Hatteras M98 Panacera (2021 - 2022) 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 Hatteras M98 Panacera which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 10 guests with its 4 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Sunseeker 100 and Hatteras 105RPH offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 13 guests in 6 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 M98 Panacera features a full-beam master cabin with a his and hers en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and full-standing headroom and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. Equivalently, the Horizon RP97 and Maiora 30 Walkaround also offer 4 cabins, but with facilities for 8 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 Benetti Delfino 95 impresses with its extensive range of 2,320 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Maiora 30 Walkaround allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Sanlorenzo SL102 Asymmetric focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 26 knots. Meanwhile, the Hatteras 105RPH offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 29 knots. The Benetti Delfino 95 has an impressive gross tonnage of 199GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Hatteras M98 Panacera 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.
