Numarine 22 XP 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 22 XP delivers speeds of up to 24 knots.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Numarine 22 XP which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 4 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Gulf Craft Nomad 70 SUV offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 10 guests in 5 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 22 XP features a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a private stairwell and hull side windows and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. Equivalently, the Sanlorenzo SX76 and Horizon FD80 also offer 4 cabins, but with facilities for 8 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

In terms of cruising performance, the Numarine 22 XP leads the way with an impressive cruising speed of 20 knots thanks to its twin 419hp Cummins QSB6.7 425mhp engines and maximum speed of 24 knots at 3,000rpm. Closely followed by, the Prestige X70 with a respectable cruising speed of 20 knots. The Sirena Yachts 68 also impresses with a cruising speed of 16 knots. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Horizon FD80, with the slowest cruising speed of 13 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 Horizon FD75 impresses with its extensive range of 2,289 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Sirena Yachts 68, Gulf Craft Nomad 70 SUV and Gulf Craft 65 SUV all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Wally WHY150 focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 20 knots. Meanwhile, the Prestige X70 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 29 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Numarine 22 XP 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.
