Imagine spending $2.35 million on a new boat and ending up with the poverty spec (no TVs, no dishwahetr, no laundry, tiny fridge, none of that beautiful Princess high-gloss wood). If this was a BMW 3-series, this would be the $399 monthly lease special.

[@blewyd]

I guess depends on the needs of the owner. I would have just bought a 2 year old princess than this spec.

[@theshizow]

Imagine thinking the less than $10,000 worth of features the owner didn’t want will really affect the price 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@mattmatt7305]

It’s going to Windermere so it’s probably for lake rental / charter.

[@99dndd]

Imagine going on a boating holiday to watch TV. To each their own, why pay for it if you don’t want it?

[@debbiejudd4933]

I agree.

[@r.a.monigold9789]

Princess cleverly decided to not fit the accommodations of a 70 foot boat into this 50 footer - like "other" boat makers have done. The result is a spacious feeling everywhere. The finishes are upscale but subtle. Everything looks to fit without crowding. Very nice job, Princess, very nice. And to our host who has been boating since birth, the guy who dispatches more boating information casually than some educational Tubers do intentionally and remodeled his home as the interior of a yacht - thank you, Nick.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You're very welcome! 🙂

[@andybob1001]

Interesting spec, teak decks but no TV’s, washer, or fly bridge fridge. Great boat nonetheless. Just thought it is a bit of an interesting spec.

[@alisavas9526]

Great tour of this beautiful Princess. When you said Windermere I couldn't stop myself from thinking that this is a lot of boat for a relatively small and narrow lake (10m x 1m) with a speed restriction of 10 nmph max for power boats. It will offer great comfort for sure and maybe the owner has some other plans too.

[@nickhall263]

Youd be surprised how many boats sit berthed in the marinas and never go out.

[@bobbrezniak6386]

It has probably been said before, but I absolutely love how you do these reviews. Just the fact you describe and explain stuff on each video rather than assuming the audience knows what it is. This makes every single video interesting and enjoyable to people of all experience levels. Quick example We recently went to a boat show and my wife got irritated with the salesman and told him...and I quote..."I'm done with you. I'll go watch the aquaholics guy and see if I like this boat or not".

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you like them! 🙂

[@pcleme1283]

Professional video as always Nick but £2 million for a fifty footer with a lot of extras missing seems a little steep even for Princess.

[@mareewalker1096]

He gives standard price no options! I love princess but new there a complete rip off! used is the way to go! 2 to 4 years old with under 250 hours on engines for a few million less than new! God bless all and happy sailing 🙏❤⚓🛥

[@seanogden927]

Beautiful yacht, great simple layout and flow with great colours and finishes. Nice sized engine room. Love this one, great video Nick thank you.

[@WilliamONeill-qh5gn]

I have to say this is what I would call the perfect boat. Big enough to give you tons of room, small enough to operate yourself. The quality throughout, from the design right through to construction and finishes, is off the scale. I also like the Galeon, but this shades it for me. Great tour as usual Nick, thank you for the great content and your insightful, informative and humorous presentation.

[@simono4991]

One of the under-rated pleasures in life is sitting down to a spot of lunch and finding a new Princess video on Aquaholic. We do love a Princess. That's a big chunk of boat to have on Lake Windermere, assuming I heard you right Nick?

[@harleyrider-kj2vf]

That's what I thought too. This size yacht is well suited to Lake Ontario, if fresh water is preferred. Nice layout, though some creature features that I like are missing (saloon and owner's suite TV, fly bridge fridge, dishwasher..). Good job as always Nick.

[@jaimiemadden590]

Thank you for this review of the updates on the 50’ great tour as always Have a great day Nick

[@terryhughes7349]

They packed a lot of features on this boat. I like it!

[@MikeW80]

Beautiful owner-operator yacht! Love it. The master cabin is great! Love the fly bridge too.

[@johningham4942]

another informative tour of the princess F50 nick, it is well laid out and a great boat for the owner operator market.

[@FLGurl]

Base $2.35M. Add-ons: $750K. Aquaholic video ~ priceless! 🍷

[@jamarie1972]

Lovely boat, nice to cruise around the coast with this one pop over to France for a weekend away. Cheers Nick and Marrianne great tour as always

[@MakayCapps]

Loved this boat! Thanks Nick!

[@brianmiller6443]

I love princess yachts. The price does seem a bit high. I also have been on a lot of boats and Princess quality is far better than most. Walk in any of their competitors engine room and you'll see the difference. Great tour Nick

[@kenhasibar2624]

Come on, Powerball!! Daddy wants a yacht! 🤞

[@8MoonsOfJupiter]

Such a beautifully finished boat - classy and understated, I tihnk Princess got the balance just right here. The wow factor for me was the owners cabin - it was really spacious and well appointed, but the sitting area made it feel cosy and intimate at the same time. A really lovely boat!

