Capacity is the headline split: the Fjord Fjord carries 16 guests to the Anvera 48 S's 12.
On size, the Fjord Fjord is the longer boat at 16.36 m LOA to 14.50 m. The Anvera 48 S is the quicker boat, 50 knots to 38.
Net of the spec sheet it is a trade: the Fjord Fjord is the bigger, higher-capacity platform, the Anvera 48 S the quicker one. Garage envelope and the missions the boat has to cover should settle it.
