With only 749 hours on the engines and documented recent service, the propulsion package demonstrates responsible ownership. The yacht carries 349 gallons of fuel capacity with twin tanks and interconnection capability, supported by high-capacity duplex filters with contamination warning systems at the lower helm. Electric trim tabs with dual-station indicators, bow and stern thrusters (130 kgf), and power-assisted electronic steering with hydraulic backup ensure confident maneuvering in confined waters.

2015 Princess 56 Flybridge Motor Yacht – Elegant Displacement Cruiser with Twin MAN Power and Comprehensive Recent Upgrades
Overview
The 2015 Princess 56 Flybridge Motor Yacht represents a refined approach to modern motor yacht design, combining displacement hull efficiency with the practical two-level entertaining spaces that define the flybridge category. At 59.67 feet in length with a 15.58-foot beam, this Princess delivers the spacious proportions and seaworthy characteristics expected from the British builder's established F-series platform. Powered by twin MAN R6 800 engines producing 800 horsepower each, the yacht achieves a cruising speed of 19 knots with a maximum hull speed of 30.4 knots—a performance envelope suited to both relaxed coastal passages and purposeful transatlantic voyaging. The engines show only 749 hours of operation, reflecting careful stewardship and consistent maintenance protocols. Located in Naples , Florida, this Princess has undergone extensive recent upgrades and system refreshes that position it as a contemporary cruising platform. The combination of a proven hull design, comprehensive mechanical updates, and interior refinements makes this 2015 model competitive with newer builds in terms of operational readiness and user experience.
Power, Propulsion, and Performance
Twin MAN R6 800 inboard engines form the propulsive core, each delivering 800 horsepower and driving four-bladed propellers in nickel aluminum bronze. The engines' low operational hours—749 total—indicate minimal wear and suggest consistent maintenance discipline. The twin-engine configuration provides redundancy for extended offshore passages while the displacement hull shape ensures efficient fuel consumption at cruising speeds. A 220-volt, 240-volt diesel generator rated at 21.5 kilowatts powers hotel loads, air conditioning, and galley systems while anchored or at dock, eliminating the need to idle main engines for comfort. Bow and stern thrusters rated at 130 kilograms-force (287 pounds-force) with dual-station controls dramatically simplify docking and tight-quarter maneuvering, while electric trim tabs with indicators optimize running attitude across sea states and loading conditions. The fuel system comprises twin fuel tanks in marine-grade alloy with interconnection capability, providing a combined capacity of 582 gallons (699 US gallons/2,650 liters)—substantial tankage that supports extended cruising range at the 19-knot cruise speed. High-capacity duplex fuel filters with water traps and audible/visual contamination warnings at the lower helm console protect engine reliability, while remote fuel isolation controls in the cockpit locker provide emergency shutoff capability. Water capacity of 130 gallons supports shower, galley, and sanitation needs during extended passages.
Helm Stations and Electronics Integration
The Princess 56 features dual helm positions—a lower helm in the saloon and a fully instrumented upper helm on the flybridge—allowing the helmsman to choose operating position based on weather, visibility, and social preference. Both stations incorporate identical instrument suites and control layouts, eliminating the need to learn separate interfaces. Lower helm instrumentation includes engine instruments, fuel gauges, rudder position indication, electronic engine controls, and power-assisted hydraulic steering with an adjustable steering wheel. A high-speed magnetic compass, chart table with dedicated lighting and chart stowage, and windscreen wipers with freshwater wash system complete the navigation suite. Dual-station autopilot, VHF DSC radiotelephone with intercom capability, speed and distance log, and echo sounder with alarm provide core navigation and communication tools. Searchlight remote control, navigation light switches, and bilge pump controls with visual "pump running" warnings ensure operational awareness and safety systems management. The flybridge helm replicates this instrumentation while adding the advantage of elevated sightlines, clear visibility of the foredeck during maneuvering, and the ability to monitor sea state and approaching weather patterns. Dual helm seats with fore-and-aft adjustment accommodate the helmsman's physical preferences, while electric-opening side windows at the lower helm position and port side facilitate natural ventilation and direct communication with deck crew.