[@michaelbellsmith5113]

Beautiful boat, thank you Sir Nick

[@ianjestico1588]

Another great tour and great boat Nick

[@bobt3374]

Always a very nice boat so well equiped & attention to detail. good review Nick.

[@timk3939]

My favourite boat. It's a great blend of everything.

[@andyraven9855]

It's no Gulf Craft Majesty 175 but every time I see a Princess I can't help wondering if my eldest nephew had a part in building that particular boat, he's worked at the Plymouth factory for a number of years now bless him. The tweaks here and there like the one piece windscreen are definite improvements for sure what's not to like. It's got everything you need and it's done well, not a lot more you can say really 🤗👌🖖

[@jimmyquinn9639]

Lovely boat nick and a great video as always 🛥🚤⛵️👍👍👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@irishterminator.]

Hey Nick you had me at the word Princess I always thought that if I won the lottery my first big spend would be a Princess yacht , dreams change but I still love the quality from Princess and have a great day to you and all 👍

[@rasferrastfarian739]

A very nice 50! thanks Nick!

[@johngauntlett4915]

Nick, very smart looking boat. Great size for a family to do island hopping in the Bahamas and southward.

[@markasomerville]

Princess just know how to make a yacht. Its class all the way through. The engine room surprised me, how big it is. Boats bigger than her have less room in their engine room. I noticed your magic shoes, you was wearing them looking at the grill on the fly bridge. Then when you went between the pilot seats you was wearing just your socks. Great video as always Nick. Thank you for taking us on tour of her

[@tedtheturbot]

Classic layout well finished. Like the option to have the switch gear covered to stop the children. Thanks Nick.

[@markwalsh8913]

Nick, your tours are so good & you are getting so many followers, that it’s only a matter of time before we see a boat for sale that says “As seen on Aquaholic” 😂😂😂😂

[@tristanpage6805]

Nice packaging. Great video

[@andrewpetley4468]

Lovely boat and such a well thought out floor plan. I'd choose this over a Galeon any day as the quality of this one is unmatched.

[@manuelvanderslikke680]

Hi Nick, And thank you for this nice show of this New Princess F50. They did do a lot of nice upgrades bigger windows everywhere looks great I love the new color on the upholstery that grey and white very smart but also i like the cockpit table and settee that looks great and that is there already for many year great Thanks again Nick a great show ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@JohnnyC10071959]

Another great tour.

[@kreabea78]

this is the kind of yacht i would buy if i had the money. Perfect size, not too big, can be easily run by 2 people and you can feel the quality. What more do you need to cruise the med during the summer. nice review as always.

[@itsallgonemad]

Still a favourite of mine for sure, lovely boat 😃👍🏻

[@toddbarry1479]

Is euro millions on tonight...May just have to get a ticket...what a beauty. Cheers Nick 🙏🙏🤙🤙

[@chrisoleary9876]

Thanks Nick. Nice to see a "unfinished" version.

[@loki7441]

What a lovely boat, just what you expect from Princess. Its a lot of boat for Windermere, I think you said it was going. But where better to lie at anchor on a sunny day with a cool drink and absorb the scenery.

[@cbrusharmy]

Princess is always top notch, but they're more so with cleaner windows. Thanks for a pleasurable Tuesday morning.

[@peterjordan-turner8789]

I know you love your superyachts, but this kind of boat makes the perfect tour.

[@zucods]

Just gorgeous.. Princess, you BEAUTY!

[@peterdodge6563]

Another beauty. ❤

[@FU2Max]

Think i might of said this before, love Princess. Great vid as always o/

[@jamesrichardson476]

Someone has already mentioned this, but kudos to the Princess Sales Team for selling a boat capable of 30+ knots to someone who will be keeping it on Windemere (speed limit 10 mph :))

[@keitharmitage6067]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@madplumpy1]

My thoughts too! Seems a bit of a waste to stick it on Windemere. It’s not like you can go far.. up the lake (@10mph) down the lake (@10mph) and repeat ad infinitum. 😉 Having said that, it’s probably a relatively ‘cheap’ way of getting a lakeside property. Houses on the lakeside are crazy money

[@jamesrichardson476]

@@madplumpy1 Good point. Rather like people buying similar craft and keeping them in Poole Harbour because they can't afford a house on the beach at Sandbanks 👍

[@strider6920]

I love how Princess are always evolving their yachts. Just when you thought they were perfect, they improve it !

