Owner Experience Review

Owners gravitate to the 61fromPRINCESSfor family cruising and entertaining. The often-cited 3-cabin/3-head layout with a separate crew/utility berth, paired with a large flybridge and cockpit—sunpad, U-shaped seating, and a wet bar—make day-to-day life aboard straightforward for families. Several owners also report confident coastal runs, including multi-day transits such as Maine to Fort Lauderdale.

Underway, feedback is consistently positive: “thoroughly enjoyable, well mannered and dependable,” with multiple threads praising the 61for fantastic seakeeping. Performance depends on engine selection (brochures cite Volvo Penta, MAN, or Caterpillar options) and loading, with spec sheets indicating roughly 31–35 knots at the top end; owners note fuel burn and cruise speed shift markedly with weight and tank levels.

Comfort-wise, the social flow from salon to cockpit to swim platform is a strength, but the crew cabin is described as tight and best for short stays or kids, and some comment that the flybridge sunpad is smaller than on later, larger models. Maintenance expectations should be realistic: several owners note that deeper engine access can require removing the salon couch, carpet, padding and floor hatches, while others report a separate cockpit hatch that suffices for routine checks. Upkeep rises with size and systems—more bottom area, large engines and, if fitted, twin generators, stabilizers or hydraulics—particularly on older boats that demand attentive service.

Pros and Cons

Well-mannered handling with notably good seakeeping, reported as enjoyable and dependable.

Family-friendly 3-cabin/3-head layout with spacious flybridge and cockpit social zones.

Proven for coastal transits and offers flexible performance depending on engine spec and loading.

Engine-room access can be tight and may require removing salon furnishings for deeper service.

Crew quarters are small and more suitable for kids or short overnight use.

Size and systems (stabilizers, hydraulics, twin gensets if fitted) drive higher ongoing upkeep, especially as the boat ages.
