Princess S78 Review (2022 Edition) by Aquaholic

Interior

In the main deck saloon, he admires the level layout and uninterrupted view. It is a galley-aft layout and highlighted are the full-height fridge freezer, electric cooker, dishwasher, and retractable glass panels that allow for greater space. The adjoining dinette area is another feature that is appreciated for its seamless connection to the cockpit.

In the saloon there are electric blinds which surround the space and Nick appreciates the angled layout of certain areas, like the wine cooler, which he feels adds to the boat's cozy ambiance. There are large windows, a sliding roof, and the side access door to the lower helm.

Nick shows viewers two stairways leading to the lower deck, where he admires the use of walnut in a satin finish. He takes viewers through the VIP guest cabin, highlighting its ventilation, storage, and emergency exit. He then takes viewers to the third and fourth cabins, which also have ensuite facilities and the ability to convert the twin beds into a double bed.

The owner's cabin, with its separate stairwell, is another highlight. He praises the cabin's full-beam design, the woodwork, the storage, and the ensuite with twin sinks and a rainfall shower. 

Nick describes the yacht's exterior design as sleek, elegant, and multi-purpose, with its sports cruiser style and small flybridge. At the rear of the boat there is a hi-lo platform and tender garage, along with rear engine controls for stern-to berthing.  He also mentions practical elements like the safety locker equipped with manual bilge pumps and fuel shut-off valves. Up on the flybridge deck, there is a large seating arrangements with a fixed table and wet bar.

The Princess S78 has a pair of MAN V12-1900 engines, which can give the boat up to 37 knots which is very fast for a near 80-foot boat.  Dropping to a low speed can give a range of up to 1,000 nautical miles.

Nick concludes with an acknowledgement of the yacht's quality, specifically the stainless steel finish and the upholstery. Overall, heseems highly impressed with the Princess S78, appreciating both its stylish design and practical elements.
