Urteil
A well-regarded flybridge cruiser with strong Mediterranean appeal: the Princess 56 offers contemporary styling, good pace, and a spacious three-cabin layout. It suits charter-style use and family cruising, though running costs and age-related condition will matter more than headline specs.

Nachteile

- −High service demands typical of large flybridge yachts
The Princess 56 is a flybridge motor yacht with the brand’s familiar emphasis on clean exterior lines, a wide beam, and practical deck spaces. In the 2012–2017 generation, the design is generally considered modern and balanced, with enough volume to feel substantially larger than many boats in this class.
On the water, this model is known for planing performance rather than leisurely displacement cruising. Twin diesel power gives it strong acceleration and a comfortable cruising turn of speed, while the hull form and beam provide a stable ride for coastal passages and island-hopping. Handling is typically straightforward for an experienced skipper, though berthing a yacht of this size still requires care.
Inside, the Princess 56 is valued for its livability: a bright saloon, usable flybridge, and accommodation usually suited to family cruising or charter work. Comfort is one of its strongest points, but actual cabin count and sleeping capacity depend on the interior arrangement, so listings should be checked carefully before booking or buying.
In value terms, it sits in the premium segment. The model offers strong brand appeal, capable performance, and good onboard space, but buyers should factor in maintenance, fuel use, and equipment condition. For a well-kept example, it remains a credible all-rounder rather than a bargain option.
