Owner Experience Review
Owners of the F55fromPRINCESSuse it confidently as an owner‑operator for private family cruising and even charter work. The flybridge is a standout social space — several report “we can comfortably get 12 people up here,” and it feels more like a 60–65‑footer. The galley‑aft arrangement ties the cockpit and saloon together for easy entertaining, while the full‑beam owner’s cabin earns praise for space and finish, with abundant natural light and sensible storage throughout.
On the water, the ride and handling are solid, and noise levels remain low at cruise (around 70 dB(A) in testing). When planing, most owners sit between 18 and 22 knots; equally, many run slow displacement passages to conserve fuel. With a Seakeeper gyro fitted, comfort at anchor and at lower speeds is frequently described as a game changer.
From an upkeep perspective, engine‑room access is very good, with space around the motors and tidy plumbing and wiring. That said, multiple owners report new‑build snagging and subsequent warranty fixes, so a thorough survey and punch list are advisable. In hotter climates, some have seen leather upholstery fade or blister, and forum advice highlights checking gearboxes and the flywheel/drive plate for delamination on shaft‑drive examples.
Pros and Cons
- Solid ride and quiet cruise (around 70 dB(A)) with composed handling.
- Large, social flybridge and galley‑aft layout; owners report seating a crowd of 12 comfortably.
- Good engine‑room access with neat plumbing and wiring for easier maintenance.
- Reports of new‑build snagging and quality‑control remediation post‑delivery.
- Leather upholstery can fade or blister in hot, sun‑exposed climates.
- Forum advice to inspect gearboxes and flywheel/drive plate for delamination on shaft‑drive boats.
