Sunseeker Predator 84 (2008 - 2014) 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 84 delivers speeds of up to 37 knots.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Sunseeker 84 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 4 cabin layout option. The 84 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a dressing room and hull side windows is a standout. The Riva 86 Domino and Pershing 82, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 8 guests in 4 cabins, still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Sunseeker 84 has been designed for those not in a hurry, with the slowest cruising speed of the group at 30 knots and a top speed of 37 knots. The Sunseeker 84 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 Pershing 82 which has an impressive cruising speed of 42 knots powered by its twin 2,600hp MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines and can reach a top speed of 50 knots.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Riva 88' Florida impresses with its extensive range of 340 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Mangusta 80 Open HT and Pershing 82 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Pershing 82 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 50 knots and cruising speed of 42 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Sunseeker Predator 84 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.
