On Deck

Nick highlights the sports yacht style, which lacks a fly bridge, but possesses a hi-lo platform and a massive tender garage that can store a Williams jet tender. The sunbathing area above the bathing platform is praised for its adjustable shade. The outdoor seating area is found to be comfortable and well-sheltered, with a fabulous view.

Interior

The yacht's interior woodwork is finished in walnut satin. Of particular note is the ice maker, the Bose AV system, and the wine cooler. The cushions in the seating area are exceptionally comfortable and the dining area's additional pull-out seating is appreciated.

The helm is equipped with advanced navigation and control systems including Raymarine hybrid touch, chart plotter, and touchscreen for electronic control. He also mentions the bow and stern thruster and side access door to the deck. There is a curved staircase leading to the galley, which is outfitted with an extractor fan, electric cooking, and a dishwasher.

In the VIP cabin, the lighting and the functionality of the hatch are appreciated.  The hatch can be opened or closed for insulation or access. He also notes the ensuite bathroom with its separate shower stall. He finds the flooring to be beautiful and appreciates the thoughtful addition of a dressing table and wardrobe.

The master cabin is another highlight, with its dark wood, pin lights, and views. He also notes the dressing table, wardrobes, and ensuite bathroom. The cabin's ensuite impresses for its size and quality, despite the yacht being a sports model rather than a fly bridge.

Crew Accommodation

The yacht also features a crew cabin, which Nick compliments for its size, quality woodwork, and air conditioning. The crew cabin also features its own ensuite with a separate shower stall. He notes that this space could easily serve as an extra cabin if needed.

Performance

The engine room houses Caterpillar C32 engines with 1,723 horsepower. He commends the spaciousness of the engine room and the neat layout for easy servicing. The yacht's speed is also impressive, with Princess claiming speeds up to 38 knots.

In Summary

Overall, Nick finds the Princess V72 to be not only aesthetically pleasing but also very functional and livable. He appreciates the attention to detail and the thoughtful design that went into the yacht's construction.
