Princess S65 (Mk1, 2015 - 2019) 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 S65 delivers speeds of up to 38 knots. Some may even choose their yacht based upon features such as: 38-knot performance, sportsbridge deck offers seating and sunpad options, tender garage for a rib or jetski and hydraulic bathing platform.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Princess S65 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 4 cabin layout option. Most of its rivals, including the Princess F62 and Azimut 66, share the same 8 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The S65 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a walk-in wardrobe is a standout. The Prestige 630S and Riva 66' Ribelle, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 6 guests in 3 cabins, still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Princess S65 delivers a steady 30 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Princess V65 with an impressive cruising speed of 36 knots or the Riva 66' Ribelle with a respectable cruising speed of 33 knots. The Princess S65 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 Prestige 630S, with the slowest cruising speed of 19 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 performance of the Princess V65 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 38 knots and cruising speed of 36 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Princess S65 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.
