The Vessel

M/Y Princess 72

Specifications

A vessel
worthy of the coast.

Princess Yachts have been built in Plymouth since 1965 — a half century of British semi-displacement engineering. Our 72 was commissioned new and specified for cold-water passage: reinforced fendering, heated cockpit, a fully equipped galley.

Heritage

Built for
discernment.

Princess Yachts have spent six decades refining a particular kind of vessel — semi-displacement hulls that hold a deep-water line, finished in fly-built joinery that ages like a house, not a boat.

Our 72 is not the largest yacht working the Norwegian coast, and that is deliberate. She fits the inner reaches of Hardanger and the tight anchorages east of Flåm where the larger expedition boats cannot follow. Below decks, four en-suite cabins. Above, a flybridge sized for eight, where we serve most evenings. Every surface is hand-finished in walnut and natural leather.

She is reserved for one party at a time. Always.

The Flybridge

The best seat
in the country.

The flybridge is where the day happens. Long table for eight, sun-pads forward. From here you take in the cathedral walls of Nærøyfjord, the orchards of Hardanger in bloom, the long indigo evenings of June. Heated underfoot, sheltered overhead — comfortable in every season.
