Princess 72 Motor Yacht Review (2014 Edition) by Aquaholic

Interior

Nick admired the sociable seating arrangement of the saloon area. He noted the pop-up TV and the strategically placed dining area, directly opposite the galley for easy catering. The spacious galley was praised, equipped with all-electric cooking, a large fridge freezer, and an icemaker.

The helm position has leather seats, twin screens, and an array of instruments and engine controls. He particularly liked the woodwork with its satin finish and subtle color. Going downstairs, the ship's electronics were showcased.

Also toured was the accommodation, including the master cabin, all set up for the guests. The en-suite bathrooms, the wardrobes, and the storage spaces in the cabins were all admired. He was particularly impressed by the master cabin, with its AV system, hull windows, dressing table, and wardrobes.

Moving on, Nick visited the crew area, which he found to be well-equipped with AV equipment, air conditioning, lighting controls, and en-suite facilities.

Nick then toured the exterior of the yacht, appreciating the seating area and sun loungers at the front, and noting the deep bulwarks that added a sense of security while walking around the boat. He was also impressed by the hi-lo bathing platform at the back of the boat, perfect for storing a dinghy.

The flybridge features a bar area, a barbecue, a well-stocked fridge, sun loungers, a large dining area, and the upper helm.

He also explored the engine room, housing the Caterpillar C32 engines, which provide the boat with a speed of around 35 knots. He mentioned the boat's range at 10 knots, which is about 800 miles. He also pointed out the two water makers, one for purifying seawater and the other for purifying dockside water.

Throughout the tour, Nick seemed highly impressed by the yacht's design, amenities, and functionality, leaving no stone unturned in his detailed exploration.
