Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice.
If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Horizon FD125 which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 10 guests with its 5 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Numarine 37 XP offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 12 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 FD125 features a master cabin with a his and hers en-suite bathroom, a study and hull side windows and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. Equivalently, the Gulf Craft 125 and Sanlorenzo SD126 also offer 5 cabins, but with facilities for 10 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family or group vacations.
Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Numarine 37 XP impresses with its extensive range of 6,000 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Gulf Craft 122 and Gulf Craft 125 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Gulf Craft 125 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 22 knots and cruising speed of 16 knots. The Numarine 37 XP has an impressive gross tonnage of 499GT, the largest of the competitors here.
Despite stiff competition, the Horizon FD125 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.
