If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Azimut 25M which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 4 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Azimut Seadeck 9 and Pearl Yachts Pearl 82 offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 10 guests in 5 cabins, making them better choices for those seeking to maximise the number of family and friends they can sleep onboard. However, for maximum comfort for the owner, the 25M features a master cabin with a his and hers en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a dressing table and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. Equivalently, the Cranchi Settantotto 78 and Astondoa As8 also offer 4 cabins, but with facilities for 8 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family vacations.
In terms of cruising performance, the Azimut 25M leads the way with an impressive cruising speed of 27 knots thanks to its twin 1,800hp MAN V12-1800 engines and maximum speed of 30 knots at 2,300rpm. Closely followed by, the Cranchi Settantotto 78 with a respectable cruising speed of 23 knots. The Pearl Yachts Pearl 82 also impresses with a cruising speed of 24 knots. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Azimut Seadeck 9, with the slowest cruising speed of knots, emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and enjoying the journey over the destination.
Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Sanlorenzo SL86A impresses with its extensive range of 900 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Galeon 800 Fly allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Riva 82' Diva focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 27 knots. Meanwhile, the Cranchi Settantotto 78 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 33 knots. The Galeon 800 Fly has an impressive gross tonnage of 110GT, the largest of the competitors here.
Despite stiff competition, the Azimut Grande 25M 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.
