Princess Y72 for Sale: Price, Specs and Buying Guide

What the survey must check

Push for documentation on:

• Review MAN 1,650hp engine hours and maintenance records.
• Commission an osmosis and blister check on the GRP hull.
• Confirm generator hours and chiller or A/C capacity sized for Gulf summer heat.
• Inspect teak deck and flybridge upholstery for UV condition. A boat that has done real passage miles under Gulf sun shows it here first.
• Check stringer and transom condition.
• Inspect the fuel tank and fuel system given this model's long-range fuel capacity. A boat built to cover distance needs its fuel system in genuinely good order, not just adequate.
• Review stabilizer and bow-thruster service history.

Running costs

Budget the usual industry rule of thumb of roughly 10% of purchase value a year for crew, berthing, insurance, maintenance and fuel, an estimate to confirm against the specific hull rather than a fixed number.

A Y72 used for its intended purpose, genuine multi-day passages rather than short hops, burns more fuel over a year than the same boat kept at the marina and used for day trips. Factor your actual passage plans into the budget rather than assuming a flat percentage covers every use pattern equally.

Princess Y72 price in 2026

Pre-owned Y72s span roughly $1.1 million to $3.2 million as of 2026 market range, depending heavily on age and condition. New list price is approximately GBP3.3 million (about $4.2 million), so the bottom of the pre-owned range represents a real discount on an early hull, while a recent, well-kept example prices close to new.

Because this is a current model (2021-present), engine hours and generator hours tell you more than build year alone. A 2022 hull run hard is not necessarily in better condition than a 2023 hull used lightly. Ask for the full maintenance log on the MAN engines specifically, and treat any asking price as a starting point for negotiation once your own survey is in hand.

Who the Princess Y72 suits in the Gulf

This is the flybridge for an owner planning real Red Sea or Arabian Gulf passages, not just marina day-boating, though it does that comfortably too. Kuwait's Marina Crescent and Souq Sharq both berth boats this size without issue, and the Y72's range makes routes down toward Bahrain or across to the Saudi coast genuinely practical rather than theoretical.

Compare it against the Ferretti 850 if you want more interior volume for the same rough budget, or the Gulf-built Nomad 65 if an explorer-style layout appeals more than a conventional flybridge. Families who want four private ensuite cabins for multi-day trips tend to settle on the Y72 specifically for that reason.
