Sanlorenzo SD112 (2014 - 2020) 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 SD112 has won 1 award, most recently for "Semi-Displacement or Planing Motor Yachts - 30m to 39m"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the semi-displacement hull of the SD112 delivers speeds of up to 17 knots. Some may even choose their yacht based upon features such as: tri-deck design, skylounge, five en suite cabins, main deck master suite, crew quarters and tender garage.

Accommodation

If hosting guests overnight is your top priority, then the Sanlorenzo SD112 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 10 guests with its 5 cabin layout option. Nonetheless, competitors like the Gulf Craft 110 and Arcadia A115 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 SD112 benefits from a master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, full-standing headroom and a walk-in wardrobe is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Horizon P110 and Outer Reef Yachts 3200 are 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 Sanlorenzo SD112 has been designed for those not in a hurry, with the slowest cruising speed of the group at 11 knots and a top speed of 17 knots. The Sanlorenzo SD112 emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and its target audience will be those who enjoy the journey over the destination. The title for the fastest cruising speed goes to the Westport Yachts 112 which has an impressive cruising speed of 22 knots powered by its twin 2,186hp MTU 16V 2000 M86 engines and can reach a top speed of 26 knots. This is closely followed by the Azimut 35 Metri with a notable cruising speed of 21 knots and top speed of 26 knots.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Arcadia A115 impresses with its extensive range of 3,250 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Johnson Yachts 110, Gulf Craft 110, Westport Yachts 112, Horizon RP110, Azimut 35 Metri, Horizon P110, Ocean Alexander 118, Benetti Mediterraneo 116, Custom Line 33 and Arcadia A115 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Westport Yachts 112 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 26 knots and cruising speed of 22 knots. The Benetti Mediterraneo 116 has an impressive gross tonnage of 271GT, the largest of the competitors here.
