Although Azimuts are very attractively designed, Princess build quality could be a thick better. Fairline definitely better in build quality and Ferretti should be at par with Fairline.

All these boats are planing boats, so their stabilty is obtained through the fast movement of the hull in the water. If the seas are high, then it may not be comfortable and at times dangerous to keep a planing speed, then because of the hull design (flat bottom), the boat will roll heavily.

For stability at high seas one should consider displacement or semi-displacement boats backed by stabilizers.
