Princess S72 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 S72 has won 2 awards, most recently for "Sport Yacht 21-24m"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the planing hull of the S72 delivers speeds of up to 36 knots. Some may even choose their yacht based upon features such as: excellent four-cabin interior, private stateroom, massive deck salon, impressive sportsbridge deck and 36 knots.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Princess S72 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 10 guests with its 5 cabin layout option. Most of its rivals, including the Numarine 78 HTS and Sunseeker 74 Sport Yacht XPS, share the same 10 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The S72 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a private stairwell and hull side windows is a standout. The Pershing 74 and Princess S72, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 7 guests in 3 cabins, still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Princess S72 holds its own at a respectable 34 knots and a maximum speed of 36 knots. However, the Pershing 74 surpasses this slightly with an impressive cruising speed of 40 knots signalling a lean towards more dynamic performance capabilities. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Maritimo S75, with the slowest cruising speed of 22 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 75 Sport Yacht impresses with its extensive range of 900 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Pershing 74 allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Pershing 74 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 44 knots and cruising speed of 40 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Princess S72 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.
