Jack, you and nick burnham are the best reviewers in the world!
Casually walks past the Crew Cabin without even a glance ...... He's good but he's no Nick Burnham! 😉 @aquaholic 👍
Agree, so bloody frustrating ... he has no idea and this is a Princess, not a dinghy, we expect better.
Apologies. A rushed job during a lull at the boat show, we will do better next time!
Untwist your knickers, John Smith. They're both good, but both under time pressure. I like Nick too, but MB&Y pointed out the aft controls (at 2:37) and showed the interior of the tender garage which I personally like to see.
@@RedKiwi88 Wow sensational. You have Jacinta Ardern standards ... no knickers required.
You said it Gareth. 👍
Jack, I have been watching your MB&Y videos for years. I even made a comment about your black eye a few years ago. Your videos are the BEST in the business. Your comprehensive explanations of boats are 2nd to none. Your experience and hard work have hopefully paid off. Bravo! You are a true boat professional!
Thanks for the kind words, we'll pass them on.
Princess has done a wonderful job of tweaking and upgrading this model. I like the galley on the main deck. A cook can easily tend the broiler and the stovetop and oven for the same meal.
Straight to the point, price, performance specs etc. Excellent video
Jack is the best. He needs a raise.
This may be my new favorite boat...until my next favorite comes along 😀
I see some prince yachts at Brighton mariner they look amazing ever since I.was a young man I've also love the look of the princess yachts.
only over a million
great to see you are catering for the masses
Who doesn't have a Mill these days?
If you want a more affordable boat, here's what £60k gets you... th-cam.com/video/v8Bd6ccc00Y/w-d-xo.html
He is still good though . Nobody is perfect . I lookforward to view the full report . With my best wishes
I really like videoes with Jack Haines
Wow. This makes the "Fairline or Princess" question much harder..those Art Deco rounded profiles on the interior..wow
Princess F49
Princess all the way. Better quality of finish and holds value better.
For the same money the Fairline GTO 63 is way ahead. Princess has pretty much copied the Fairline GTO 63, made it into a 55, compromised the third cabin and does not have pod drives and virtual anchoring, which is very attractive to new boaters and ownner skippers who don't want a crew.
Pod drives make berthing and maneuvering so much easier.
Princess is no longer a leader. Fairline has taken that mantra.
@@lambodriver6983 We agree on Lambos, but I'm afraid Princess is falling behind Fairline in innovation.
Hey Jack. I've been critical of some of your videos in the past, but this was a good one.
Great to see you open doors, garage, drawers, dish washer, fridge and stern drive pods etc.
Love that all white kitchen bench top and cook top it keeps the lines of the galley looking clean and sharp.
Pity you never opened crews quarters, but otherwise a great job ... well done.
Can't wait to see the sea trial. This boats on my list now and should fit the pontoon of a new house I'm looking at.
By the way the manicured stubble suits you.
Great video!👍
Change the shutter speed to match the frequency of the power. 1/50 or 1/60. Or intervals thereof.
Great tour!
I see the Princess yachts every day in the Millbay Marina in Plymouth. I always asked myself how the boats look inside, now i know.
Very nice finishes and layout. Love it. When will you be posting the walkthrough of the updated Y78?
We're hoping to do a full review and sea trial of that boat, watch this space.
@@MotorBoatYachting great can't wait.
Great video:-):-) watching you from san francisco. Princess makes some of the beat yaughts in the industry hands down. Can you review some of the new princes s line with half flybridge. Thanks:-):-)
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
We have reviewed the the S60 and S65:

