I think a yacht size is perfect. There's enough room to part and just enough for over night stay. Thank you Nick.
Agree completely!
You can easily live aboard, its a 55 footer man, with full size fridge, washer/dryer, watermaker all that stuff. People do week long passages on 30 foot sailboats. Its better than some hotel suites "just enough for overnight stay" lol
You can not fault Princess they are just beautiful yachts. Nice finishes and equipment levels and good layout. Thanks Nick for another great tour.
My pleasure!
What a stunning boat that is Nick.. Princess to me equals style elegance and packaging... So clever how every available space is used for a reason. An aspirational boat if there ever was just one. This thing has everything you could ever want or need in a boat. Great tour Nick. Thank you
Princess really have their eye on the ball at the moment Nick, it seems that whatever they build it's beautiful and ...... well it just works really.
As is the norm Nick, thank you once again.
I don't disagree at all.
As usual Princess build quality shines through
3.5 million would be out of most people reach, but as motivation to make such amount would be a yacht like this. The build quality, space and character of this boat is just spectacular. Well done again nick on such an informative vlog, never fails to cover all aspects. Great boat, great vlog. !!
I’d have absolutely no problem stowing away in those crew quarters. Lovely boat.
Princess never disappoints beautiful boat.
Beautiful, elegant and practical. Not too large, which I prefer.
Wow Nick as it says on the boat it's a 'World Premier' introduction and Nick gets a first review after the Press Day ✔️ 😎 Cheers
Thanks Nik. Your posts always super- but especially like coverage on Princess. Such a gem.
Glad you enjoy them! 🙂
A beautiful boat for a family. Great tour as always.
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
It looks big for a 55ft boat but its pretty expensive for a 55ft boat...
I always get a laugh when you say "I'll edit this bit out later", because you never do, and I'm glad because it gives these such charm. Feels like I'm getting a professional showing by a good friend.
Princess never ceases to amaze. As always another fantastic yacht and a great tour. Thanks Nick :)
My pleasure!
WOW! That's Southampton? I thought it was the med! Great video as always :)
Impresive and good design Princess F55
I know next to nothing about boats of any kind, but I love these reviews! The packaging on these boats amazes me and I always love seeing the surprise "crew areas" that you don't expect. Amazing. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Yes please! 🤪
Always appreciate a princess yacht video 👍❤️🇬🇧
Thanks Nick! Princess just keeps upping it's game...well done!
You're welcome! 🙂
Beautifully designed and appointed Yacht! Thanks for sharing.
Our pleasure!
Ah,Nick reviewing a Princess on a Friday… perfect!
Great work done by Princess as usual. The prices have really skyrocketed. They do build a great quality boat though. I guess you have to weigh if its worth the extra money. Great tour Nick.
Lovely - TY 4 showing off, Nick ;-)
Thanks for watching!
Once upon a time Princess we’re my _favourite_ yachts, but since finding this channel I’ve found so many other gorgeous yachts. Thanks Nick 😊
Ps I’ve updated my profile picture, I hope you still recognise me lol! I used to have red/ginger hair.
Looking good! 🙂
Wonderfully Beautiful
gorgeous! But wouldn’t think any less from princess! at 56 years old, this helps me dream about retirement on one of these someday! perfect for the wife and I and the standard poodles to live on comfortably! thanks for giving us something to dream about Nick! you legend!
I always appreciate when they make the crew cabin nice, even if it is tiny. Plus, you can never have too many beds, in my opinion 😉
True that. 🙂
The perfect family boat !
Nice one again Nick
I have a soft spot for Princess. Great tour as always o/
Thank you! 😄
Would have liked to see a lower-helm side access door.
Thank you AQUAHOLIC compliment explanation exhaustive Yacht Princess F55 $ 3.5 Million beautiful.
Good video nick and another beautiful boat
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
We all love a Princess.
A lovely, sweet little boat, with lots of comfort and even luxury, yet no hint of anything being 'just for show' like many of the larger yachts. I like Princess's thinking!
But prithee, Squire Nick, tell us of your own thinking, wherefore thou hast *forsaken* the fans of thine Burnham Wave™!!
I just like to shake things up a little! 😄
@@AQUAHOLIC We are shaken to our cores...
Amazing boat as i said before i think you get an excellent deal if you purchase one of these.
Good review Nick.
Thanks Bob!
I love when he says crockery lol 😂 😂😂😂😂😂. Always my favorite part!!
