Princess F50 Review (2023 Edition) by Aquaholic

On Deck

Nick points out the bigger hull windows, the blend of the engine vents with said windows, and the removal of a white styling bar from the side windows, giving the yacht a cleaner look.

The hi-lo bathing platform can carry a Williams 285, along with the large deck gear storage area. He makes note of the deck lights on the stairs and the seating arrangement at the back.

Upstairs, the flybridge's size is impressive, featuring a good seating arrangement, and a wet bar. He likes the helm position with cool box. Highlighted is the new metallic finish instead of plain white.

Inside, Nick focuses on the matte walnut woodwork and the galley aft layout. He talks about the ample storage and the options for additional refrigeration. He likes the flooring and the spacious saloon area with a large table for dining. At the double helm, the boat is equipped with IPS joystick, throttle controls, multi-function displays, and a Princess steering wheel.

Downstairs, there is a guest cabin and owner's cabin, both of which have ample storage and large hull windows. There are ensuite bathrooms and the possibility of installing a washing machine in a large storage area.

In the engine room, there are a pair of Volvo Penta IPS D-800s, which can power the yacht to a speed of about 34 knots. It is explained that the engines are placed further forward than usual in IPS boats for better weight distribution.

Overall, Nick seems pleased with the Princess F50's features and improvements, concluding that it's a gentle but effective revamp of the previous model. He likes the attention to detail, the clean lines, and the ample storage spaces on the yacht, indicating that the changes are just the refinements it needed.
