Hampton Endurance 658 Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Hampton Yachts 658 which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 6 guests with its 3 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Horizon V68 offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 8 guests in 4 cabins, making them better choices for those seeking to maximise the number of family and friends they can sleep onboard. However, for maximum comfort for the owner, the 658 features a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and full-standing headroom. Equivalently, the Fleming Yachts Fleming 65 and Gulf Craft 65 also offer 3 cabins, but with facilities for 6 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family vacations.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Gulf Craft 65 impresses with its extensive range of 600 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Gulf Craft 65, Outer Reef Yachts 670 Azure Sport Yacht and Fleming Yachts Fleming 65 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Horizon V68 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 24 knots and cruising speed of 20 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Hampton Endurance 658 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.
