Nautor Swan Arrow Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Nautor Swan Swan Arrow which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 6 guests with its 3 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Riviera 6800 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition and Azimut Seadeck 7 offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 8 guests in 4 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 Swan Arrow features a master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a dressing room and a dressing table and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. Equivalently, the Wally wallywhy100 also offer 3 cabins, but with facilities for 6 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

In terms of performance, the Nautor Swan Swan Arrow leads the way with a maximum speed of 37 knots thanks to its twin 1,000hp Volvo Penta D13-IPS1350 engines. Closely followed by, the Riviera 6800 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition with a top speed of 33 knots. On the other hand, the Pardo Yachts E72, with its more modest top speed of 26 knots, emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed, catering to a different set of priorities.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Wally wallywhy100 impresses with its extensive range of 420 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Pardo Yachts E72 allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Riviera 6800 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition is especially impressive, with a top speed of 33 knots and cruising speed of 30 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Nautor Swan Arrow 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.
