Nice boat but no dishwasher, you by a boat go on holiday, but you use the time to wash the dishes, come on, nobody want to use all that money on a boat, and spend time on that.

That´s and option. We have a dishwasher in ours.

Push the pedal to the metal.I have unlimited funds.

Sounded more like a sales pitch than a review.

I will like to now how much $$$$$$$$$

I don't feel your presentation did this beautiful but justice. You talk too fast, assuming that the viewer is buying this boat as a tender for their superyacht. I don't need to look at you in every shot, do I? It's the boat I came to see.

the audio is a bit to quiet

And Maritimo - they make fantastic boats!

Captn Steve's boat test makes Jack look like an amateur plonker just waddling around boats.

I've now seen it. Small and tight. The 52 was nicer, but I still think The Fleming is a better choice.

I want! Not as expensive as I thought.

$1.3 million U.S.

£818,000 = $1.05 million U.S.

I really like Jack's presentations but the global review outlines need an upgrade! Have a look at Captain Steve's (BoatTest dot Com) review! Thanks

I'd love you to include some commentary on the 'chine noise' in the for'ed and the mid cabins. It is no good to drop this kind of money on a boat only to find that you can't sleep on it.. Thx.

Nice boat!

Michael Redmond - 7 years ago

Saw this at the London boat show and it is even better in real life

How much does it cost?

Boats with a longer LOA.

Keith Johnson - Shelby GT500 - 6 years ago

What bigger Boats would you be talking about?

This Boat does compare favorably to other brands in terms of price

Puzzoozoo - 6 years ago

Base price is £671,000 before you start on the options list which can bump it up to around £818,000, so if you have £1,000,000 you'll cover all the bases and still have a big wad of change. Trouble is for a million, you'll have enough to buy a bigger boat before you move on to its options list. :)

How much?

Nice. I wish more of their boats could get the IPS system. It makes no sense to have the old ineffective straight shafts on a new vessel today. Imagine an S70 or S75 with quad IPS1200 setup. Space for a larger tender could be made by moving the two center engines forward and out to the side. Lots of potential.

Andrea De Dominicis - 7 years ago

I completely agree!! with the V-drive you can achieve the same results (the Ferretti 450 is a 45 vs 49 and the master cabin is even bigger!). Most people do not know that to be kept efficient the IPS pods need to be serviced at least 2 times per year! Yes 2 times out of the water! IPS is great for Volvo, but once you have an IPS you have a gun pointed to your head! These new IPS boats will be extremely difficult to sell after few years since the service cost will increase dramatically especially as a percentage of the reduced value of the boat. People who buys used boat do not want have surprises and huge service cost! with IPS you do! And they get bigger as time goes by...!

reaktor55 - 7 years ago

Your points are true. But I guess people have to be pretty serious boaters, to buy 70+ feet yachts. I would expect 150+ hour a year from them, but I could be wrong. Although Volvo has the monopoly on their patent, I would rather pay for servicing instead of high fuel consumption. Also, I think most would appreciate joystick and lover noise/vibrations in that price range/size.

Silverstoneaddict - 7 years ago

I don't see the point of IPS. People go on about how fuel efficient they are, but unless you're covering 150+ hours a year I don't think the figures stack up. Servicing costs for IPS pods are much greater than shafts, any money saved on fuel goes straight in to Volvo's pocket to cover servicing. And there's addition costs for cleaning / anti fouling pods every year.

Princess could have achieved the same living space in master cabin using v-drives, look at the new Ferretti 450. Almost the exact same living space down below using simple v-drives and shafts.
