On Deck

The Princess F68 showcases a sleek grey hull that Nick finds particularly appealing. The yacht's exterior features include teak decks, which add to the luxury feel.

The aft cockpit is equipped with a large overhang providing shade and a foldable dining table for adaptable space. The bow seating area serves as a sociable spot with a panoramic view. The yacht also features sunbathing cushions on the front deck and an escape hatch below for emergency situations.

Nick tours the hardtop flybridge, admiring its comprehensive setup that includes a shaded dining area, a barbecue, a sizeable fridge, and an additional ice maker.

The upper helm offers a commanding view and is equipped with twin Raymarine hybrid touchscreens, engine instrumentation, and thruster controls. There is also seating next to the helm that can be transformed into a sun pad, providing a relaxing spot for guests to lounge and converse while cruising.

Interior

The interior of the yacht boasts high-quality finishings and materials, creating a luxurious and comfortable ambiance. The galley aft layout features modern appliances, including a combination oven, microwave, grill, four-burner hob, and a full-sized fridge freezer, along with a dishwasher. Carefully crafted drawers and cupboards with the Princess logo are designed to store cutlery and crockery securely.

The saloon area is elevated with deep seats and a unique coffee table, while a pop-up TV and integrated drink storage enhance the living space.

The helm area is designed for optimal functionality, with twin Raymarine screens, an autopilot system, hydraulic bow and stern thrusters, and a side access door for easy maneuvering during docking. The low glare finish minimizes reflections, and there's even space for a folded chart, a rarity in modern yachts.

Accommodation

Owner's Cabin

The owner's cabin, accessible via a private entrance in the saloon area, impresses Nick with its full-size accommodations, featuring a dressing table, sizeable TV, and a comfortable sofa. The cabin's finishings, combining dark wood and light materials, are praised for their beauty. The en suite bathroom includes a large shower area, ample storage, and a toilet.

Guest Accommodation

The VIP cabin at the front is spacious and provides storage solutions, including a large wardrobe and under-bed drawers. It also has a dedicated en suite bathroom.

Two additional guest cabins offer the flexibility of twin beds that can be converted into a double bed. There is shared access to a day head with a separate shower stall, and ample storage.

Crew Accomodation 

The crew cabin contains twin beds, personal climate control, and a separate shower.

Performance

The yacht is powered by twin MAN V12-1400 engines, enabling the yacht to exceed 30 knots. These engines can provide a range of 450 nautical miles at cruising speeds. 

The engine room is well-organized, facilitating maintenance and featuring separate air conditioning units for personal climate control across the yacht. A water maker and twin generators add to the yacht's self-sufficiency.

In Summary

Nick expresses his admiration for the Princess F68's ability to offer a multitude of luxurious amenities and well-thought-out spaces within a sub-70 foot yacht without feeling cramped. He commends the clever design that provides comfort and practicality for both guests and crew.

The yacht's performance, finishings, and the attention to detail in both the interior and exterior spaces reflect Princess Yachts' commitment to excellence. Nick's overall impression is highly positive, emphasizing the yacht's suitability for Mediterranean cruising and entertainment.
