Seen for sale at Princess Vancouver on this new P56. I'm not sure of the lines but with the weather as it is maybe this is an option for the UK? Looking around the harbour they are certainly popular......

The hardtop is a standard extra from Princess at a cost of approx. £40k. I am sure it would be easy enough to get the canopy made by any of the main manufacturers. I get an American boat mag every boat and the surrounded flybridge is not uncommon at all and I should imagine it has Air Con as well.

Makes the boat look very ugly though in my Opinion

I guess it's a local weather dependant issue -the need to enclose the FB .Some actually build an enclosed FB with one and only helm -liberating more space below

This ones from Oz

This is a typical American "sport fisher " - plastic FB covers + note the tuna tower -you can helm from that too ,but down stairs in the saloon there is no helm -more living area?

Quite right. The tops are enclosed to prevent being eaten alive by bugs, and they are often called Sky Lounges.

It's enclosed and air conditioned 'cause of the heat & humidity, like now when it's 28c at midnight and 90% humidity.
