About

The hull works with straight shafts and big rudders, so the boat tracks cleanly and responds well to helm input, helped by proportional bow and stern thrusters and the option of a joystick that links them to the main engines. Owners choose between 1,400hp and 1,650hp V12s; the stronger set gives about 35 knots flat out and a solid fast cruise around the low-20s, with fuel burn near 400 litres per hour at 25 knots and slower use at 9 knots for longer runs. The engine room sits under the cockpit with twin generators outboard, fin gear in its own bay, and clear access along the centreline. Deck layout suits owner-drivers who cruise the Med or the UK South Coast: a stern-to-friendly cockpit with a third station, safe deep side decks, a bow lounge that works at anchor and at low speed, and a flybridge with grill, bar fridge, and hardtop option. Buyers tend to look for a Princess Y72 for sale with the higher-power engines and key options such as the hardtop, fin stabilisers, upgraded navigation kit, and air-conditioning.

From The Manufacturer

Forward on the lower deck, six guests can enjoy three beautifully appointed guest cabins filled with light from the full-length hull glazing. A dedicated staircase leads from the main deck to the full-beam owner’s stateroom amidships, via a private lobby area connected to the saloon. The sophisticated owner’s stateroom is furnished with a sofa, dressing area and vanity desk wrapped and stitched in Livorno Stone leather for a contemporary finish. Luxurious surroundings exude from the owner’s stateroom with architecturally inspired feature panels, fresh linen wallcoverings and a bronze tint mirror to compliment the scheme. An additional en-suite cabin with two single beds is positioned aft for crew or occasional guests.