Deck Design and Entertaining Spaces
The Princess 56's deck plan prioritizes entertaining and seamless circulation between social zones. The aft cockpit features a self-draining U-shaped seating arrangement surrounding a teak table, creating an intimate dining area protected by the superstructure while remaining connected to the main saloon via triple stainless-steel framed sliding doors. Teak-laid steps on either side of the transom lead to a full-length bathing platform complete with a foldaway swimming ladder and hot and cold transom shower—amenities that enhance summer cruising and water-based activities. The transom platform includes an electro-hydraulic raise/lower mechanism (optionally available) capable of supporting a tender up to 400 kilograms, facilitating launch and recovery without manual handling. A transom door with dinghy chock system provides secure tender stowage and easy access to the water. The expansive flybridge accommodates multiple entertaining configurations: twin helm seats for the operating crew, a forward-facing L-shaped seat that converts to a sun bed, and a U-shaped seating area with teak table aft. A wet-bar featuring a sink, electric barbecue, and refrigerated two-drawer Isotherm no-frost cooler enables al fresco dining and entertaining without returning to the galley. Loudspeakers linked to the saloon stereo system extend the entertainment environment, while a wind deflector screen provides weather protection. Stainless-steel handrails, matched whip aerials for VHF and radio, and a radar arch complete the flybridge design.
Saloon and Interior Living Spaces
The main saloon exemplifies the contemporary, light-filled aesthetic Princess has established across its range. Large wrap-around windows with tinted glass and comprehensive blind/curtain systems provide panoramic views while controlling solar gain and privacy. A U-shaped sofa with coffee table occupies the starboard side, while a port sofa and sideboard units with refrigerator, bottle and glass storage, and integrated radio/DVD system create a social hub. An electric raise/lower 32-inch LED television facilitates both entertaining and private viewing. The open-plan arrangement flows naturally into a separate raised dining area forward, where U-shaped seating and additional stools accommodate six guests—a configuration ideal for entertaining while maintaining proximity to the galley. Overhead downlighters, a clock, and barometer complete the ambient environment. The galley features a quartz worktop (an upgrade from standard), three-zone ceramic hob, combination microwave/conventional oven with grill, stainless-steel sink with mixer tap, refrigerator with icebox, and dedicated storage for cutlery and crockery. Overhead and concealed lighting, drawers, and storage cupboards support efficient meal preparation. Provision for a dishwasher and additional refrigerator offers future expansion capability.
Cabin Accommodations and Sleeping Arrangements
The Princess 56 provides four sleeping cabins—owner's stateroom, forward guest cabin, starboard guest cabin, and optional aft crew cabin—with three full heads serving the living spaces. The owner's stateroom spans the full beam forward, featuring a large double bed with drawers below, twin bedside tables with quartz tops (upgrade), wardrobe and shelves, dressing table with mirror, and comprehensive storage lockers and drawers. Downlighters and individual berth lights provide flexible ambient and task lighting. The en-suite bathroom includes a washbasin with quartz worktop (upgrade), shower compartment with automatic pump-out, extractor fan, and full bathroom accessories—a private retreat that rivals land-based master suites. The forward guest cabin offers a large double bed, wardrobe and shelves, storage lockers and drawers, mirror, dressing table with mirror, and downlighters with individual berth lights. A large deck hatch with flyscreen and blind provides natural light and ventilation, while dual access from the passageway enhances traffic flow. The en-suite bathroom mirrors the owner's stateroom configuration with washbasin, quartz worktop, shower, extractor fan, and accessories. The starboard guest cabin provides two single berths, ideal for crew or additional guests, with bedside lockers, wardrobe with shelf, storage locker, and individual berth lights. A 22-inch LED television offers entertainment. The optional aft cabin incorporates a single berth with storage lockers, overhead and berth lighting, opening portholes for ventilation, and a separate toilet compartment with washbasin and electric quiet-flush WC—a practical solution for crew or occasional guests seeking privacy. All cabins benefit from hardwood flooring in the saloon (an upgrade) and new carpet throughout the lower deck, creating warm, refined aesthetics that enhance the sense of spaciousness and comfort.
