That is a very nice yacht, love the decor and a nice layout. I agree with you this is more than enough for a family. Great tour Alex thank you.

[@Thjonsson1]

The S Class is just a perfection of yacht! S66 was awesome and still is 5 years after its debut and the S72 too this one would be my choice perfect size

[@nicbennett6554]

Brilliant review Alex and a superb yacht. I’d struggle to justify the extra cost of the S72, although I do like the new S80! The entire S range is really impressive and a great blend between sports and flybridge.

Fascinating tour and sea trial Alex 👍 Princess seem to be pulling a great range together.

[@FLGurl]

Very well presented. Many thanks!

[@maryholder3795]

Nice, but Princess does interesting boats, that meets many different needs of sailors. Families, a couple and friends. She not a chapter boat through. But she has all the style, decor and classeof all the Princess ranges. I didn't realise that all the furniture, wiring plugs ect in house. Interesting. Good review and sea trial thanks Alex.

It. Boats don't have pronouns

[@maryholder3795]

​@@dtutsselsailors say she. Why? The tradition of referring to boats as "she" has been around for centuries and has many possible origins,. One of which is Maritime tradition sailors have a deep connection to the sea and their vessels, and personifying boats as females pays homage to their strength and grace. Many boats have been named for females. Family or religious names. So a boat is traditionally a She in the past

[@markshutt1476]

Very nice. I love the smaller fly bridge, if you prefer to drive topside, but don't need to have a big party, this is ideal. Still plenty of room. Personally, I'd like to see a cover to go over everything so you don't need to deal with individual covers. Lose the crew cabin, not worth it. Use the bunk cabin if you really need some crew. Love this boat.

[@ashleyhodgman5246]

Really like this. Thanks Alex

[@tramolho]

What an amazing boat!!! I just can´t understand how a 2M£ boat turns to 3.852M£-ex VAT !!!!

[@GroppeljohannKlotenkempe-vr6oh]

Great tour of a great boat 👍🏻 Thx

[@darthkek1953]

The question perhaps is how does it compare to the Sunseeker 65 Sport? That has the racing-car sports deck, three en-suite cabins, a dedicated dayhead, and a space that can be a 4th bunk cabin or can be turned over to the master cabin if you want a ton more dedicated space. And lots of detailing inside, nothing plain. Interesting how basically the same boat can be done so differently by different yards.

[@Brian-xi3mf]

I'm going Sunseeker, but I think the price is considerably higher! The 4th cabin is actually not a true bunk it only has 1 bed above and storage below. It's a very compromised cabin. There is a video that James from Sunseeker did I believe last year that shows the cabin.

[@darthkek1953]

@@Brian-xi3mf Thanks I'll look or it. We have to be wary about price comparisons, one could be fully loaded the other more barebones. Look Fairline Targa 40. Aquaholic calls it a £550k boat, James from Boats COUK, who is literally the authorised dealer, calls it a £1.2m boat.

[@PeterMartin-l4l]

Looks cold on that fly

[@coalitionperformance5901]

Lovely boat. Just on a side note, the channel still has Nick burnham and even his channel name on the banner - maybe time for an update!) :)

[@origin178]

For interiors, nobody does it better than Princess.

[@denisauguin06]

Amazing boat

[@cookiemonster2299]

Always stunning from PY, cheers. 👍❤️🇬🇧

[@HRkapitan]

Why no joystick, i thought it was pretty much standard now

[@benjones1858]

It’s an option

[@edmorris4103]

What is the air draft on this vessel?

[@GroppeljohannKlotenkempe-vr6oh]

Lickily I am not rich because if I was, I had a hard time to choose between this and the Riva 66 Ribelle. The latter is (mich) prettier, the former is more practical

[@gerhardvanwaltsleben8944]

Lekker man lekker 🇿🇦

[@SeanSoraghan]

This or the sunseeker s65 . Which is better ?

[@rtbinc2273]

So Perrin and Rowe no longer makes Princesses sinks? It doesn't look like they make any sinks anymore. Sad - I liked those.

[@clifbradley]

They did a good job on the interior copying Pearl amd Kelly Hoppen .yeah I said it. They got a little bit of Rva and Rairline in there too

[@jacobbesele8713]

Very lovely yacht.but no money for owning it😢

[@jimberghout2902]

I find the visible hinges on the tables are ugly. If you're spending that much money on a boat you think they'd be able to hide the hinges

[@darthkek1953]

Aye, I agree. But pretty sure Princess could make that to a buyer's choice, along with the lower cabin decors.

[@FlyWithMe_666]

looks like they installed it upside down...
