What to Know Before Buying a Princess Yacht

MaintenanceInsuranceOwnership costsFuel consumptionMooring costs

Before purchasing a Princess, define annual use weeks, home marina constraints, and whether charter income matters. Budget maintenance at six to twelve percent of hull value for comprehensive upkeep on Mediterranean seasons, including antifouling, engine service, and air-conditioning inspection. Insurance underwriters request survey reports on older units — schedule haul-out before binding cover. Fuel consumption scales with engine power and cruising speed; performance models burn disproportionately more on planing hops than displacement Magellano-style cruising. Mooring costs correlate with LOA and beam — catamarans and wide flybridges pay beam premiums in Croatia and Greece. MarineDirect listings let you compare seller asking prices against regional averages before committing travel budget to surveys.