[@ThoughtfulWander]

Great tour as always! Thanks for sharing! Nice boat! 👍👍

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks for watching! 🙂

[@ThoughtfulWander]

@@AQUAHOLIC 👍👍

[@oneslackr]

Thank you for the tour Nick. Nice updates but it is pricey for a relatively small boat. I'd have to take my $2.35 million and look at other options where you can get a lot more boat for the money.

[@SteffiLewis]

Not sure I'd want to put a boat like that on a lake like WIndemere. Seems a bit of a waste of all that power! Still, you wouldn't have to wash the salt off ...

[@Sarrienne]

Nice tidy and discrete little Wave there, Nick. Seems very appropriate for a boat like this, actually. I guess either the owner likes a bit of minimalism, or they're planning on adding more stuff at a later date? The rear storage area in the transom was pretty decent, and the chain locker unusually large, I thought. This is possibly the first time I liked a flybridge helm better than the main.

[@amcconnell6730]

Seems a crazy big engine space on a smaller boat.

[@Philipk65]

Great video Nick. Princess makes a very nice boat. It looks to me that the space up the back in the engine compartment, between the pods would be ideal for a sea-keeper stabiliser.

[@jamesc4686]

that's almost exactly where it goes if you tick the option - in the centre but slightly forward of the pods.

[@origin178]

But at around $60k+, perhaps the owner thought it an unnecessary expense for use on a lake!

[@BuddhaAfterDark]

Lovely 50 footer. Reminds me why I fell in love with Yahcting... just not quite big enough for the three of us. :)

[@matthewjung2313]

Awesome

[@sirmurf]

Good tour of a nice boat, but Absolute Navetta 48 for me. Or a 52 Fly. No bunk beds.

[@michaelscott4766]

Interestingly, with such a lot of space in the engine room, they didn't include a big garage. Nice video as always.

[@gloriousradio]

At first I thought, "Windermere? Eh?" but it kind of makes perfect sense for a weekender and holiday home that you can just sail into the middle of a big lake and enjoy the peace and quiet - gentle pootling territory, stunning in all weathers, and considering the rest of the north west coast isn't all that for boating, probably quite convenient for the owner.

[@origin178]

It will need an exceedingly long anchor chain to sit in the middle of the lake :-)

[@Jagcycle]

Feels like more than a touch of Galeon in this one. That's not a bad thing.

[@briansmith1029]

Lovely boat I would imagine owner will install TVs and dishwasher apart from that it's looking good nick

[@mmsmits2868]

Always loved Princess Yachts, just because of how coherent the entire boat is. This owner may regret some of the niceties like a TV and a dishwasher and washing machine, but won't have any regrets about the boat itself. Excellent tour as usual! Thanks!

[@TravelonlineWalk]

just wow

[@clifbradley]

Let's talk about that pearlescent effect paint, on a production yacht...mind blown head explodes🤯.

[@kevinsimm2063]

Nice boat , nice spec , big enines on this one for the lake district?

[@normangeilich3437]

Thx for the Tour. When i see that Engineroom. Isnt there any Space and Option for a Tendergarage?

[@danielamazing3264]

Princess yachts never disappoint; the F50 has been refined perfectly and this is the result a very high quality beautiful boat! Lovely tour as always Nick thanks.

[@markwarn6085]

Great boat, not high spec for the cost but good tour from Nick.

[@debbiejudd4933]

For tbe price theres a lot missing. What were they thinking. Thank you Nick

[@120Livi]

i feel like putting this boat on a 10 mile x 1200m inland lake is doing it a great injustice!

[@londislagerhound]

Yeah, I thought that too.

[@subsoar5734]

so glad that it has the built in drinking and driving cooler

[@turnski01]

‘Big draws’ under the bed comment made me 😂

[@stefanEf]

Great video, as always. Thanks for the update! But I don't see here 2.35 Mio, don't matter if USD, EURO or... Sorry.

[@paulideez]

2.2 million and no dishwasher or washing machine??

I’m always impressed with Princess’s attention to detail

[@joecartwright9221]

[@rockzhard2009]

a big thumbs up for the, as usual, wonderful tour, but a big no thank you for the discount optioned but not discount priced boat.

[@ta-fw4lc]

Thank you! But I have a question that I noticed you have a video for older version F50 2yrs ago, but how can this new F50 doubled the price?

