What is it like buying and owning a £1.6 million Princess F55? In this new YachtBuyer series, we aim to demystify the subject by touring and sea trialing a boat with the owner to find out why the bought their, which options they did and didn’t choose and how they cruise with it.
In this episode, Jack Haines meets Princess 55 owner, Henry Firman, a serial boat owner who took delivery of his new boat in early 2023. He discusses the boats he’s owned previously, what else he considered before he bought his F55 and why it works so well for him and his partner as a commercial charter vessel.
Let us know what you think of the video concept in the comments below and, if you would like your boat to be featured on YachtBuyer, email us at: editorial@yachtbuyer.com
“Mango”, Henry’s Princess F55, is available for charter in The Solent and you can find more information here: charter-solent.co.uk/

Well done. Definitely need to do more of these. Its always good to get an owners perspective as a user. You tend to get the practical feedback. As a prospective Princess buyer I backed off from the V55 which I really liked, because the factory would not put a TV in the saloon for me opposite the internal dining area behing the galley counter. They have a TV on a swivel which services indoor and outdoor, but the problem when it faces into the saloon is that only one person can face the TV. One seat is lost because your back would be facing the TV and another two seats are lost because they are side on to the TV and you would end up with a sore neck. Also, I spoke to a number of Princess owners who say they never use the BBQ on the V55, because it is too close to the saloon and the smoke goes inside the boat. I asked for the BBQ to be moved further down the ourdoor gallet and I was even prepared to lose the aft docking station to accommodate the move of the BBQ, because I could replace that with a remote. A boat always faces into the wind so the smoke from a BBQ would blow back off the aft of the boat and not into the boat. Two easy solutions that are logical and practical, but Princess would not make those changes. Pity. They should listen to their customer feedback.
@rykehuss3435
@rykehuss3435 8 місяців тому
Have you considered 3rd party solutions? I'm sure there are shops out there that could do those changes for you. Ones with GRP building expertise to change the BBQ station for example. Sure it'll cost you, but you already have the money for a 55' luxury yacht so I doubt you care that much.
@JohnSmith-zo6ir
@JohnSmith-zo6ir 8 місяців тому
@@rykehuss3435 Its more the principle. Here is what irks me: First, the changes would help other Princess owners and prospective buyers who have complained about the same thing. One of them has purchased a cheap portable BBQ which he attaches to the aft transom and stands in the scathing heat while he is cooking which is not a pleasant experience. You need to be under cover and out of the sun to enjoy your BBQ. Second, it is a design flaw and they should make it a permanent change to improve their product. Every other boat designs the BBQ at the outer extremity, under cover (cockpit or transom) because the smoke always blows backwards off the boat (unless there is no wind). I looked behind the indoor galley to see if there was room for another TV and it seems there is plenty space to put another up-down TV so that ALL seats face the TV. In that way you are not losing three seats when the swivel TV faces inwards. The fact that Princess could not work this out for themselves is astonishingly stupid. I am more than happy to pay for the extra TV and keep the swivel TV for outdoor viewing, even though you still lose a seat with that TV position as well. You can make up for the lost seat in the cockpit with a loose deck chair. Third, it makes you wonder what other design flaws there are which are less obvious. Fourth, I don't like dealing with companies who have no interest in continuous improvement and who don't listen to their customers. Its only a matter of time before they go broke. And lastly, when I'm spending more than $3,500,000 on a boat, I expect the practical basics to be right. What Princess does is the complete antithesis of my business culture, so I guess you could say we are unequally yolked.

I liked that video. I like that he talked about some more practical or impractical aspects of yachts, especially the washer dryer. Whenever I see one tucked away, my mind always thinks of worst case scenario regarding repair or worse replacement. To expand on that in regards to the video I’d suggest asking what options the owner wished they had, or things they got they don’t need, or changes they’d make if they could.

Great video and very enjoyable. It's nice to know what owners feel about boats. I have learnt a few things. No early morning tea in my underpants with a galley up boat. Don't tick the dishwasher and washing machine options. I replaced a fitted washing machine at home a while ago and it was a pain so to do it on board would be a job for the boatyard, and therefore expensive. Top tips and I look forward to finding more top tips in future reviews. Nice one, Jack. 👍👍👍

Hey Henry. Congrats on the new boat. I still love the 50 mark 3 but then I'm biased ;-). Cheers.

What a wonderful alternative to all those “tour” videos that give you little idea of what it’s like to live with the boat. Safe sailing, my Commonwealth brothers 😎 🇬🇧 🇨🇦
