Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice.
If your priority is guest accommodation then the Numarine 30 XP offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 10 guests with its 5 cabin layout option. Most of its rivals, including the Cantiere delle Marche Darwin 102 and Ocean Alexander 28E, share the same 10 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The 30 XP benefits from a master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, an owners balcony and a walk-in wardrobe is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The CL Yachts CLX96, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 8 guests in 4 cabins, still offers an exceptional level of comfort for family getaways.
Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Cantiere delle Marche Darwin 102 impresses with its extensive range of 3,960 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Ocean Alexander 28E allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Cantiere delle Marche Darwin 102 focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 11 knots. Meanwhile, the CL Yachts CLX96 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 27 knots.
Despite stiff competition, the Numarine 30 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.
