Picked up a brand new princess 64 from Plymouth a week Friday ago, set off that evening at 10pm, arrived at vilamoura marina in the algarve at 9am on the Tuesday. We only stopped for fuel so very tiring but thoroughly enjoyable. It was the most calm I've ever seen the bay of biscay, saw lots of dolphins.

Blimey - thats brave unless there have been some significant 'local' Plymouth sorties beforehand. Out of the box and across the bay! wow!


Would be nice to see pix and a review of the trip with costs and detail - assume no build issues of any note and all gear worked well.

Yep - ours had been from Plymouth to Swanwick then to Guernsey and back.
Lots of local stuff in the Solent and then to Torquay before crossing Biscay.
I particularly needed to know ranges etc (especially the displacement range) before we set off.

However, I'm not surprised that the P64 managed the run "out of the box" - they are sturdy boats and lots of things would have had to go wrong for it to fail.

Another success for Princess then!!

This is not the only way or maybe even the best way but it is very easy.

Open a photobucket account (free) - just involves signing up.

Upload pictures to that - the site points you at this.

Click on the IMG tab on the pictures in your photobucket album and paste into the post on here - Just like cut and paste in Word.
 
Or use the insert image icon above the message you're writing
 
I Intend to Buy a New Princess 64. What Type of engines did you have? Fuel consumption? Was the New Yacht Reliable on the First Ride? Can you recommend this Yacht? Any Problems After delivery? I would appreciate your help, Best regards, chris
