Some people choose a yacht on its characteristics (incidentally the 35 Exuma has won 2 awards, most recently for "Best Interior Design - Motor Yachts 499GT and below, 39.9m and below"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the displacement hull of the 35 Exuma delivers speeds of up to 33 knots.
