Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice.
If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Ocean Alexander 26R Enclosed 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 Sunseeker Ocean 156 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 26R Enclosed features a full-beam master cabin with a his and hers en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a dressing table and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. Equivalently, the Numarine 26 XP and Ocean Alexander 84R Enclosed also offer 4 cabins, but with facilities for 8 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family vacations.
Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Numarine 26 XP impresses with its extensive range of 3,500 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Astondoa Ax8 allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Numarine 26 XP focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 18 knots. Meanwhile, the Sunseeker Ocean 156 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 25 knots. The Sunseeker Ocean 156 has an impressive gross tonnage of 156GT, the largest of the competitors here.
Despite stiff competition, the Ocean Alexander 26R Enclosed 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.
