Princess Y72 Boat Review

Overview

Princess Yachts make a lot of sence in many regions around the world and this Y72 from Princess Yachts is a perfect example. An elegant design that lends herself perfectly towards fully crewed operations here in Thailand yet would also run just fine in Australia being skippered by an owner couple with experience.

The interior space and flow from saloon into cockpit is perfect for relaxing in hot climates and the flybridge features a wonderful dining and relaxing space that's protected from the midday sun and is the perfect place to catch some tropical breeze.

The size of a yacht like this affords you enough space for a proper tender on the swim platform which really opens up possibilities new possibilities like spear fishing and visits to beach clubs and cafes from your tender.

I can see this style of yacht openning up a lifestyle that many people in Hong Kong, Singapore and Bangkok never knew existed. This is a vessel that will keep you safe and comfortable in variable sea states but will also serve as your luxury home for a week at a time should you desire.

I need to stress that SE/Asia is not the same as Australia/Europe and the US when it comes to infrastructure so if you are purchasing and need to bouce some ideas off me then contact me on Minnect as while I believe Princess Yachts are perfectly suited to this region there are other brands which may struggle here so feel free to Minnect me if you need some unbiased advice.