Happy watching!
Just for ease of short-handed family use, the V40. Also under 44 foot (registered length) keeps it shy of class XII regulations.
It is interesting how Azimut started using grey tinted woods some two years ago and now everyone is followiing. It is interesting how Azimut was using Cherry wood in 1986 and then in 92/93 everyone started following. It is interesting how Azimut started using Wenge in 2003 and and in 2007 everyone started following. It is interesting how Azimut started using Oak in 2007 and everyone in 2011 started following. May be if there was no Azimut boats would still be in dark mahogany wood? I love the double dinette as I think first shown in the Princess V57 at around 2011. I think that boat does not gets praised enough may be because it was launched in difficult economic times.
u should buy asimut. i like them also but arent the only ones and arent because of asimut we see progress in yatch ahahhahahaa relax my man
It's nice but I still prefer the Fairline Targa GT, if only my budget would stretch beyond a canoe!
¿Está diseñado por pininnfarina?
Its nice but I think they have lacked in not providing the tile effect in the bathroom to give it a premium feel.
Very nice boat.
Last month i keep ask to myself, "why V55 is cost less than Riviera 5400 with that feature?". Now i know why Riviera is cost more... CE certificate, blue water capability or maybe you guys can tell me more... Thanks MB&Y
I want to see the crew quarters
How would you compare this to the 57 sunseeker predator/60 Evo or the filippetti 55S? All three are similar size. Does one stand out over the other in your opinion?
Nice boat!
Motorboat and Yachting, any idea when the sea trial for this will be?! Thanks
I was on a 1981 56ft widebody hatteras and a 2007 47ft carver voyager. Both were nicer.
The problem with the new Princess models; they look "modern". Hence they'll look out of date very soon. I do like the concept of a sports cruiser though. But you know which 55 footer really gets my blood flowing; the new (hopefully soon to be tested by mby) Solaris Power 55. Excellent design by one of the worlds biggest names in the business.
Great presentation, except you didn't show the crew space which I take it is aweful.
Point taken, we'll get a good shot of it when we do the full sea trial.
CAN YOU DO A REPORT ON THE JEANNEAU LEADER 46 PLEASE.
Here's our first-look review from the 2015 Cannes show: th-cam.com/video/rs7mM6u7jNs/w-d-xo.html
New camera?
Love this boat. Would be my number one choice if I had the means.
One question. Why do manufacturers always put a mirror under the cover of the outdoor bbq’s?! What’s the point of it?! 😆
I believe that is for thermal protection.
Nicolas Pugh thanks. Didn’t think of that!
Looks more like it is highly polished stainless steel, and yes for reflecting heat .
55 footer has a crew cabin?
Rarely for long-term crew. More like hiring a skipper for a night or two so you can get drunk with guests, hiring a chef for an evening's catering, but 9 times out of 10 it's where you decant the children to.
Still prefer Sunseeker equivalent, but it’s a nice boat. Why do they, except for aquaholic, never show the crew cabin?

Don’t like these boats they are producing without the flybridge, you cannot beat driving your boat in the fresh air and the sunshine, why are they doing this??
Premier productions Liverpool , the roof opens above the helm by quite some distance to provide that open air feel. Calling it a sunroof would do it a disservice, it really does open up quite a way.
drloppy Even so, you cannot beat a flybridge. My F 42 is amazing but I am looking to upgrade to a 55 foot but really not into these sport coupes
Premier productions Liverpool each to their own and I hope you have many happy days with your new 55 if you get it. You questioned why are they doing this? Different horses for different courses. The flybridge boats are inevitably a little top heavier and hence lose their manoeuvrability and sporty feel a little. Some people prefer not to lose those characteristics. Happy boating 👍
drloppy Thanks. I know why they are doing it, it was just a figure of speech. You still cannot beat driving around the Balearic Islands on the flybridge ha ha thanks again
In an area where there are waterways with low bridges, (some parts of America), they love these low profile boats but I think it is all personal preference. Some love a flybridge, others don't. Just catering to various markets.

What makes you ask that question in the title? I dont really see anything new, anything innovative or much improved over the competition.
Agree. They have copied the Fairline GTO 63 and compromised so much in the process.
@@JohnSmith-zo6ir --- sometimes less is more.
@@drx1xym154 In this case less is really less. They should have used a wider hull and maybe compromised 5 knots which would still deliver a respectable 30 knots, provided a decent third cabin and used pod drives. Even 25 knots would be okay.
This is what happens when you copy and compromise.
Was his filmed with a gopro, need to get lessons from Aquaholic Nick
I wish that I could win the Euro Lottery 😂
Buy XRP, XLM maybe you will
hold the cord so it stops hitting the gimabl. That noise ruins the video
Nice for its class. Even just saying "nice" doesn't feel that positive to me. I know it's not an advertising piece but the prospective purchasers are unlikely to be your average TH-cam viewer.
I find it really hard to be enthusiastic about this one. Jack uses the phrase "contemporary", I realise now I'd be a Trawler man just not a Princess, Sunseeker or Fairline. Someone prove me wrong.
Beneteau 50 Swift Trawler [Walkthrough] th-cam.com/video/smMfD8L3dlc/w-d-xo.html
I think exactly the same
@Gerald Edwards: I see your point, it's a nice piece of kit. But practically my thoughts are if it's for the purchaser to enjoy the drive not just showing others the depths of their pocket then you can't beat the Botnia Targa 30.1. Handled easily by one and a breeze for a couple. If you see the size of vessel in the video ploughing through the Solent invariably there is a male on the wheel and the significant other is seated in the stern reading a book. You can see limited shared enjoyment and, whisper it quietly, the owner would be far better off with a more compact design that you can access with far more ease and confidence.
But then as you might guess I don't have the £1,000,000 burning a hole in my pocket for this one...

Phil B is that you Mr Banerjee?!
I just want to go onto the non-existent flybridge I'm afraid
ياهم لالي على الدعايه
2 day party boat. Flat sea only.
Jeeze, that camera tapping is bloody irritating. If you can't film it properly then leave it to Mr Burnham...
Is the Princess V55 the best sportscuiser on the market? No, its more of a tacky overgrown fridge.
