I too became a Princess owner years ago, the build quality and the world wide support is brilliant to say the least. I love to cook so one of my favourite areas is the galley. I noticed on your abbreviated tour though the galley. The spice rack is open to lots of light, spices and herbs need to be kept in dark, cool and dry storage otherwise they will spoil well before their time. I also cryovac (wet and dry) anything eatable for long term storage. I do love what you've done with the salon and dinning areas, the octopus does add some whimsical colour to the area. Have fun!
@Boatscouk 2 роки тому
Thanks Phil. I did not know that about spices - thank you ! I went through the galley on this boat quickly because guests don’t really see it as the boat is professionally crewed. I love the octopus too 😂

It may be a 2014 Princess 88 example but with the professional refit it has brought it up to modern day standards if not better. Princess manufacture some of the best yachts on the market today and this proves its longevity. It is a beautiful and stunning yacht, and I am sure that all who charter J4 will have a fabulous time. It is a change to have someone with a no-nonsense casual way of presenting with a sense of humour. Thanks for the great video James.

Thanks John. J stands for Jane - the 4 brothers late mother - we named it after her. 4 for 4 brothers . We agree about Princess boats - we love them ! Our no nonsense approach sometimes gets us in trouble- but we appreciate you enjoying it - much simpler to say it how it is 😂

Website is a bit clunky, but: A UKP4,000,000 investment. Considering it is a new entrant to the charter business, but is currently showing an impressive, BEFORE this video, +/- 16 weeks fully booked at +/-UKP42,000 / week = UKP672,000 revenue pull. That equates to a (very crudely calculated ROI conveniently ignoring all sorts of tax/depreciation/maintenance/crew expenses/etc.) of 20%. Which is FANTASTIC !!! Plus you get to cruise around in an awesome, and essentially new, yacht. I can see no downside to this. Well done, Sir. well done. Sell it on before 5 years. Get a bigger one.

You've done a beautiful job on the refit but theirs two things I would change. Get rid of that hideous bath come shower it's neither one thing nor another and twin seating at the helm positions is a must. Regarding the shower thing, invite someone over seventy to lie down in the bath? assuming they can get in in the first place then offer them a dry sherry if they can get out. I noticed you cut away for your extraction.
@Boatscouk 2 роки тому
Thank you. We really like the bath AND the boat has another 4 shower rooms if you like showers 😊 twin helm? Remember this boat is not usually driven by owner/ captain - just by captains and they prefer to be on their own 😂 JB did struggle to get out of the bath and he is only 47 hence the cut 😂😂

I’ve built these engine rooms although this is not one of mine. That plant in the port fwd corner is not a water maker. It’s the aircon plant. I wouldn’t recommend drinking from it as it will have antifreeze in it. 👍

Thanks Paddy. Beautiful boat 👌
@paddyhill7502 2 роки тому
Really is! This is one of the earlier ones. The later ones had a 3rd box on the fwd bulkhead, the same size as your ac/dc boxes housing the engine management boxes. A much neater install. I’ve never seen one of these. Think I was building 82’s back then. Was also a lovely boat although the engine room was nowhere near as nice as the 88’s engine room. If you’re interested I currently build the engine room of the x95. Now that’s a stunning boat. 👍
