Princess Y72 review | Princess's latest model faces its toughest test yet | Motor Boat & Yachting 

a tour of this type of yacht should, as a matter of course, incorporate a test ride, as is the case here, so very satisfying viewing.

I don't care what anyone says princess are number ONE in the yacht production side of the industry! Not custom builders to be clear! Stunning looking machines that eat up heavy seas and interior layouts and quality of finish! riva and pershing could argue number 1 but for me princess are the best! Happy sailing all 🛥⚓

That was one of the most professional and thorough presentations I've seen. By the way, the yacht is beautiful. Well done Captain Jack.

Princess always impress me. Loved seeing her splashing around! 👍

I love the decency and sovereignty of Princess. Their yachts have style, class and aren't garish or gaudy. I watch a lot of yacht channels and to me, Princess is my favorite. It's like they are following the class and style and yet groundedness of Princess Diana, if one can even make that kind of metaphor.

Quite sure you don’t need anyone’s validation but I just wanna say that I find you an extremely pleasant and calm person to do these walkthroughs. I watch all your videos.

And this is why I love Princess Yachts, absolutely gorgeous 👍❤️🇬🇧

What a beautifully designed, engineered, and executed yacht

Wow! Garmin LSDs on either side! Cosmic man!

Comprehensive tour and bonus of a sea trail.Princess do build very stylish and functional craft

This is a great video Jack, very well presented - one of, if not the best that you have done - the yacht isn’t too bad either! 👌🏼👏🏼

Excellent video Jack

Hi Jack. This layout has come a long way from the 68 and then the 70. Beautiful styling, sweeping lines. Great video walkthrough and test thanks 😊

Fantastic boat, love it!! Thanks for showing us around Jack, great review 👍

Excellent , slick review, you really do the best tours around. And what a fabulous craft, faultless 😁

AWESOME video & review . Beautiful design, finishes & layout . Loved seeing the Princess Y72 in action . Mark (Toronto) 🌊🌊🌊

Excellent video---very through, great focus on the details of the boat!

one gripe about the main space - saloon and galley - : imagine a smoked securit glass partition behind the inside helm station and another one between the saloon and the galley. the partition on the helm side would have a mirror effect on the hem side, so the crew can't look into the saloon/galley area. now the owner doesn't just have their own staircase; they have a living space totally isolated from the crew. a regular studio flat. that, to me, would be priceless. Princess, offer that option: lots of people will go for it.

I’m in love….but the F45 still calls out to me.

Thank you Jack. Nice seeing the Y72 out on the water. Interesting to see this model with fin stabilisation instead of a sea keeper gyroscopic stabiliser setup. Seemed like a smooth ride. Which would you prefer and why? This has been my favourite Princess since I first saw it, as it is big enough to accommodate 8, yet does not need crew and should fit most berths. It also has more refinement and features than the F70 (like the Boning system and better master cabin heads location along with intelligent lighting systems). Did that model have the electrically sliding guest beds systems in the twin rooms to make them into doubles, as I think that is a really useful system ? The handling seems very good. I would be interested in seeing how these operate in heavy seas compared to the displacement hulls and explorers like Nordhavn’s and Numarine 37XL types. I know these are more for coastal trips and the Med sort of party lifestyle, but still would be interesting to see what these can cope with. Again, thanks Jack for this tour and finally letting us see it in action ! 😊. By the way, love the drone shots !

Comprehensive review and an OMG yacht!

Looks like a perfectly functional charter boat.

Wow, best tour yet. I’d like for a longer more in-depth tour going cabin space by cabin space.

Love it ... next boat

As per others, nice review (& boat!)

Thanks for the detailed review. Very nice yacht. I miss some of the Y85 main deck layout. That one is not the best soltion for that size. I would change the crew cabin into tender garage as owner operator

Great video. Test, demonstration, etc., I just miss the price. Thank you!

Beautiful - the " Fleming" of motor yachts INHO ! Great Drone video Inspires confidence ! Fantastic helm and the Boning system makes everything nice. Very nice to see Jack enjoying the sports ability of shafts and rudders. His scruffy self seems excited. Excellent crew space and proper engine room. Very carpacious Engine room. I wonder what this beast would do with the new CAT 32B engines 2,000 ( may 2400) HP per side ? Jack does love his finger holds. Beautiful color palette. Why would a dishwasher be an option on a 72 ft. yacht ? Absolutely beautiful. A a Yacht Porn Connoisseur Princess stands very tall - always excited to see a new Princess.

Thank you , you made my mind up for me …

Gorgeous yacht I want one for Christmas please 🙏 😍

In Newcastle this is known as a Wye Eye 72 ;)

Lovely machine. Great views of my hometown too in the drone shots. Have you bought a new camera? The quality of colour and definition seems to have gone up in a big way. Great video all round. 👍🏻👍🏻

Damn nice boat, And video.

