Open and Jeanneau 30 with their simpler one cabin configurations may be better suited for day boating enthusiasts who prioritize open-water adventures and occasional overnight escapes.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Galeon 335 HTS holds its own at a respectable 26 knots and a maximum speed of 30 knots. However, the Sea Ray Sundancer 350 Coupé surpasses this slightly with an impressive cruising speed of 28 knots signalling a lean towards more dynamic performance capabilities. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Jeanneau 33, with the slowest cruising speed of 25 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 Azimut 34 impresses with its extensive range of 896 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Jeanneau 30, Galeon 305 HTS and Galeon 310 HTC all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Sea Ray Sundancer 350 Coupé is especially impressive, with a top speed of 36 knots and cruising speed of 28 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Galeon 335 HTS 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.
