Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Lurssen Yachts Horizons III 2014 vs Lurssen Yachts Kismet 2014 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Lurssen Yachts Horizons III 2014 vs Lurssen Yachts Kismet 2014 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 2 720 hp, the Lurssen Yachts Kismet 2014 has a 710-hp advantage over the Lurssen Yachts Horizons III 2014's 2 010-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Lurssen Yachts Kismet 2014 is rated for 95 passengers, while the Lurssen Yachts Horizons III 2014 caps at 70. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Lurssen Yachts Kismet 2014 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Lurssen Yachts Kismet 2014 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 95 passengers and at 312,5 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Lurssen Yachts Horizons III 2014 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 70 that costs less to run day-to-day.
