SHAWLIFE

SHAWLIFE — Princess, 21.25m (70ft) A Princess of 21.25 metres, delivered in 2016, SHAWLIFE belongs to a category of yacht that a good number of owners eventually come back to: large enough to carry eight guests in genuine comfort, compact enough to slip into the small harbours that the bigger hulls have to admire from the anchorage. The interior is the work of the Princess Design Studio, and it shows in the way the volumes are used rather than in any single showpiece — clean joinery, generous glazing, and a saloon that stays connected to the water instead of turning its back on it. Accommodation is arranged across four cabins for eight guests. The owner's cabin sits at the heart of the layout, complemented by a further cabin with a double bed and two cabins fitted with twin beds. Detailed bed configuration is available on request. Performance is the other half of her character. She cruises comfortably at 20 knots and will run up to 35 when the plan changes — enough to turn a late lunch ashore in one bay into sundowners at anchor in the next, without the day feeling rushed. On a coastline like the French Riviera or the Balearics, that reserve of speed is what quietly widens the itinerary. A crew of two looks after the yacht and her guests: close enough to be attentive, discreet enough that the day belongs to you. On a yacht of this size, that balance matters more than any equipment list — service is personal, informal when you want it to be, and precise when it counts. SHAWLIFE suits a family or a group of friends who want the freedom of a proper motor yacht without the formality of a larger programme. Ask us for her current cruising area and availability.
