Owner Experience Review
Owners use the F 55byPRINCESSas a family cruiser and true owner-operator boat, often as a weekend “second home” thanks to its three-cabin, two-head layout and sensible flow. One owner put it simply: "We love to go boating on the French Riviera," while another upgraded "because we wanted more space on board." Professional reviews frequently note the saloon/galley ergonomics and the level of finish, including grain-matched wood and bespoke joinery.
On the water, the deep‑V PRINCESShull is consistently described as composed in chop with predictable handling offshore. Owners and testers typically cruise around 25 knots, with test figures near 29 knots on more powerful or well‑trimmed examples; fitting a Seakeeper has been reported to markedly reduce roll and enhance comfort for a 55‑foot flybridge.
The ownership picture includes caveats. Forum threads cite early commissioning faults on some new builds—air‑conditioning issues, watermaker leaks or membranes, Mastervolt/inverter problems, and navigation/autopilot/electrical glitches—as well as reports of water ingress (from cockpit to engine room and lazarette drainage) and occasional cosmetic defects at handover. Practical complaints include tight service access (e.g., needing tools to remove the engine‑room ladder to reach the genset) and, in hot climates, external upholstery on bow seating showing blistering/bubbling; ongoing annual servicing and maintenance is commonly estimated in the $60k–$88k range for this size and class.
Pros and Cons
- Deep‑V hull delivers composed, predictable handling in chop and offshore conditions.
- Comfortable real‑world cruise around 25 knots, with test figures near 29 knots on well‑trimmed examples.
- Three‑cabin, two‑head layout with notably good saloon/galley ergonomics and finish quality.
- Reports of early technical and commissioning faults (air‑conditioning, watermaker, Mastervolt/inverter, navigation/autopilot/electrical).
- Forum reports of water ingress and cosmetic defects noted during handovers.
- Annual servicing and maintenance commonly estimated around $60k–$88k for this size/class.
