You prioritize on-water prestige, you need a yacht that fits into a 115’ berth exactly (the updated model is actually 116’6” due to the extended swim platform), or you dislike commissioning a vessel from a non-European yard. Conclusion The Eagle Craft 116 updated represents a new chapter for Chinese yacht building: no longer just a budget alternative, but a legitimate competitor in the serious offshore cruiser segment. With hybrid power, a world-class interior, and proven steel construction, it offers a compelling value proposition that is hard to ignore.
– The master stateroom moves aft, taking the full 7.2m beam. Includes a private study, his-and-hers heads, and a direct exit to the aft deck. This was previously only available on custom yachts twice the price.
