Boat Lagoon Yachting has announced that the first Princess Y72 in Southeast Asia will arrive in Singapore in the third quarter of 2022. The smallest model in the British builder’s Y Class of large flybridge motor yachts, the four-cabin Y72 is among the newest Princess models, having had her world premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival last September.

Featuring an overall length of 74ft 9in and a beam of almost 18ft, the Y72 has been designed with Olesinski, the builder’s long-time partner for naval architecture, and Italian design house Pininfarina. The yacht is fitted with twin MAN V12-1650 diesel engines and has a top speed of 32-34 knots.

The unit for Southeast Asia has been specified for the region and features tropical-strength air-conditioning, a slatted flybridge hardtop, ONAN generator, teak decking and stabilisers. The yacht will have a white hull and an interior finished in silver oak.

Y72 features include a large high-low bathing platform that can carry a 500kg tender, while stairs lead to an aft cockpit with a dining table and a C-shaped sofa featuring a two-tone, stainless steel-trimmed headline.

The interior has an aft galley to port and dining area to starboard that features a fitted L-shaped sofa and a folding table, with loose stools completing the seating. Massive side windows continue forward to the saloon, which has a large C-shaped sofa and a coffee table on the starboard side, aft of the raised twin-seat helm station. On the port side are bar stools by the galley countertop, a long sofa, and a raised L-shaped sofa.

Aft of this is a curved staircase leading to the full-beam owner’s suite midships, with a forward facing double bed. To starboard is a sofa and storage, while to port is a desk cum vanity table and an aft walk-in dressing room that leads to the bathroom with twin sinks and a large rain shower.

The guest cabins, accessed by a forward staircase, comprise an ensuite VIP in the bow, a guest cabin to starboard, and a port guest cabin with en-suite access to a bathroom that acts as the day head.

The flybridge features a wet bar with grill, sink and drawer fridge aft of the twin helm on port side, while starboard features companion seating, a teak dining table and large C-shaped sofa, and an island sunbed aft. The foredeck has a C-shaped sofa and an island sunpad with an adjustable backrest. The Y72 also benefits from a multi-zone Naim audio system with multi-streaming capability and a dedicated app.
