Princess 30M (2016 - 2021) 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 semi-displacement hull of the 30M delivers speeds of up to 27 knots. Some may even choose their yacht based upon features such as: four or five suite layout, pilothouse with guest area, fold-down balcony, hydraulic bathing platform and fast cruising to 25 knots.

Accommodation

If hosting guests overnight is your top priority, then the Princess 30M offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 10 guests with its 5 cabin layout option. Nonetheless, competitors like the Hatteras 105RPH have a slight edge in guest accommodation, with the capacity to sleep up to 14 guests in 6 cabins. This makes them more suitable for those looking to maximize the number of family and friends accommodated onboard. The 30M benefits from a master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a private stairwell and a skylight is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Horizon RP97 is tailored for somewhat smaller groups of 8 guests yet can still deliver an outstanding level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Princess 30M delivers a steady 20 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Hatteras 105RPH with an impressive cruising speed of 22 knots or the Azimut 30 Metri with a respectable cruising speed of 22 knots. The Princess 30M 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 Benetti Delfino 95, with the slowest cruising speed of 13 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 Arcadia A100 impresses with its extensive range of 3,927 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Gulf Craft 100 and Horizon RP97 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Sanlorenzo SL102 Asymmetric focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 26 knots. Meanwhile, the Hatteras 105RPH offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 29 knots. The Azimut 32M has an impressive gross tonnage of 212GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Princess 30M 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.
