Princess F70 Review (2020 Edition) by Aquaholic

On Deck

Starting at the back, the Princess F70 features a hi-lo platform where one would place their tender. Stepping up into the cockpit area, the large overhang almost to the transom is highlighted, providing shade whilst dining.  The cockpit has another helm station here which is very handy for stern-to berthing.

The flybridge has a quite sheltered upper helm area with the hardtop powered over.  Behind the helm is a huge seating/dining area, sunbathing area and a bar with a fridge. 

The side decks leading to the foredeck are very wide and have hip-high rails.  The foredeck itself is a beautiful sunbathing area.

The boat's layout makes it quite manageable for two competent people while also suitable for a crew. The main deck has a galley-aft layout which is a very convenient design for entertaining guests and feeding people. The lift-up window that connects the interior and exterior areas nicely, contributing to the boat's sociable design. The galley also features a full-height fridge freezer, storage for crockery, and dishwasher.

The interior finish is the lighter Revere oak, compared to a walnut finish he saw in a previous version. The oak has a satin finish for a contemporary look which, combined with the large windows, and white seating keep the whole saloon area light. There are speakers in the ceiling and another fridge and ice maker in the bar area.

The helm itself has two big comfortable seats and multi display system, a side access door is situated here for easy access on deck. 

The VIP guest cabin has very thoughtful lighting and an ensuite. There are two more guest cabins, with a clever feature that allows one of the single beds to slide across to create a double bed.

Nick then moves to the master cabin, which he describes as a really nice cabin with masses of storage. The lovely finishes, including the wood and upholstery, and the ensuite facilities are highlights. There is a small lobby area outside this cabin, that holds the laundry area.

The crew area is accessed from the bathing platform and features twin beds and ensuite/shower. Throughout there is a lovely wood finish, full standing headroom and plenty of light.  

The engineering space houses a pair of MAN V12 1400 horsepower engines.  The monitoring systems are well thought out, with air conditioning systems and soundproofing throughout. 

Finally, Nick takes the boat out to sea, demonstrating how steady it remains even in blustery conditions. He mentions the impressive maneuverability of the boat due to the independent operation of its engines. He also takes viewers into the master stateroom while the boat is at sea, giving them a unique view of its speed.

Overall, Nick seems very impressed with the Princess F70. He praises its layout, design, finishes, and performance, particularly highlighting its ability to cover ground effortlessly and providing a comfortable and luxurious experience.
