Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose a yacht on its characteristics (incidentally the 37 XP has won 1 award, most recently for "Interior Design under 40m"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the displacement hull of the 37 XP delivers speeds of up to 15 knots.
If your priority is guest accommodation then the Numarine 37 XP offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 12 guests with its 6 cabin layout option. Some of its rivals, including the Benetti 37M and Sunseeker 120, share the same 12 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The 37 XP benefits from a master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a dressing room and a study is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Custom Line 37 and Horizon FD125, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 10 guests in 5 cabins, still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family or group getaways.
When it comes to cruising speed, the Numarine 37 XP delivers a steady 14 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Sanlorenzo SX112 with an impressive cruising speed of 20 knots. The Numarine 37 XP emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed, catering to a different set of priorities. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Benetti 37M, with the slowest cruising speed of 12 knots, emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and enjoying the journey over the destination.
Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Benetti 37M impresses with its extensive range of 5,000 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Sanlorenzo SX112 and Horizon FD110 Tri-deck all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Sanlorenzo SX112 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 23 knots and cruising speed of 20 knots. The Benetti 37M has an impressive gross tonnage of 395GT, the largest of the competitors here.
Despite stiff competition, the Numarine 37 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.
