The BEST Sportsbridge on the Market? Princess S72 Test Drive & Review

Is the Princess S72 the best model in Princess's S Class range? Quite possibly. In fact, we reckon it might be the best boat in its entire range!

In this sea trial and review of the Princess S72, Jack Haines gets behind the wheel to experience the performance, sea keeping and handling of this 75ft sportsbridge before giving you a full walkthrough tour of the decks and interior.

What makes the S72 so good? It's based on the Y72 so it has the same very good four-cabin arrangement on the lower deck with private access to the owner's suite. Its top deck, though smaller than a normal flybridge yacht, is still a really good size and you get the benefit of a sunroof too. Plus, with its twin 1,800hp MAN V12 engines it will do nearly 40 knots.

This performance creates a broad cruising band. It will cover 1,000nm at displacement speed but you can comfortably cruise at 25 or 35 knots, too.

There's a lot to like about this boat but watch the video and judge for yourself. Don't forget to tell us what you think in the comments section.