I like it a lot. Typical Princess quality & innovative. Even has a little crew cabin for unruly blogger Nick for MaryAnn to vanquish him to when being a bad chap. 😢 Seriously thanks for this Nick great review as always.🙏🇨🇦👍
You have lots of nice watches, Nick. Wouldn't mind a video of your collection. :)
Hello Nick, i like it, when you show us more what is behind all the Doors
Just wonderful
I'd love to see a boat tour on the Big C
Nice yacht! thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
@@AQUAHOLIC 👍👍
3,5 million dollar for a 55 foot princess....my 2014 princess v48 cost around 550.000 dollar when new...thats only 9 years ago
that’s a good deal and the styling isn’t drastically different compared to new models; it’s just the interior that gets updated
The V models are still much cheaper. This is an F
Nick, I know you love Princess Yachts, but I'm seeing 2 million for a brick and mortar home in the Florida Keys, and a 36' open console for about half a mil. I'm still ahead a million and the home (should) appreciate in value, unlike a 3 1/2 million 55'. I guess this Princess is priced that high because they can sell them at that level. As always, nice review. Peace.
Sorry for asking. Would you say that Princess F55 is a good "beginner" yacht if someone just wanted to test if yachtlife if for him?
Great video Nick. Absolutely all the boat you'll ever need, but $3.5 million for a 55 footer... is that right? 🤔
Maybe I'm just getting old, but I saw a vid of a 1990's princess of about the same size for £130k, all cherry wood interior and old school dials and gauges - blue and white on the outside, that appealed to me more than this one.
Luckily I can't afford either so it's not something I have to agonise over!
How is this 3.5m for a sub 60ft
Hi Nick great video as always what would you rather have this princess f55 or the Sunseeker Predator 74 xps mine would be the xps
3.5 million?! Was’nt the F55 like 2 million couple of years ago? Has the price gone up that much? Anyway what a lovley boat!!
0:35 What is the purpose of this elongated hole on the portside of the platform?
I prefer Absolute 52 fly new 2023, more luxury, more habitable, and with a great price comparing this yacht. However, each person tells the impressions of her. Thank you Nick PS or 56 fly Absolute
Stunning, everything in the right place but for me there was just something missing a certain je ne sais quoi if you will. Amazing yacht, way out of my price range but there is always the euro millions
Would love to see your views on the v65 nick
4:28 is that explanation surely correct? I wouldve imagined the 230 V side fridge is the big one in the galley, and the 24V is the small one in the cupboards
Both are 24v/230v and both switch automatically to the higher voltage available.
@@AQUAHOLIC interesting, I wonder what the idea behind it is? I dont know much about boat electronics. You can use them with genny and/or batteries? So if you have enough battery capacity you could anchor overnight with no genny and still have cool fridge, I suppose
@@rykehuss3435 The idea is that the fridges will run regardless, but when shore power or the generator provide a power supply option, they will switch over automatically and will no longer be a drain on the batteries.
I'm curious. How are yacht companies preparing for the EU's diesel ban, which has been moved up from 2035 to 2030 (only six years away)? I've heard that the ban is going to destroy some island communities that rely on diesel boats and trucks. How are people preparing for when diesel is no longer available? I imagine that not having diesel readily available at stations across the EU will create an unforseen military weakness. 🤔
Think Princess need to tighten up on that price- definitely seems a bit too pricey for the size.
What has happened to the prices of yachts 😂 had a tour for the exact same model but in 2022 at the Southampton Boat show and it was £1.74m doubled in a year!
Isn't it about time you got your own Princess soon? The amazing free publicity they get from you Nick is worth a lot.
If only I could afford one 🙂
did i miss something? where is the obligatory "handsome view" of the bathroom mirror? this boat is really nice. but without a that nice mirror sighting i don't want it!
don't know if I could handle it, but these one seems to be my idea size...
Hello Nick where is this boat show is located?
This was the Southampton Boat Show
Thanks you Elvin
Why is this boat so expensive? Seems like other 55ft boats could cost half as much.
Hi Nick, a F65 is £3m and this boat is almost the same money? seems expensive in comparison?
that's a nice boat but two million more than the Sunseeker Manhattan 55?
At 9:34, what is the name/model of the yacht on the left? Very sleek!
That's a Princess V55, there's a tour of one on the channel.
@@AQUAHOLIC thanks, I enjoy your videos! Great content!
This boat has been unchanged for a number of years now. In fact there is an Aquaholic review from 2021 and it is more or less the same model. Where is the innovation, dropped sides for instance to increase the deck area. In fact the only thing that Princess have changed is the price as it was under a million pounds then!
That’s 3.3 million euros! Or 3 times the price of a prestige 520, or a galeon 510, with same specs, or twice the price of a fairline, or a galleon 560!
Insane premium, definitely disproportionate to the value of the proposition compared to the available alternatives. I will pass on this one.
Does it mean that Sunseeker,Galeon,Pearl,All Italian brands,etc are not as good a finish and quality with their boats as Princess?
No mirror wave😂
1)galeon
2)princess
Lovely, but my heart goes to Pearl 72.....better looking and 1 mil less
Isn`t this too expensive for it`s size? Jeez
Unruly teenagers, know the term too well.
All the yacht you could ever want as an owner operator. Great tour Nick thank you. Have great weekends one and all.
