Nordhavn 64 (2006 - 2022) Rivals

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 displacement hull of the N64 delivers speeds of up to 10 knots.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Nordhavn N64 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 6 guests with its 3 cabin layout option. Most of its rivals, including the Bering Yachts B65 and Fleming Yachts Fleming 65, share the same 6 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The N64 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with a private stairwell and hull side windows is a standout. The Nordhavn N60 and Nordhavn N63, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 4 guests in 2 cabins, still offer an exceptional level of comfort for short trips and overnight getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Nordhavn N64 has been designed for those not in a hurry, with the slowest cruising speed of the group at 10 knots and a top speed of 10 knots. The Nordhavn N64 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 Grand Banks GB60 Skylounge which has an impressive cruising speed of 25 knots powered by its twin 800hp Volvo Penta D13-800 engines and can reach a top speed of 31 knots.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Nordhavn N625 impresses with its extensive range of 3,000 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Grand Banks GB60 Skylounge, Outer Reef Yachts 640 Azure Motoryacht, Fleming Yachts Fleming 65 and Fleming Yachts Fleming 58 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Grand Banks GB60 Skylounge is especially impressive, with a top speed of 31 knots and cruising speed of 25 knots.
