By YachtBuyer

The Sessa Marine Fly68 Gullwing and Gulf Craft Majesty 72 are less than a metre apart in length, but the Majesty has 84cm more beam. It's a useful advantage, particularly below deck, though hardly enough to settle the contest. Sessa has the more theatrical design, with huge glass gullwing panels that open the saloon to the sea. But the real differences lie in their cabin layouts, engine choices and how they accommodate crew and tenders.

Below, we delve into a detailed comparison of the Gulf Craft Majesty 72 and the Sessa Marine Fly68 Gullwing. The Gulf Craft Majesty 72 features a GRP planing hull, ensuring durability and a lighter weight. The yacht's length of 21.99m/72'2" and beam of 5.91m/19'5" provide a stable and spacious platform for both at-sea and anchored conditions. The Sessa Marine Fly68 Gullwing offers a very similar length of 21.04m/69', with a marginally narrower beam of 5.07m/16'8",

Performance

The Sessa has the stronger headline speed, with up to 37 knots from optional twin MAN V12s, against the Majesty's quoted 30 knots. But there's a more useful figure buried in the Sessa's sea trials: around 350nm at 20 knots with IPS1200 engines, based on full fuel capacity. The Majesty carries considerably more fuel, though comparable range figures remain elusive.

Interior

Those gullwing panels aren't merely a party trick. They lift clear of the side decks and open the Sessa's saloon to the sea, without sacrificing walkaround space.

The Majesty takes a more traditional approach, but makes excellent use of its beam. There's a 35m² main-deck interior, a substantial dining area and a galley with room to work. Dutch studio Phathom also developed two interior schemes, Chinook and Sirocco, with quite different color palettes.

Accommodation

The headline figures give both yachts four guest cabins, but there's some important fine print.

The Majesty's four-cabin plan includes a full-beam owner's suite of around 24m², with a walk-in wardrobe, plus two twin cabins that can convert to doubles. Sessa offers three- and four-cabin arrangements, and the extra guest cabin comes at the expense of the lower-deck galley. Its full-beam master is impressive too, although the Majesty's extra width gives it an obvious advantage.

For a family that regularly travels eight-up, the exact Sessa layout deserves close scrutiny.

Helm Station

The Sessa's central flybridge helm is a step below the main guest area. Visibility ahead is good, but the driver is rather isolated from the company.

The Majesty has companion seats beside its upper helm and a small lounge opposite the lower station. It's the more sociable arrangement for an owner who likes to drive.

Deck Areas

The Majesty's 16m² cockpit has room for a substantial dining table, with proper space for chairs on the forward side. Sessa offers more ways to lounge, with convertible sunpads in the cockpit and on the foredeck.

Flybridge

Both have bars and dining space, but the Majesty leaves its aft flybridge open for loose furniture or tender stowage with a crane. Sessa has a carbon T-top and space for freestanding loungers.

Compare Layouts

The Sessa's three-cabin version keeps the galley below deck; the four-cabin arrangement moves it upstairs. An Asian-market showboat went further, with two large VIP suites, a lower lounge and no lower helm. It's worth checking the actual floor plan before assuming two Fly68s are alike.

The Majesty keeps its four guest cabins but presents a different dilemma aft. Owners can have two crew cabins and a generous utility area, or a tender garage with reduced crew space.

The Sessa already has a dedicated tender garage, which could tip the scales for an owner who wants both a tender and separate crew accommodation.
