docks receiving her final touches and inspections. Meyers and his customers enjoyed a sea trial of this yacht including time at the flybridge’s helm. These tours are not all about the boats, though. “The folks at Princess are also great guides for the city of Plymouth and historical sites including some of the historical properties that Princess operates out of,” Meyers says. With lineage going back to the departure of the Mayflower in 1620, there is plenty to experience. Aside from historical sites, the Princess tour team points out good pubs and restaurants for customers and dealers to enjoy during their stay in the city. Bluewater Yacht Sales’ multi-decade partnership with Princess Yachts (and the former Viking Sport Cruisers) was more deliberate than by chance. Our values of taking care of each customer throughout their entire boating journey through transactions, service, maintenance and meeting at events, shows, tournaments and our Summer Cruise is akin to the care and attention Princess Yachts provides to each customer throughout the build process and into their years of enjoyment of their Princess. “My clients really like the relationshipwith not only the Princess and Bluewater sales teams but also the folks on the factory floors,” Meyers explains. “Being so heavily invested in time and money, they have the opportunity to watch their boat develop and be built, with the ancillary benefit of spending a few days touring Plymouth—it’s a whole experience,” Meyers concludes. PRINCESS Y72 Taking cues from the larger Y-Class yachts, the Y72 is completed to the highest standards and offers several interior finish options. The refined hull form and twin MAN V12 engines provide sprightly acceleration, exceptional handling and commendable fuel consumption. The full-length hull glazing adds to the Y72’s stunning appearance while providing generous amounts of natural light to her well-appointed cabins and full-beammaster stateroom. The spacious salon is designed for both entertaining and relaxation, offering a free flow of movement from the covered cockpit dining area up to the helm, thanks to a continuously flat flooring surface and large sliding glass doors. Above, the expansive flybridge provides two unique seating areas along with a wet bar to port. The aft section of the flybridge offers a standard sun bed that acts as a continuation of the U-shaped seating forward. Owners can opt instead for individual sun lounges or utilize the space for a crane and tender storage. The open bow offers a retreat for sunbathers and star gazers alike thanks to the large convertible lounge and separate seating area with table. The sweeping lines of the cabin and flybridge hardtop provide a sleek look whether tied to the dock or maneuvering through open water. This exciting member of the Y-Class family offers a tremendous amount of entertaining space for a yacht of this size while featuring the highest standard in luxury finishes we have come to expect from Princess Yachts. 33 2022 SEASON
