Princess S72 Yacht Review
Posted 2015/08/11 at 1:24 in Yacht Reviews
The Princess S72 is top of the line in regards to luxury, manageability, and fun. There are a lot of new appealing features and layout changes, including an open flying bridge! She is a true sportster in every aspect and is bound to delight all who are around her. The twin 1723-hp Caterpillar C32 ACERT diesel inboards make the yacht move gracefully through the waters with smooth cruising for all those on board. The hydraulic instrument console is slanted up to show electronic cartography and engine essentials luminously. The power assisted steering wheel assists with broad tactical turning. The immense diesel torque, enormous wheels, and the Side-Power thrusters make maneuvering easy as pie.

Accommodations
Below deck you will see that there are three generous staterooms. One is a full beam master, the second a VIP forward, and a convertible twin to the right on the other side of the galley. All have a toilet and separate shower. There is carpeting in the rooms and the mattresses are top of the line. Sightline views are amazing and your guests will be sure to enjoy their quarters.
The main deck layout has a right-hand helm station to the front and a large saloon with fittings you would find in a normal home. The appliances onboard are all high end and distributed by top manufacturers. This room opens to the cockpit with stainless steel framing and hardware. The finish all through the vessel and the woodworking knowhow is visible on all the cabinets, lockers, and doors onboard.
