Our Take

The 2018 Princess F-68 represents one of the most thoughtfully designed 68-foot flybridge motor yachts in the market today. This full-displacement vessel combines the sophisticated European craftsmanship Princess Yachts is known for with a layout and feature set that prioritizes both owner privacy and social entertaining—a balance rarely achieved at this length.

Layout and Owner Accommodation

What immediately sets MAMU apart is the full-beam master stateroom accessed via a dedicated private staircase from the main salon—an architectural feature typically reserved for much larger superyachts. This separation creates genuine sanctuary for the owner, complete with oversized picture windows on both sides, a spacious ensuite head with walk-in shower, dedicated dressing area, and a sideboard with abundant storage. A private laundry room with Ariston washer and dryer is conveniently positioned nearby.

Three additional guest staterooms provide flexible accommodation for family and friends. The forward VIP stateroom features a queen berth and ensuite head with shower, while starboard and port guest cabins each offer convertible twin berths that power-actuate into double configuration, ensuite heads, and large hanging lockers. A generous crew cabin with separate transom access via watertight bulkhead door includes twin berths, private head, shower, and hanging locker—ideal for extended cruising with dedicated crew.

Main Deck Social Spaces

The main salon showcases the advantages of Princess's advanced resin-infusion construction, which allows for substantially larger windows than conventional methods. The space flows seamlessly from a rich walnut interior with satin finish, featuring a U-shaped sofa with upholstered ottoman and built-in teak serving tray, a second lounge sofa with integrated sofa table, and a 48-inch Samsung LCD television on motorized lift. A Waeco under-counter refrigerator, Vitrifigo icemaker, and Harmon Kardon 5.1 surround sound with Blu-Ray player support entertaining and daily living.

The strategically positioned aft galley opens directly to the cockpit through oversized sliding glass doors, with a manually opening rear window that transforms the counter into a serving bar. This design creates seamless indoor-outdoor flow for entertaining. The galley is well-appointed with a Miele 24-inch speed oven with microwave and convection, 4-burner Trident K cooktop, Hans Grohe faucet, Franke double-basin sink with InSinkErator disposal, Liebherr top-mounted refrigerator-freezer, Miele dishwasher, and extensive soft-close cabinetry and storage.

The aft cockpit functions as the primary dining and social hub, accommodating eight with upholstered seating, a large teak dining table, elegant mood lighting, and a transom-mounted twin seat with integrated rope storage. Port and starboard stairwells access a submersible hydraulic teak swim platform, with mooring winches positioned in each aft corner for convenient docking and tender operations.

Upper Helm and Flybridge

The flybridge is expansive and equally well-designed for entertaining and relaxation. Dual pedestal helm chairs sit behind a comprehensive Garmin navigation console, with a convertible starboard seating area that transforms into a sun pad. An L-shaped outdoor galley features a Kenyon electric grill, Vitrifigo drawer-style stainless steel refrigerator, icemaker, sink, and Samuel Heath faucet. A factory-installed fiberg

The full-beam owner's stateroom aboard MAMU is accessed via its own private stairwell from the deck saloon—an exceptional feature more commonly found on superyachts. This secluded sanctuary includes a spacious ensuite bath, dedicated dressing area, and panoramic hull-side windows that flood the space with natural light and offer dramatic water views. A cozy sofa provides the perfect spot to relax in complete privacy. Just outside the stateroom, a private lobby houses a washer/dryer combo with space for an additional dryer.

