Pershing GTX116 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 GTX116 has won 2 awards, most recently for "Best Innovation (30-60m)"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the planing hull of the GTX116 delivers speeds of up to 35 knots.

Accommodation

If hosting guests overnight is your top priority, then the Pershing GTX116 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 10 guests with its 5 cabin layout option. Nonetheless, competitors like the Sunseeker 120 have a slight edge in guest accommodation, with the capacity to sleep up to 12 guests in 6 cabins. This makes them more suitable for those looking to maximize the number of family and friends accommodated onboard. The GTX116 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with a his and hers en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a dressing table is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Mangusta 108 and Azimut 120SL are tailored for somewhat smaller groups of 9 guests yet can still deliver an outstanding level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Pershing GTX116 delivers a steady 29 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Vanquish Yachts VQ115 Veloce with an impressive cruising speed of knots or the Sanlorenzo SP110 with a respectable cruising speed of 36 knots. The Pershing GTX116 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 Sunseeker 120, with the slowest cruising speed of 10 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 Dynamiq GTT 115 impresses with its extensive range of 3,000 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Sanlorenzo SP110, Mangusta 108, Vanquish Yachts VQ115 Veloce, Pershing 115 and Azimut 120SL all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Sanlorenzo SP110 focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 36 knots. Meanwhile, the Vanquish Yachts VQ115 Veloce offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 53 knots. The Azimut 36M has an impressive gross tonnage of 260GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Pershing GTX116 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.