Its beautiful too sea it chopping rough seas

Do you have any of the new galeon flybridge yachts coming anytime soon

Good show bro 🙂

Great review, thank you. What would be the analogous Sunseeker to the Y72? And which would you prefer?

stunning boat, you did not mention price, the master is fantastic, but agree there is no need for that extra table upstairs. Must feel epic for space

Great review, I really like seeing the boats do what they do best and Jack showed us this. Interesting to see how the new Pearl 72 will compare to this. I think the Kelly Hoppen design and the large garage will tip it Pearl's way. We will wait and see. 👍👍👍

Like Princess Yachts. But for owner operator, a tender garage would be much more appreciated than the crew cabin. With the S66, S72 and even the smaller S62 or V55 they are able to do that

I watch a lot of these boat and yacht channels and no doubt these ones are my favorite where you do the test drive AND tours in one and the fact that you talk about the bad about certain designs. Camera work kind of sucks though. I just watched the overhang description but they never showed it.

Beautiful boat, but I think Princess have got to catch up with the technology side of things where other cheaper manufacturers are strolling ahead.

Hi, I did not understand ( how many nm or n km he can do ) at 10 nm or at 25 nm. as distance, thank you you are doing a super go job nice video ( i am glad that they ( princess ) suppressed - deleted the long bar design in the side window it make tthe window large.

Great review as always. At the beginning you mentioned the stabilizers. This yacht had fins, or you could swop for a gyro. Why would you. What is the advantages of one over the other?

Looks like I'm gonna still have to buy a Trader, to get my bath at sea!? Hopefully they can replace the shower in the Master with a bath? Lovely yacht and very classy and not too much ultra style, such like Sunseeker etc

Been waiting for you to start showing some Princess models (YOU specifically, I like the Hugo, but he is just not a presenter and I hate passing when there are great boats on the channel!!) Why did you not include video during the ride in the rougher water? It would have been nice to see you driving form lower helm in the rougher seas, that would have given good info (not drone either).

7:22-MAN uses the same engine block for the 1800,1900 and 2000 horsepower V12 and they have now added a hybrid drive for additional 500hp. I guess the maxed out the hull speed. I know most of the Italian built yachts will start to try and plow the bow under once you reach higher speeds. I worked on a Azimut 72s with a pair of MAN 1800hp and surface drives. The thing would try and drive the bow under at high speeds no matter how much trim tab or surface drive trim you’d give it.

Great review as ever Jack, just one thing missing… how much is it as tested and what is the base price ? MBY is normally very good at including this. Really love the sea test part of the review, more like this please! How about a Botnia 46 sea trial?

I do wish you could state either standard price or price as seen (usually they have some extras or upgrades with the show boats).

does a 'portuguese bow' automatically mean that the elevated structure contributes towards creating more head space inside? that would mean the VIP cabin on this vessel. I'm asking because I'd rather have a bare bow, with decking everywhere.

Very nice boat♥️🇵🇰♥️🇵🇰

Very nice but I think I prefer the new Pearl 72, huge space inside and that Kelly Hoppen interior is to die for , that 5 year warranty also would swing it for me albeit the Princess probably has the better brand name .

How many people could comfortably, and safely, gather on board for a party (counting servers)?? Not sleeping or overnighter....just about a five hour coastline cruise..

Princess have done it again with this beauty. Killer whale looks.

Seems like the word OPTION pops up a lot !

Rounded corners at counters . Guest safety first.

What happened to your own channel Jack?

Its a great MBY review as always with Jack and the Y72 is utterly gorgeous as expected from Princess ~ but its never mentioned ever how much in that day/ ,, week Full tanks Fuel cost? it cost how much £££ to fill up1000+ Diesel fuel Gallons/ 4500 liters into the fuel tanks? which if .. its great fun cruising at 30kts' .. ( which nobody in actually real life that pays for the fuel, does for more than 10 mins) not being a party pooper! but its the 1000lb gorilla in the room nobody talks about

I’m watching this and I’ll never be able to afford one

I would prefer the hard top of the flybridge to run all the way back...

Princess is elegant and classy but have to be careful not to lag behind and become like jaguar. Combine the classy elegance with aggressive innovation. Or perish at the hands of those who do.

It’s blowing a what?

No am in

Very much a production boat. Not much flair and poor choice of wood finishes. I think Princess could do better, because their rivals are! That window that folds up!? Looks like an accident waiting to happen. Overall, a nice boat but a little lackluster in finishing touches.

Never impressed with Princess interiors. There are such better design options at this price point. Just looks like a business Radisson hotel in there. Bland and characterless. As someone else put it, a perfectly suitable charter yacht. 6/10 for me.

In my view, Galeón yachts are far better, yes built in Poland, but half the price of a so called Italian design factory whom charge extra because it’s Italian designed! This went out in the 90’s. Designer names never heard of, more money spent on items you get in Poland for half the price, in my experience why pay 500 Euros for a toilet seat, when you can get the same for 200? 🤔

Sorry, but as usual you hear abt the nice this and nice that. You call it tough test? We all know what those boats doing in mild conditions like those. But pls put her into cross wave from front, back or side. Put her at least once into real tough condition, say 1-2m waves. The conditions what real boats only can laugh on, but speedboats with deep V hull will be scared already. So people really understand what to expect. The real life is that you dont want to go out in more than a 1m wave, not speaking abt side waves or crosswaves. Those boats are so limited on conditions of comfortable use and nobody really speak abt this... Just tired of those "tough conditions" presentations what really dont lie, but just dont show you whats really going on.

Two long, unskippable ads before you can watch the video??? You’re taking the mick! Won’t be watching your videos again if you keep this up.
