Absolute 62 FLY 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 62 FLY delivers speeds of up to 33 knots. Some may even choose their yacht based upon features such as: super-modern flybridge design, three cabins, full beam owner’s suite and galley aft salon layout.

Accommodation

If hosting guests overnight is your top priority, then the Absolute 62 FLY offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 6 guests with its 3 cabin layout option. Nonetheless, competitors like the Pearl Yachts 62 and Princess F62 have a slight edge in guest accommodation, with the capacity to sleep up to 8 guests in 4 cabins. This makes them more suitable for those looking to maximize the number of family and friends accommodated onboard. The 62 FLY benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a dressing table is a standout. The Gulf Craft Majesty 62 M is tailored for somewhat smaller groups of 4 guests yet can still deliver an outstanding level of comfort for short trips and overnight vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Absolute 62 FLY holds its own at a respectable 28 knots and a maximum speed of 33 knots. However, the Princess S60 surpasses this slightly with an impressive cruising speed of 28 knots signalling a lean towards more dynamic performance capabilities. The Princess F62 also impresses with a cruising speed of 30 knots. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Schaefer Yachts Schaefer 600, with the slowest cruising speed of 24 knots, emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and enjoying the journey over the destination.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Maritimo M59 impresses with its extensive range of 1,125 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Azimut Fly 62 allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Princess F62 focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 30 knots. Meanwhile, the Princess S60 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 38 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Absolute 62 FLY 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.