Sophisticated Social SpacesFrom the moment you step aboard, MAMU impresses with her incredible social layouts. The deck saloon features two distinct seating areas, while the expansive flybridge offers another two gathering zones—ideal for entertaining or lounging under the optional hardtop with integrated sunroof. The aft cockpit is equally inviting, with wraparound seating, built-in speakers, bar access from the galley, and a charming transom seat—perfect for sunset moments at anchor. Versatile Aft GalleyThe aft galley design is a standout feature, providing seamless flow between interior and exterior spaces. Dining areas are located directly across from the galley as well as outdoors in the cockpit. With the touch of a button, the galley’s aft window opens to transform the counter into a bar, making entertaining effortless and inviting. Commanding and Social Helm DesignThe lower helm is designed for both functionality and inclusion. The primary driving and navigation stations are to starboard, while to port, a raised L-shaped seating area allows guests to join the captain in comfort—fostering a uniquely social cruising experience. The helm also includes a side door for direct access to the starboard deck. Innovative Foredeck LoungeForward, the walk-through foredeck offers a serene escape while in harbor or an exhilarating perspective when underway.

2018 Princess F-68 Flybridge Motor Yacht for Sale – MAMU
Overview
The 2018 Princess F-68 represents a pinnacle of modern motor yacht design, combining sophisticated European craftsmanship with thoughtful American-style entertaining spaces. At 69 feet 9 inches in length with a 17-foot 8-inch beam, this flybridge -equipped yacht offers the rare combination of serious offshore capability and refined social environments. Named MAMU, this particular example is located in Dania Beach, Florida, and is offered at $2,399,000. Princess Yachts' F-68 has earned recognition within the industry for its intelligent layout philosophy, which prioritizes both captain comfort and guest experience without sacrificing performance. The vessel's construction employs Princess's advanced resin-infusion process, enabling larger window installations throughout the superstructure while maintaining structural integrity. This engineering approach directly supports the yacht's defining characteristic: an abundance of natural light and panoramic water views across virtually every inhabited space. Twin MAN V-12 engines rated at 1,400 horsepower each deliver a cruising speed of 27 knots and maximum speed of 31 knots, supported by only 1,358 hours of engine time. The yacht's 1,344-gallon fuel capacity and 480-gallon water capacity support extended offshore voyages, while dual Onan 21.5 kW generators provide independent electrical power and redundancy. A Watermakers Inc. 700-gallon-per-day watermaker and SeaKeeper M16 gyro stabilization system round out the mechanical specification, addressing the practical demands of blue-water cruising.
Master Stateroom and Owner's Sanctuary
One of MAMU's most distinctive features is the full-beam owner's stateroom accessed via a private stairwell from the main salon—a design element typically reserved for superyachts exceeding 100 feet. This separation creates a genuine sense of privacy and arrival, with a small foyer serving as a transitional space before entering the retreat itself. The master suite spans the full 17-foot-8-inch beam and is flooded with natural light from oversized picture windows on both sides. A carefully designed sideboard with drawers beneath one window provides dedicated storage, while the opposite side features a bureau with a concealed vanity. The king-sized berth is complemented by hanging closets and abundant drawer storage throughout. The ensuite master head is notably spacious, featuring a walk-in shower and an additional large window that brings natural light and water views into the morning routine. Adjacent to the stateroom, a private lobby houses laundry facilities—an Ariston washer and dryer combination with space for an additional dryer—eliminating the need to access crew or guest areas for essential services. Climate controls throughout the stateroom maintain comfort during extended stays, while a Samsung 40-inch LED television with Harmon Kardon surround sound provides entertainment options. This level of separation and amenity within a 68-foot yacht demonstrates Princess's understanding of owner expectations for privacy and convenience.
Guest Accommodations and Crew Quarters
MAMU accommodates guests across three additional cabins, each thoughtfully appointed with individual climate controls, Fusion media systems, and Samsung LCD televisions. The forward VIP stateroom features a queen-sized berth, an ensuite head with separate shower, and large hull-side windows with custom blinds that balance natural light with privacy. Reading lights and climate controls ensure guest comfort during extended stays. The starboard and port guest staterooms each feature power actuators that convert single bunks into double berths, offering flexibility for various guest configurations. Both cabins include ensuite heads with showers, large hanging lockers, night stands, and climate controls. The thoughtful design of these spaces reflects an understanding that guest satisfaction depends on both privacy and practical amenities. A dedicated crew cabin with separate access aft of the engine room provides double berths, a private head with shower, hanging locker, and reading lamps. Access via a watertight bulkhead door and three-step ladder at the transom allows crew to move independently without disturbing guests—a practical detail that supports extended cruising with additional personnel.
