Nice boat! But saying that it is not much money with 1,1 million GBP feels strange. That money can make a huge differance for a lot of people. But compared to other boats in the same class its quite a nice buy.

Only a million and a head dodger shame

This looks like a really well designed boat. You can just tell how much time was put into laying out the kitchen!

I’ll give it a miss as the chancellor has pulled the plug on the economy for generations to come. I can see a Great Depression incoming on the horizon!

I appreciate you pointing out possible flaws with the boat, most others just talk about how great they are. No boat, car or anything is perfect. I would trust buying a boat from you.

Sorry but these boats will go obsolete eventually. Looking in investing in a silent yacht. Solar lithium battery powered, almost no maintanace, kite sail, and just the future of boating.

2000 hp, cruises 20 knots and tops out at 35 knots. Not efficient hydrodynamics for a 55’. Betcha it kick a heck of a wake at speed.

£1.1m, "not bad value'. lol.

Simon Ladds - 4 years ago

Only £1.1mn. Get 4 houses for that

Although I prefer the galley down layout of the Predator, this is still a fine boat.

Kimbocf Aloggo - 4 years ago

Motor Head galley up is better for entertaining

Please ask your cameraman to stop zooming in and out and to keep focus. I had to stop watching half way through.

we'll pass that on.

gorgeous master cabin. Well, time to start saving for the next 15 years... gonna install 2x120HP Honda engines instead too...

Great to see you Jack! Excellent presentation as usual.

Chris OLeary - 4 years ago

@Jack Boat Tester You're certainly welcome. With all your work throughout the years, you deserve it!

Chris OLeary - 4 years ago

@Jack Boat Tester I've been watching you for years. You're one of the best in the business. I appreciate how you dont pull punches when you give honest opinions on what manufacturers can do better!

Chris OLeary thanks Chris, glad you liked it.

3:46 - A crew cabin? Seriously? I could see how it might be fun for kids of the owner and/or guests to sleep in there, but C'MON! 'Place to Stow Adult Human Being(s) That We Don't Give a Shit About' is a more fitting name than 'Crew Cabin'.

Not even mad money at £1.3 million inc VAT.... you my friend have completely lost touch with reality.... I would suggest that less than 10% ...hell maybe even less than 5% of the UK population dont even own houses worth over £1 million let alone a boat. Having said that it is great looking and I do like your videos... but really....of course its mad money...... but then i guess its all relative...

bassmandudge - 4 years ago

@Andreas I agree..for that boat it is relatively good value...well ish ( not my thing...prefer trawler style boats) .....my point was the dismissive way someone can say £1 million is not mad money for a boat... frankly in my opinion it was a ridiculous phrase for a journalist to use.... most people will never see that ammount of money...let alone to spend on a luxury good....so to belittle it on a public video is just poor judgement in my opinion.

Andreas - 4 years ago

You are probably new to boating. Price is always relative my friend. If you've asked me to guess the price of that boat I would've said £1.4 mil + VAT. For that type and size of boat and for the quality that Princess offer, the £1.1 mil + VAT is a very good price and I agree with Jack.

Matt Vause - 4 years ago

Best review yet! And it happens to be one of my favourite boats to boot :)

Dan Frederiksen - 4 years ago

Always classy boats. Odd that water streams up through the bathing platform when it goes. It might be good to have quality synthetic teak so it stays vibrant and can handle water.

Does one drive a boat, or steer it?

Motor Boat & Yachting - 4 years ago

We'd say you steer a sailboat, but drive a motorboat

I swear you guys do more reviews in crappy weather than anyone. Do you get Sun there lol?

Detroit Dawg - 4 years ago

@Jack Boat Tester lmao

Jack Boat Tester - 4 years ago

Detroit Dawg as the saying goes: here in the UK, summer is my favourite day of the year.

Been looking forward to this test since your first video on it.
Question on the galley storage/practicality; where on Earth do you store the crockery - plates and bowls etc?! Presumably there’s storage under the seats in the saloon? Every video I’ve seen on this boat doesn’t show it and I refuse to believe Princess would have overlooked such an opportunity for extra storage. Thanks

Motor Boat & Yachting - 4 years ago

@Adam Cotterill 8:00 We think this storage here is designed for that purpose

Jack Boat Tester - 4 years ago

Adam Cotterill you raise a very good point. I’ll double check and get back to you.

Nice review & although I've seen other reviews on this boat, it's nice to hear/see a different prospective.
Thank you

El Miguel - 4 years ago

Yes Larry, he was truthful.

MrAbletospeak - 4 years ago

Did someone just say 1.1 million pounds is not crazy money?

Sam Osborne - 4 years ago

It's all relative!!

One of the best lookin master cabins I've ever seen, the interior designer nailed it
