PRINCESS 52 FLY

Princess 52 Fly — Tuscany Some yachts announce themselves loudly; the Princess 52 Fly does it with proportion. Built by Princess, a British yard whose reputation rests on build quality rather than gesture, she carries the clean, slightly tensioned lines that make this size of flybridge cruiser so easy to live with along the Tuscan coast — close enough inshore for lunch off Punta Ala, comfortable enough offshore for a crossing to Elba. The flybridge is the yacht's centre of gravity, and generously sized for the length: the natural place to spend a Tuscan afternoon under way. Forward, the bow is laid out with cushions for the quieter hours, when the anchor is down and the coastline goes gold. Below, the owner's cabin sits amidships — the calmest position on board — with its own relaxation area and private bathroom. Two further cabins follow, one with a double bed, one with twin beds, sharing a second bathroom with shower. Detailed bed configuration is available on request. The main deck is where this layout earns its keep. The dinette is unusually open for a 52-footer, and the galley faces the cockpit, so meals come together in conversation with whoever is stretched out aft rather than in isolation. It is properly equipped for real cooking, not simply reheating. Practical details that matter over a week aboard: generator and air conditioning throughout, and a separate skipper's cabin with its own bathroom and independent access — crew service without any loss of privacy for guests. A composed, well-built yacht for exploring the Tuscan archipelago at its own pace.
