Verdict
The Princess 50 is a well-regarded early-2000s flybridge cruiser with solid build quality, sensible layout options and competent offshore manners. It is not the roomiest in class, but it remains a capable, practical yacht for family cruising or charter use.
Avantages
- +Strong Princess build quality and conservative GRP construction
- +Twin-diesel shaft-drive layout suits predictable handling
- +Good cruising pace with a top speed around 28–30 knots
- +Flybridge format offers useful outdoor social space
- +Shallow-ish draft for a 50-footer improves access in many cruising areas
Inconvénients
- −Cabin count and interior volume are modest versus newer 50-footers
- −Older examples may need updated systems, upholstery and electronics
- −Fuel burn at higher speeds is typical of this generation of yacht
- −Less open-plan and less innovative than later flybridge designs
The Princess 50 is a traditional British flybridge motor yacht with a focus on sturdy construction, clean lines and practical use of space. Public listings for 2004 boats place it around 50 feet overall with a beam of about 4.5 meters, twin diesel power and shaft drives, which is a proven formula for owners who value reliability over novelty.
On the water, the boat is generally described as capable and well-mannered, with cruising speeds around 19–23 knots and top speeds in the high 20s to about 30 knots depending on engine fit. That gives it enough pace for relaxed passage-making while retaining the predictable tracking and docking behavior associated with twin-shaft installations.
Inside, the Princess 50 is best seen as a comfortable cruiser rather than a volume leader. Most versions offer three cabins, though some listings may differ by fit-out, and the layout typically works well for family use or shorter charter groups. Compared with newer designs, the accommodation feels more compact, but the finish and ergonomics remain respectable for the era.
In terms of value, the model benefits from Princess’s reputation and a layout that has aged reasonably well, especially if maintenance has been consistent. It is a sound choice for buyers seeking a capable used flybridge yacht, but the usual age-related refit costs should be expected on 2004 examples.
