Grand Banks GB85 Flybridge Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some may even choose their yacht based upon features such as: skylounge creates all-weather upper deck, 30-knot performance, ips pods, three or four cabins and exceptional build and finish.

Accommodation

If hosting guests overnight is your top priority, then the Grand Banks GB85 Flybridge offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 9 guests with its 4 cabin layout option. Nonetheless, competitors like the Horizon FD90S and Sunseeker Ocean 182 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 GB85 Flybridge benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a walk-in wardrobe is a standout. The Outer Reef Yachts 800 MY and Fleming Yachts Fleming 78 are tailored for somewhat smaller groups of 6 guests yet can still deliver an outstanding level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Grand Banks GB85 Flybridge holds its own at a respectable 24 knots and a maximum speed of 27 knots. However, the Grand Banks GB85 Skylounge surpasses this slightly with an impressive cruising speed of 27 knots signalling a lean towards more dynamic performance capabilities. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Horizon FD90S, with the slowest cruising speed of 10 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 Outer Reef Yachts 900 Motoryacht impresses with its extensive range of 3,800 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Grand Banks GB85 Skylounge allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Grand Banks GB85 Skylounge is especially impressive, with a top speed of 30 knots and cruising speed of 27 knots. The Sunseeker Ocean 182 has an impressive gross tonnage of 182GT, the largest of the competitors here.
