Every entry is tested over thousands of miles, ensuring that winners represent the absolute pinnacle of industry standards.
Alex Smith, a yachting expert from Motor Boat & Yachting, commented on the Princess S72:
"The seamless connection between the aft deck and the saloon creates an expansive entertainment space. The sportbridge is unexpectedly spacious and well-equipped, while the interior volume and comfort levels rival those of the Y72. Additionally, the elegant stern features a crew cabin and a tender garage."
"In terms of handling, despite being nearly 76 feet long and weighing 55 tons, it performs like a true sportscruiser. When equipped with 1800hp MAN V12 engines, it achieves a top speed of 39 knots. If opted with long-range fuel tanks, it can cruise effortlessly at 27 knots with a range of over 330 miles. This really is a yacht that caters to every need!"
