Pearl 80 (2017 - 2022) Rivals

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 80 delivers speeds of up to 35 knots. Some may even choose their yacht based upon features such as: sharp styling and handling, 350-mile cruising range, 35-knot performance, good sea-keeping, hydraulic bathing platform and passerelle and lavish accommodation for up to eight guests and two crew.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Pearl Yachts 80 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 4 cabin layout option. The 80 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a dressing room and hull side windows is a standout. The Azimut 80 and Galeon 780 Crystal, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 8 guests in 4 cabins, still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Pearl Yachts 80 delivers a steady 30 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Princess Y78 with an impressive cruising speed of 34 knots. The Pearl Yachts 80 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 Monte Carlo Yachts 76, with the slowest cruising speed of 21 knots, emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and enjoying the journey over the destination.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Hatteras M75 Panacera impresses with its extensive range of 950 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Azimut Fly 78 and Galeon 780 Crystal all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Princess Y78 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 36 knots and cruising speed of 34 knots. The Sanlorenzo SL78 has an impressive gross tonnage of 88GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Pearl 80 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.
