AB 95 Rivals

Accommodation

If hosting guests overnight is your top priority, then the AB Yachts AB 95 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 10 guests with its 4 cabin layout option. Nonetheless, competitors like the Princess S80 have a slight edge in guest accommodation, with the capacity to sleep up to 10 guests in 5 cabins. This makes them more suitable for those looking to maximize the number of family and friends accommodated onboard. The AB 95 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a walk-in wardrobe is a standout. The Palm Beach PB85 Sedan is tailored for somewhat smaller groups of 6 guests yet can still deliver an outstanding level of comfort for family vacations.
