Mangusta Oceano 44 Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose a yacht on its characteristics (incidentally the Oceano 44 has won 1 award, most recently for "Best Interior Design").

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Mangusta Oceano 44 which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 12 guests with its 5 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Azimut Grande 44M offer the same total guests sleeping overnight, but with 6 cabins could be a better choice for those seeking to maximise the number of family and friends they can sleep onboard. However, for maximum comfort for the owner, the Oceano 44 features a full-beam master cabin with a his and hers en-suite bathroom, a dressing room and hull side windows and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. Equivalently, the Dynamiq G 450 and Benetti Class 44M also offer 5 cabins, but with facilities for 10 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family or group vacations.

Performance

In terms of cruising performance, the Mangusta Oceano 44 leads the way with an impressive cruising speed of 11 knots thanks to its twin 1,700hp MTU 12V 2000 M86 engines and maximum speed of 15 knots at 2,450rpm. Closely followed by, the Azimut Grande 44M with a respectable cruising speed of knots. The Dynamiq G 450 also impresses with a cruising speed of 10 knots. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Benetti Class 44M, with the slowest cruising speed of 11 knots, emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and enjoying the journey over the destination.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Benetti Class 44M impresses with its extensive range of 4,100 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Benetti Class 44M allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Benetti Class 44M focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 11 knots. Meanwhile, the Azimut Grande 44M offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 17 knots. The Azimut Grande 44M has an impressive gross tonnage of 499GT, the largest of the competitors here.
