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 650 delivers speeds of up to 30 knots.
If your priority is guest accommodation then the Galeon 650 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 4 cabin layout option. Most of its rivals, including the Princess S65 and Azimut S7, share the same 8 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The 650 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and full-standing headroom is a standout. The Princess S60 and Riva 66' Ribelle, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 6 guests in 3 cabins, still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family getaways.
When it comes to cruising speed, the Galeon 650 has been designed for those not in a hurry, with the slowest cruising speed of the group at 21 knots and a top speed of 30 knots. The Galeon 650 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 Princess S60 which has an impressive cruising speed of 28 knots powered by its twin 1,200hp MAN V8-1200 engines and can reach a top speed of 38 knots. This is closely followed by the Princess S65 with a notable cruising speed of 30 knots and top speed of 38 knots.
Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Sunseeker 65 impresses with its extensive range of 900 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Prestige 590S and Princess S60 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Riva 66' Ribelle focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 33 knots. Meanwhile, the Princess S60 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 38 knots.
Despite stiff competition, the Galeon 650 Skydeck 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.