Main Salon and Interior Design
The salon immediately captures attention through expansive windows that flood the space with natural light and offer breathtaking panoramic views. Princess's resin-infusion construction process enables these larger window installations while maintaining structural strength, a technical advantage that directly supports the yacht's inviting atmosphere. The interior showcases rich satin-finish walnut throughout, creating a warm and luxurious environment. A single step from the aft-positioned galley leads into the main salon, where flooring transitions seamlessly from rich timber to plush carpeting. A U-shaped sofa serves as the focal point, complete with an upholstered ottoman featuring a built-in teak serving tray—ideal for entertaining. A second sofa opposite provides additional lounge space and is paired with a built-in sofa table. A 48-inch Samsung LCD television on a power lift mechanism rises at the touch of a button, allowing entertainment flexibility without compromising the salon's refined aesthetic. A Waeco under-counter refrigerator and Vitrifigo under-counter icemaker provide beverage service within arm's reach of the seating areas. The salon's Harmon Kardon 5.1 surround sound system with BluRay player supports movie nights and music enjoyment, while a central vacuum system maintains cleanliness throughout. Additional touches—including a liquor cabinet positioned aft of the helm station, cadet grey canvas carpet runners, and a walnut interior with satin finish—reflect attention to detail and an understanding of how materials and design contribute to the cruising experience.
Galley and Dining Integration
The aft galley design stands out as a standout feature of MAMU's layout, positioned just inside oversized sliding glass doors that open to the cockpit. This strategic placement enables seamless entertaining flow between interior and exterior spaces. A manually opening rear window transforms the galley's aft counter into a convenient serving bar, creating a fluid connection that supports alfresco dining without the barriers of traditional yacht layouts. The galley itself is comprehensively equipped with a Miele 24-inch speed oven with microwave and convection capabilities, a four-burner Trident K cooktop, and a Franke double-basin sink with an Insinkerator food waste disposer. A Liebherr top-mounted refrigerator-freezer provides cold storage, while a Miele dishwasher handles cleanup. Eight soft-close storage drawers and five large storage cabinets, plus a dedicated china cupboard, ensure that entertaining supplies and provisions are well-organized and accessible. A Hans Grohe faucet with contemporary design complements the galley's professional-grade equipment, while an exhaust fan with dual LED lights manages ventilation and cooking odors. The no-step transition from galley to cockpit, combined with dining tables positioned both inside and outside, transforms the galley into the social heart of the yacht—a space designed for hosts who enjoy preparing meals while remaining engaged with guests.
Lower Helm Station and Navigation
The lower helm station exemplifies Princess's philosophy of combining functionality with social comfort. To starboard, the primary driving and navigation stations provide the captain with generous space to stand comfortably while underway, significantly enhancing visibility and sight lines for confident navigation. To port, a raised L-shaped seating area allows guests to join the captain in comfort, fostering an interactive and engaging cruising experience rather than isolating the helm from social spaces. The lower helm features dual Garmin 7616 16-inch touchscreen multi-function displays that provide chart plotting, sonar, and real-time navigational data. A Garmin GHP12 autopilot handles long-distance cruising, while a Garmin GMR624 xHD2 radar with 6 kW power and 4-foot open array scanner provides weather and target detection. A Garmin GMI20 multifunction display, Garmin AIS system, and Garmin VHF-300 handset complete the communication and navigation suite. Additional helm controls include SidePower variable-speed bow and stern thruster controls for precision maneuvering in tight spaces, a Bennett trim tab controller and indicator for hull optimization, and a SeaKeeper gyro stabilization control head that manages the M16 system. MAN electronic engine controls allow precise throttle and shift management, while an ACR RCL spotlight control pad enables deck illumination for nighttime operations. A Fireboy fire suppression indicator panel monitors safety systems, and a side door provides direct access to the starboard deck for crew operations.

