Owner Experience Review
Owners of the PRINCESSF 45typically use it for family cruising and weekend leisure, leaning on the two‑cabin, two‑head layout and the full‑beam owner’s cabin with proper headroom. The galley‑aft saloon, large hull windows and an extended flybridge foster easy socializing, and the electrically sliding transom seat can open up the cockpit when you need more space. An owner story also highlights the attention to detail and perceived build quality.
On the water, the F 45is repeatedly described as confident and composed for a 45‑ft flybridge. The deep‑V hull and Volvo Penta IPS joystick make close‑quarters work far less stressful — "The new boat ... is also much easier to manoeuvre and park in the marina, thanks also to her IPS pod drive." With the IPS600 package, reports quote roughly 29–31 knots at the top and an easy cruise in the high‑20s.
Day‑to‑day ownership brings a few considerations. Forum discussions note earlier‑generation IPS reliability issues (with comments that newer units seem improved), and the combination of IPS and a midships full‑beam master reduces lazarette/storage and alters access to some gear and engine spaces. If a line fouls an IPS pod, owners point out it may require a liftout rather than a quick in‑water fix, while remote monitoring such as a Siren Marine system has proven useful for alerts like shore‑power loss.
Pros and Cons
- IPS joystick makes marina manoeuvring and parking straightforward.
- Confident handling with a composed ride; IPS600 delivers roughly 29–31 knots top and cruises in the high‑20s.
- Full‑beam owner’s cabin and the galley‑aft/extended‑flybridge layout create strong social spaces for family use.
- Earlier‑generation IPS units have reported reliability issues on forums, even if newer units seem improved.
- IPS and the full‑beam master reduce lazarette space and change access to gear and engine spaces.
- A fouled line on an IPS pod may require a liftout rather than a quick in‑water fix.
