The Princess 50 sits in that useful middle ground between a pure day boat and something with genuine cruising substance. At 15.5 metres, she carries her length well: a broad cockpit and sun-deck area give ten guests room to spread out without feeling like the boat is working hard to hold everyone, while the two cabins below offer a place to change, stow bags, or simply escape the sun for an hour — practical rather than palatial, and useful on longer days out.
She suits a straightforward brief: a group heading out from a Mallorca marina for a few hours of sea air, a swim stop, and a relaxed return, without needing the scale or crew complexity of a larger charter yacht. Departing from somewhere like Puerto Portals or the Bay of Palma, the Princess 50 is well matched to a run toward the calmer waters off Illetes, or east along the coast toward the calas near Porto Cristo, where the boat's manageable size makes closer-in anchoring straightforward. She's equally at home carrying a smaller family group with children as she is a handful of friends looking for an unfussy afternoon on the water.
This is a yacht for guests who want comfort and capability without excess — couples combining a short cruise with lunch on board, or a group who'd rather spend the charter on the water than managing logistics. Booking is simple relative to larger vessels in the fleet: fewer scheduling constraints, a lighter provisioning list if catering is arranged, and enough flexibility to shift plans around wind direction or a change of route on the day. For a half-day or full-day charter based out of Mallorca, the Princess 50 offers a sensible, well-proportioned option rather than a scaled-down superyacht experience.