What type of yacht is the 2018 Princess F-68, and what makes it suitable for extended cruising?
The 2018 Princess F-68 is a 68-foot flybridge motor yacht designed for extended cruising and entertaining. At 68 feet in length with a 17.67-foot beam, it combines the social spaces and visibility of a flybridge design with the comfort and range needed for multi-day or longer voyages. The yacht is powered by twin MAN V-12 engines producing 1,400 horsepower combined, delivering a cruising speed of 27 knots and a maximum speed of 31 knots. With a fuel capacity of 1,344 gallons and a freshwater capacity of 480 gallons, plus a 700-gallon-per-day watermaker, the F-68 supports the autonomy and self-sufficiency required for extended cruising. The dual Onan 21.5 kW generators ensure reliable power for air conditioning, appliances, and comfort systems throughout longer passages.
How is the master stateroom layout different from typical yacht designs?
The master stateroom aboard this Princess F-68 features an exceptionally rare design element for a 68-foot yacht—a private staircase accessed directly from the main salon, a feature typically found on much larger superyachts over 100 feet. This full-beam owner's suite includes oversized picture windows on both sides, a spacious ensuite head with a walk-in shower and additional window, a dedicated dressing area, and a private foyer that creates a true sense of separation and sanctuary. A cozy sofa provides a private retreat space, and a nearby washer/dryer combo in a private lobby adds practical convenience. This layout offers the privacy and exclusivity of a true owner's retreat rather than just another cabin.
What are the dining and entertaining options aboard the F-68?
The Princess F-68 offers multiple distinct entertaining and dining zones throughout the vessel. The main deck saloon features two separate seating areas with a U-shaped sofa and ottoman, plus a second sofa with a built-in table and a 48-inch flat-screen television on a power lift. The aft galley opens directly to the cockpit via large sliding glass doors, with a manually opening rear window that transforms the galley counter into a serving bar. The aft cockpit is the primary social hub, featuring wraparound seating for eight, a large teak dining table, built-in speakers, and bar access from the galley. The expansive flybridge includes another full dining table and L-shaped outdoor galley with an electric lava-brick barbecue, sink, and refrigerator. The foredeck lounge provides additional seating and sun pads. This multi-zone layout creates seamless flow between interior and exterior entertaining spaces.
What electronics and navigation systems are installed on this vessel?
The Princess F-68 is equipped with comprehensive Garmin navigation and communication systems at both helm stations. The lower helm features dual Garmin GPSMAP 7616 16-inch touchscreen multi-function displays, a Garmin GMR624 xHD2 radar with 6 kW and 4-foot open array scanner, Garmin GHP12 autopilot, Garmin AIS, and Garmin VHF-300 radio with command microphone. The flybridge upper helm includes dual Garmin GPSMAP 7616 displays, a Garmin GM120 multifunction display for speed, depth, and temperature, Garmin GHP12 autopilot, and Garmin VHF300 handset. Both stations have MAN electronic engine controls and SeaKeeper gyro stabilization control heads. This redundant, fully integrated system supports confident navigation and communication for extended cruising and provides backup capability at each helm station.
How does the SeaKeeper M16 stabilization system enhance the cruising experience?
The SeaKeeper M16 gyro stabilization system significantly reduces boat roll, providing a more comfortable and stable ride in moderate sea conditions. This system operates independently of the boat's speed and works continuously whether the yacht is underway or at anchor. The SeaKeeper M16 is specifically sized for vessels in the 60-80 foot range and can reduce roll by up to 90 percent. For extended cruising, this technology dramatically improves comfort for guests and crew, reduces fatigue during longer passages, and makes the yacht more enjoyable at anchor in beam seas. The control head is accessible from both the lower and upper helm stations, allowing the captain to engage or adjust the system as conditions warrant.
What guest accommodations are available, and how are they configured?
