This sleek, elegant and spacious yacht is a beautifully proportioned flybridge is fittingly well-suited to the hedonistic yachting individual. Yacht owners will love the spacious and well-appointed interior and exterior spaces designed for entertaining and socialising.

Undoubtedly, the Flybridge class of luxury yachts has established the Princess brand as a pioneering force. Just entering the Princess 70, you will be immediately captivated by the clean, modern and elegant design while you simultaneously experience the efficient cruising capability once the MAN V12 engine fires up 1400mhp of power.

The generous 286-sq-ft flybridge features a large U-shaped dining area, encompassing a fully-equipped wetbar with barbecue, aft sunpad and a forward seating area adjacent to the helm that also converts into a sunbed. On the main deck, an aft galley arrangement opens out towards the cockpit, offering a sociable al fresco dining solution with a more formal dining table in the saloon, easily isolated into two separate spaces, thanks to large glass sliding doors. The space is flooded with natural light all thanks to the large panoramic windows.

Windows throughout the lower accommodation areas ensure the cabins are bright, while portholes allow fresh air to ventilate all the cabins. The Flybridge class is known for its focus on enjoyment combined with efficiency, attributable to the variable deadrise hull form, which provides greater lift and less drag, enabling her to achieve lower planing speeds while still reaching up to 36 knots with her MAN V12 1400mhp engine.