[@davebuckman8841]

Nice but still wait with baited breath for a review of the V65

[@Mrcoffindodger]

cant believe a boat this size is going onto Lake Windermere, get it out onto open water and amke full use of it

[@LKESBO]

Prices were high before the coronavirus era , and now it went crazy unbelievable

[@ddraigcymraeg1549]

Hi Nick, loving your boat tours,very informative and great camera work. I have two quick questions for you. If you were to purchase a new boat tomorrow, which helm system would you prefer, Raymarine, simrad or garmin? And secondly, how much does it cost to hire a captain to drive the boat, for example a Navetta 64? Thanks.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I have Raymarine but the other systems are very popular too. No idea how much to hire a captain, I've never done it. Glad you're enjoying the tours! 🙂

[@Kim_Jensen]

Princess, expensive but lovely. This F50 looks like it's one of best in it's class. Love it. Thank you for the tour 😀

[@scottprice8994]

It seems you have a live audience, Nick. Ha ha

[@onefrazzer]

I thought it was going to be the 70 marianne was on other day when I seen princess very nice boat still think its a bit of waste just going to go round the lake at windermere

[@geraldhaid7794]

Realy nice Boat. 👍🏻 But for more or less 400.000$ more, i prefere the Galeon 640 Fly.

[@Erica_Brenda]

It's a very nice boat. I am surprised they did not put in all the extras, like washer/dryer and TVs for the show. It would show better and I think some people need that visual., But over all, for a 50 foot boat, it is quite nice!

[@karstenpedersen7749]

Well, I guess the owner of the sold boat would be rather upset if he got a boat full of holes.

[@Erica_Brenda]

@@karstenpedersen7749 I see. So this is your passive aggressive way of telling me this was a sold boat and not a simple display in a boat show. Interesting POV. Good luck with that attitude.

[@karstenpedersen7749]

@@Erica_Brenda It wasn't intended to be passive aggressive, I'm more of an openly aggressive type 😅 Have fun judging people when failing to pay attention yourself👍

[@Thjonsson1]

For everyone pointing at the price. The world isn’t normal at the moment. Prices has skyrocketed. The price on materials is going up everyday. Also princess can’t produce as many boats as they won’t due to the current lack of delivery of parts and materials. With that being said I would go for a 10-12 year old princess V62 that’s a beautiful timeless piece of boat

[@theduvals2763]

Any news on getting your hands on a Silent 80 Nick ?

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Nothing yet

[@bluegrasskid4835]

Nick, is this F50 a more "premium" version than the F50 you reviewed two years ago? I ask because the price two years ago was 940,000 Pounds (I think that would be approx 1.2 Mill Dollars) whereas this one is 2.35 Mill dollars.

[@chrisdurham2479]

I can’t see how this can be $2.3m

[@chrisdurham2479]

Unless with that $2.3m you get someone included to do the washing up for 10 years who also doubles up as someone who stands where the tv should be to entertain you. Oh and also wafts you with a hand held fan when it gets too hot because I didn’t spot any air con (not that you need it for Windermere because it rains 364 days of the year, but for resale this boat would go to the med or south coast).

[@Thjonsson1]

Inflation

[@chrisdurham2479]

It’s an inflatable? 🤣 inflation can be blamed for some of the high prices. But I imagine greed can also be blamed in areas.

[@simonoxenham2748]

nicer boat but side by side the galleon 500 stands out for me which is sad as i really want to like the princess after being born and living in Plymouth for 35 years

[@MrArchie800]

Yes the Galeon 500 is hard to beat for features and space. I'm actually surprised some of the more 'premium' manufacturers like Princess are not copying some of the Galeon features particularly the rotating cockpit seating or the adaptable bow seating/sunbed arrangement and possibly the drop balconies, tender garage etc.. I suspect the Princess is superior to the Galeon in terms of seaworthiness and build quality though.

[@Drew67072]

At least the Owner has Maiden Marine at lake Windermere for the servicing of the IPS drives

[@willwud]

I guess you don’t know until you get up close to the build quality but princess and sunseeker always seem very expensive compared to others for what you get 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Paul37Ontario]

2.35Mil and only one generator, no water maker, no gyro stabilizer. Your into Riva money here. I would get a Riva over this any day.

[@hollywoodzzz]

Boat like that on windermere ? surprised didnt have seakeeper fitted seems a waste, takes all sorts I guess 😮😅

[@varen6]

Compare it with a 2003 model and think whether the updated design is worth the extra millions, does it drive any better than a 2003, will my children have more fun a day at anchor in a bay???

[@user-negadzila]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@nicbennett6554]

Great tour of another lovely Princess. BUT!! Why spend all the money on a boat without some options that people would certainly want as second owners. AND, why buy a boat that can do 30+ knots when it’s never going to go above 10?! If I were Princess, I’d of refused to sell it to them. 😂

[@markukblackmore]

I thought F50s were far less expensive than that. Is there a mistake in the price or have they increased in price by rather a lot?

[@Thjonsson1]

It’s due to the inflation and price on materials