'I'll edit this bit out later' is always my favourite part
3 years ago the F55 was 950k now it tuens out to be 3.5M
Ahhh, a brand new Princess F55, an Aquaholic tour of it and a beer, is all I need to be happy. Thank you very much Nick 😀
Cheers! 🍻
Is this real price? I mean why did Princess became so expensive? For the same price you can get the 3 years old Princess Y78. The yacht is basically the same as the past ones yet they charge 60+% more? Bruhhh
3.5$ a little bit too much for a 55foot. Another Brand you would becoming 70-80 Footer or a Pershing 6x / 7x
well... its a princess, its like saying 400k for a rolls royce is a lot, you could buy 10 vw golf for that money.
but i do agree, you can buy more boat for the same money. brand new boats are not really the best value for money
@@steel424 The Princess have a good build quality but for same price you will becoming a Riva 66 Ribelle with more space, more power , more design and a Brand which is more to Rolls Royce like at boots or not ? And the reselling Prices by a Riva is much higher than a used princess. For me Princess is a step higher as Sunseeker under 100 foot yachts. Maybe that’s why Sunseeker CEO was changed to the actually Italian one. To rises quality and design for Sunseeker products. Maybe the Price is wrong instead 3.5 maybe 1.5 (max 2.0) for a 55 footer
@@Alexander-zs5rj I don‘t believe the 66 Ribelle has more space. Furtheron the Riva is less functional. But basically I agree with your comment and would prefer the Riva all day
Nice tour, as ever, Nick. I am, however, puzzled at the price. $3.5M = £2.92M = Euros 3.3M. A Cranchi 67 Fly is circa Euros 2.6M and the Fairline Sqn 68 is circa £2.5M, according to reviews. That makes the smaller Princess 55 very expensive indeed. The Sunseeker Manhattan 55 is about £1.9M ex VAT. That makes it an absolute steal. Has the Princess got every option ticked, though obviously not the hard top, US delivery and export taxes included? Just thought I'd ask as it's lottery night tonight. 🤞🤞🤞.
Price has jumped up.Personally my fav just about the right size etc
There is a lot packed into that beautiful yacht as is expected of any offering from Princess. The accommodations look very comfortable and well planned--even the crew (unruly teenager) cabin. The spacious flybridge would be a great place to spend a day on the water. Thanks Nick for another great tour.
You're very welcome! 🙂
All boats need to have a brig to toss in those brats when they become unruly!
@@jeremyevans9521🤨
A little pricey at 3.5 but still a beautiful boat. Thanks Nick
Way over priced at 3.5…..only about 1.5 at best
It's no Gulf Craft Majesty 175 but it's a Princess what more is to say it's a Princess! But I will comment on this,3yrs ago this model the F55 was £995,000 and now just a short 3yrs difference it's gone to 3.5mill,just one question how? 🤔👌🖖
I mean 3.5m.. My impression is plastic and cheap. Something feels off with Princess. Thanks for an other great video though.
F55 is not US$3.5M. Base model without options & taxes is US$1.65M
I wasn't expecting to like that crew cabin, but it's actually quite nice. Great, as usual.
$3.5million? I'd expect it lol
Princess is why to expensive there is much cheaper alternatives witch are just as good if not better
Surely it is a $1.5 mil and not $3.5… :)?
$3.5 Millions? So where is the second yacht??
3.5MUSD for a sub 60ft boat…? What the hell has happened the last two years?
Nick, can you explain why a similarly luxury Azimuth yacht of size/class is significantly cheaper?
E.g. A new Azimuth 53 is half the price...
Nice boat for sure, but I simply can't help myself comparing that to the Galeon 640 (which seems quite similar, but for half the price!), or my all-time-favourite, the marvellous Cranchi 78, which is more like a true superyacht, but for the same price!
As always, lovely tour. Thanks, Nick, always a pleasure!
Way too expensive. There are bigger, better and more beautifull yachts for half the price. Like the galeon 680 fly.
What a nice boat. I miss a door besides the helm station and a tender garage. I dont understand why they do not add the tender garage to the F55, as the V55 who shares the same hull and layout inside has the tender garage.
Thanks for the tour
Can someone explain to me how is it possible that 4 years ago (3 years before this video) you posted the very same Princess F55 with the price of 995.000£? Has the price tripled in 3 years or so??
I'm struggling with this one. Why in the world would I buy this when I can get a Sunseeker 76 for literally the same price? There is no amount of quality that can make up for 21 feet less at the same price... and sunseeker is still high quality. The Princess S78 is only 800k more... why not buy that?
This boat makes sense at 1.5M, not at 3.5M.
Great tour Nick, as usual. Beautiful yaght but it seems overpriced for its 55 size. There so many other options with much less money, bigger size and very good quality. For example, the Absolute Navetta 64 with 2.2 m is by far better choice.
