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 fast displacement hull of the FD75 delivers speeds of up to 19 knots.
If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Horizon FD75 which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 7 guests with its 4 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Gulf Craft Nomad 70 SUV and Princess X80 offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 10 guests in 5 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 FD75 features a master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a private stairwell and a dressing table. Equivalently, the Arcadia Sherpa 80 and Sanlorenzo SX76 also offer 4 cabins, but with facilities for 8 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family vacations.
When it comes to cruising speed, the Horizon FD75 has been designed for those not in a hurry, with the slowest cruising speed of the group at 17 knots and a top speed of 19 knots. The Horizon FD75 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 X80 which has an impressive cruising speed of 25 knots powered by its twin 1,900hp MAN V12-1900 engines and can reach a top speed of 31 knots.
Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Numarine 22 XP impresses with its extensive range of 2,000 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Arcadia Sherpa 80 and Gulf Craft Nomad 70 SUV all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Princess X80 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 31 knots and cruising speed of 25 knots. The Numarine 22 XP has an impressive gross tonnage of 149GT, the largest of the competitors here.
Despite stiff competition, the Horizon FD75 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.
