AThfffi-Pfiftffflffft Bffififf J/ATh 113With the Princess 75 there is an expectation of luxury and a high
level of attention to details, but once on board it’s apparent that a great
deal of attention was given to the woodwork as a solution to minimise
noise and vibrations, and also the ergonomics that enable a very
comfortable life aboard – even if you are cruising at more than 30 knots.
The exterior layout is based on a consolidated scheme of a 75ft
flybridge yacht, but with an impressive quantity of glass and transparent
surfaces very well integrated in the design and, for the superstructure,
helps make the lines appear more sporty and modern.
Big lateral glass surfaces in the superstructure offer panoramic sea
views from the interior and a huge amount of natural light. The four
cabins with en suites on the lower deck benefit from wide glass surfaces in
the hull, especially the Owner’s suite at mid ship and VIP cabin at the bow.
The other two cabins, a double on port and another VIP on
starboard, have two windows on one side so that natural light and sea
views are assured. The full-beam Owner’s suite has a large bathroom
towards the stern that provides a structural element between the engine
room and the cabins that cuts down on engine noise.
Vibration control was managed with the use of special elements
during the assembly of all main parts of the yachts, so it is very difficult
to hear the engines when they are running. As with the other two yachts
tested, there is very little noise even at high speed with big waves. Local
craftsmen – some of whom have worked with Princess for more than 40
years – created the fine woodwork that helps dampen the sound.
The main deck is divided between open and enclosed areas – wide
