What is it like buying and owning a £1.6 million Princess F55? In this new YachtBuyer series, we aim to demystify the subject by touring and sea trialing a boat with the owner to find out why the bought their, which options they did and didn’t choose and how they cruise with it.
In this episode, Jack Haines meets Princess 55 owner, Henry Firman, a serial boat owner who took delivery of his new boat in early 2023. He discusses the boats he’s owned previously, what else he considered before he bought his F55 and why it works so well for him and his partner as a commercial charter vessel.
Let us know what you think of the video concept in the comments below and, if you would like your boat to be featured on YachtBuyer, email us at: editorial@yachtbuyer.com
“Mango”, Henry’s Princess F55, is available for charter in The Solent and you can find more information here: [ Ссылка ]
