Verdict
The Princess 62 is a refined flybridge motor yacht that excels in design and livability, offering spacious cabins and a stable on-water presence. While its performance is solid with top speeds near 29 knots, the 2008 model's value is tempered by higher maintenance costs and fuel consumption. Ideal for long-range cruisi

Cons
- −Non-standard 4-cabin configuration may mislead buyers expecting extra guest space
- −LOA discrepancy (63'5" official vs. 62 ft seller listings) complicates comparisons
- −High fuel consumption (898 gal capacity) increases operational costs for long trips
- −2008 model age may require significant maintenance or engine upgrades
- −Displacement of 64,595 lb limits agility in tight maneuvering scenarios
The Princess 62 showcases a sleek flybridge design with a 63'5" LOA and 16'6" beam, delivering a balanced profile for both coastal and long-range cruising. Its standard layout includes 3 guest cabins and 3 heads, though some sellers advertise a non-standard 4-cabin version. The interior features high-end finishes, ample storage, and a spacious saloon that comfortably accommodates 8 guests.
On the water, the yacht accelerates well with standard 900-hp Volvo D13 engines, reaching a top speed of 29.5 knots under full load. U.S. models often use 1,200-hp MAN V8-1200 diesels for enhanced performance. The hull provides stable handling in rough conditions, though its 64,595 lb displacement requires careful maneuvering in confined spaces. Cruising speed averages 22 knots, supported by 898 gal fuel and 195 gal water capacity.
Comfort and livability are standout features, with generous headroom, well-appointed cabins, and a functional flybridge for outdoor dining. The 3409 L fuel tank and 900 L water tank enable extended voyages without frequent refueling. However, the 2008 model's age may necessitate engine or system upgrades, affecting long-term value. While the Princess 62 is a luxurious choice for discerning buyers, its operational costs and maintenance needs should be weighed against its premium appeal.
