Princess S60 (2017 - 2019) 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 S60 has won 1 award, most recently for "Sportscruisers (over 45ft)"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the planing hull of the S60 delivers speeds of up to 38 knots. Some may even choose their yacht based upon features such as: 38-knot performance, sportsbridge with seating for eight, three-cabin layout and tender garage for a rib or jetski.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Princess S60 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 Gulf Craft 62 and Galeon 650 offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 7 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 S60 features a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a dressing table. Equivalently, the Azimut Fly 60 and Prestige 630S 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 Princess S60 holds its own at a respectable 28 knots and a maximum speed of 38 knots. However, the Princess V60 surpasses this slightly with an impressive cruising speed of 30 knots signalling a lean towards more dynamic performance capabilities. The Princess F62 also impresses with a cruising speed of 30 knots. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Gulf Craft 62, with the slowest cruising speed of 20 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 Sunseeker 65 impresses with its extensive range of 900 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Galeon 650 allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Sunseeker 65 focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 30 knots. Meanwhile, the Princess V60 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 38 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Princess S60 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.