The Princess F-68 provides accommodations for up to 10 people including crew. Beyond the full-beam master stateroom, there are three additional guest cabins: a forward VIP stateroom with a queen berth and ensuite head with separate shower; a starboard guest stateroom with convertible single bunks that power-actuate into a double berth and ensuite head with shower; and a port guest stateroom with the same convertible bunk configuration and shared access to the starboard guest head. Each guest cabin includes a flat-screen television, Fusion media system, climate controls, and reading lights. A separate crew cabin aft of the engine room features double berths, a private head with shower, and a separate transom entrance via a watertight bulkhead door. This arrangement provides private, comfortable spaces for extended family or guest stays while maintaining crew privacy and independence.
What is the helm design philosophy, and how does it support both function and sociability?
The lower helm station on the Princess F-68 is uniquely designed to balance commanding functionality with social comfort. To starboard, the primary driving and navigation stations feature dual Garmin displays, autopilot controls, engine management, thruster controls, and trim tab controls—providing all necessary systems for confident boat handling. To port, a raised L-shaped seating area allows guests or a companion to join the captain in comfort during cruising, creating an interactive and engaging experience rather than isolating the captain. The helm offers generous standing space for both the captain and a companion, enhancing visibility and sight lines for safer navigation. A side door provides direct access to the starboard deck. This design reflects Princess Yachts' philosophy that cruising should be a shared, social experience rather than a solitary command post.
How do the bow and stern thrusters improve docking and maneuvering?
The Princess F-68 is equipped with Variable Speed SidePower bow and stern thrusters, which are controlled from both the lower helm and the flybridge upper helm. These hydraulically powered systems allow precise lateral movement of the boat without requiring forward or reverse engine thrust, making docking in tight spaces, maneuvering in marinas, and holding position in crosswinds significantly easier and safer. Variable speed control means the captain can apply exactly the amount of thrust needed for smooth, controlled maneuvering rather than full-or-nothing operation. The thrusters are particularly valuable when single-handing or when maneuvering in confined spaces where engine-based maneuvers would be impractical or risky. Both helm stations include dedicated thruster controls, so the captain maintains full command regardless of helm position.
What practical features support water access and tender operations?
The Princess F-68 includes multiple features designed for convenient water access and tender operations. A submersible hydraulic swim platform at the transom provides easy boarding and water entry, and can be lowered flush with the water surface for tender tie-up or swimming access. Twin stairwells from the aft cockpit provide seamless access to the swim platform. A 13-foot Walker Bay tender with a 50 horsepower Yamaha four-stroke outboard is included, offering a capable dinghy for exploration and shore excursions. The tender is modern (2025 model) and fuel-efficient. Mooring winches are positioned in each aft corner of the cockpit for handling lines and tender deployment. The foredeck area includes a hinged guest stairwell that lifts to reveal a cavernous storage compartment ideal for stowing tender gear, life jackets, and extended voyage supplies.
What galley and provisioning systems support extended cruising?
The galley aboard the Princess F-68 is strategically positioned aft with direct access to both the interior salon and the exterior cockpit, supporting seamless entertaining and meal preparation. Equipment includes a Miele 24-inch speed oven with microwave and convection, a four-burner Trident K cooktop, a Franke double-basin sink with food waste disposer, a Liebherr top-mounted refrigerator and freezer, and a Miele dishwasher. Eight soft-close storage drawers and five large storage cabinets provide ample provisioning space. A dedicated aft galley window opens to create an exterior serving bar, extending entertaining capability. For extended cruising independence, the yacht includes a Watermakers Inc. 700-gallon-per-day watermaker, producing fresh water from seawater. The 480-gallon freshwater capacity combined with the watermaker ensures adequate supply for extended voyages. A washer and dryer in the master stateroom lobby support laundry capability for longer cruises.
