The distinction

Exterior use

The Sunseeker's aft platform and beach club concept are important in warm water markets.

Propulsion

The Manhattan 55 may be found with shafts or pods, requiring careful yacht specific review.

Fit

The Princess may suit an owner who prefers a more compact, understated flybridge yacht.

The final decision

A useful comparison must move beyond published specifications. The right yacht is the one whose layout, systems, condition and ownership demands correspond to the way it will be used.
