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 FD92 Tri Deck delivers speeds of up to 19 knots.
If your priority is guest accommodation then the Horizon FD92 Tri Deck offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 10 guests with its 5 cabin layout option. Most of its rivals, including the Horizon FD87 and Horizon FD85, share the same 10 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The FD92 Tri Deck benefits from a master cabin with a his and hers en-suite bathroom, full-standing headroom and a dressing table is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Sanlorenzo SX88 and Gulf Craft 95 SUV, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 8 guests in 4 cabins, still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family getaways.
When it comes to cruising speed, the Horizon FD92 Tri Deck delivers a steady 16 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Ocean Alexander 90R Open with an impressive cruising speed of 18 knots or the Ocean Alexander 90R Enclosed with a respectable cruising speed of 18 knots. The Horizon FD92 Tri Deck emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed, catering to a different set of priorities. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Custom Line Navetta 30, with the slowest cruising speed of 13 knots, emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and enjoying the journey over the destination.
Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Custom Line Navetta 30 impresses with its extensive range of 2,150 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Ocean Alexander 28E allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Sanlorenzo 88 Americas Edition focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 20 knots. Meanwhile, the Ocean Alexander 90R Open offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 27 knots. The Gulf Craft 95 SUV has an impressive gross tonnage of 200GT, the largest of the competitors here.
Despite stiff competition, the Horizon FD92 Tri Deck 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.
