Verdict
A well-proportioned flybridge yacht with strong accommodation, a refined finish and credible 30-plus-knot performance. Its main compromises are age versus newer rivals and the practical limits of an 83-foot hull, but as a 2017 Princess 82 it remains a highly capable family cruiser.
Avantages
- +Four-cabin layout suits eight guests comfortably
- +Strong top speed and efficient cruising for the size
- +Princess build quality and polished interior finish
- +Good fuel and water capacity for extended trips
Inconvénients
- −Age means it lacks the newest design and tech features
- −Large yacht dimensions still require experienced crew
- −Higher operating costs than smaller flybridge yachts
- −The verified vessel differs slightly from the stated length
The Princess 82 is a classic large flybridge motor yacht, measuring 83ft 7in overall on the verified 2017 example. Its styling is conservative rather than radical, but the proportions still read well: a long foredeck, substantial flybridge and a layout that prioritizes usable volume over novelty. For buyers who value mainstream appeal and established craftsmanship, that is a strength.
On the water, the model is known for serious performance for its class, with twin Caterpillar power and speeds in the low-to-mid 30-knot range depending on specification. That gives it the pace expected of a performance-oriented flybridge yacht, while the hull form and size should deliver a stable, predictable ride. Handling is helped by standard equipment such as bow thruster and power-assisted steering, but this remains a substantial yacht that benefits from an experienced captain.
Comfort is one of the Princess 82’s strongest arguments. The four-cabin arrangement for eight guests is well matched to private cruising or family use, and the yacht’s full-beam volume, air conditioning and generous tankage support longer stays onboard. Compared with newer designs, the cabin layouts and systems may feel less contemporary, but the core livability remains a clear advantage.
In value terms, the 2017 Princess 82 sits in the established used-superyacht sweet spot: enough size, speed and accommodation to feel genuinely premium, without the cost and complexity of a new build. It is best suited to buyers who want proven pedigree and practical cruising ability rather than the latest styling trends.
