Sanlorenzo 62Steel (2021 - 2023) 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 displacement hull of the 62Steel delivers speeds of up to 16 knots. Some may even choose their yacht based upon features such as: six en suite cabins, tri deck yacht design, superb use of glass, skylounge, sundeck and full crew quarters.

Accommodation

If hosting guests overnight is your top priority, then the Sanlorenzo 62Steel offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 12 guests with its 6 cabin layout option. Nonetheless, competitors like the Benetti 63M and Astondoa 197 have a slight edge in guest accommodation, with the capacity to sleep up to 14 guests in 7 cabins. This makes them more suitable for those looking to maximize the number of family and friends accommodated onboard. The 62Steel benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a skylight and full-standing headroom is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Mangusta 60 is tailored for somewhat smaller groupsoffering up to 5 cabins, yet can still deliver an outstanding level of comfort for family or group vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Sanlorenzo 62Steel delivers a steady 14 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Heesen 6500 with an impressive cruising speed of 21 knots. The Sanlorenzo 62Steel 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 Astondoa 197, with the slowest cruising speed of 12 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 Sanlorenzo 64Steel impresses with its extensive range of 6,000 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Astondoa 197, Benetti B.Now 60M, Benetti B.Now 60M Oasis, Tankoa Yachts S621, Benetti 62M and Benetti 63M all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Heesen 6500 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 24 knots and cruising speed of 21 knots. The Sanlorenzo 64Steel has an impressive gross tonnage of 1,350GT, the largest of the competitors here.
