Owner Experience Review
Owners and charterers find the PRINCESS88 Motor Yachtstrikingly versatile: multi‑day family cruising, Mediterranean charter for 8–12 guests, and unhurried owner passages are all common use cases. Underway, reports describe seakeeping that stays solid across the rev range, with comfortable slow‑speed/displacement behavior and a steady ride in moderate chop. Most run it economically in the low‑to‑mid 20s knots, with top speeds commonly around 27–30 knots depending on MTU or Caterpillar fit—a charter write‑up simply called it "A magical few days on board".
Life on board centers on space and light. A full‑beam midships owner’s stateroom with large hull windows is frequently praised, and layouts flex between four and five cabins to suit private family cruising or charter. The flybridge, cockpit, and the drop‑down balcony are set up for weekend entertaining, with generous seating, a wetbar, and options like a spa or tender garage; as one charter report put it, "fabulous crew who ensured we made the most of every minute on board".
Ownership comes with big‑yacht running realities. Fuel and maintenance bills are noted as high for an 88‑footer with MTU/Cat propulsion, and syndicated examples cite substantial annual upkeep. On the positive side, engine‑room and crew access are well arranged—direct side‑deck access lets service happen without tracking through guest areas. Some owners mention that PRINCESSboats can have a year of teething issues after delivery, though these are typically addressed promptly under warranty.
