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 planing hull of the 62 delivers speeds of up to 35 knots.
If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Numarine 62 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 Princess F65 and Pearl Yachts 62 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 62 features a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a sofa. Equivalently, the Azimut Fly 60 and Gulf Craft 65 also offer 3 cabins, but with facilities for 6 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family vacations.
When it comes to cruising speed, the Numarine 62 holds its own at a respectable 28 knots and a maximum speed of 35 knots. However, the Princess F62 surpasses this slightly with an impressive cruising speed of 30 knots signalling a lean towards more dynamic performance capabilities. The Pearl Yachts 62 also impresses with a cruising speed of 30 knots. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Gulf Craft 65 SUV, with the slowest cruising speed of 15 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 Gulf Craft 65 SUV impresses with its extensive range of 1,300 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Gulf Craft 62 and Cruisers Yachts 60 Fly all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Princess F62 focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 30 knots. Meanwhile, the Princess F62 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 36 knots.
Despite stiff competition, the Numarine 62 Flybridge 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.
