Outer Reef 860 Cockpit Motoryacht Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose a yacht on its characteristics (incidentally the 860 CPMY has won 1 award, most recently for "Best 70+ Passagemaker"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the semi-displacement hull of the 860 CPMY delivers speeds of up to 16 knots.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Outer Reef Yachts 860 CPMY 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 Nordhavn N86 and Azimut Magellano 25M 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 860 CPMY features a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a walk-in wardrobe and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. Equivalently, the Outer Reef Yachts 820 CPMY and Outer Reef Yachts 880 CPMY also offer 3 cabins, but with facilities for 6 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Outer Reef Yachts 860 CPMY has been designed for those not in a hurry, with the slowest cruising speed of the group at 11 knots and a top speed of 16 knots. The Outer Reef Yachts 860 CPMY emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and its target audience will be those who enjoy the journey over the destination. The title for the fastest cruising speed goes to the Azimut Magellano 25M which has an impressive cruising speed of 22 knots powered by its twin 1,400hp MAN V12-1400 engines and can reach a top speed of 25 knots. This is closely followed by the Outer Reef Yachts 880 CPMY with a notable cruising speed of 21 knots and top speed of 25 knots.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Outer Reef Yachts 880 CPMY impresses with its extensive range of 2,600 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Outer Reef Yachts 820 CPMY, Outer Reef Yachts 880 CPMY, Outer Reef Yachts 860 Deluxbridge and Outer Reef Yachts 830 Motoryacht all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Azimut Magellano 25M is especially impressive, with a top speed of 25 knots and cruising speed of 22 knots. The Outer Reef Yachts 830 Motoryacht has an impressive gross tonnage of 113GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Outer Reef 860 Cockpit Motoryacht 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.
