The Princess 60 Flybridge, based out of Hallandale, is the yacht in our fleet that quietly wins over guests who came in expecting something flashier and leave talking about how comfortable the whole day felt. It's a British-built yacht — Princess Yachts has been building flybridge motor yachts in Plymouth for decades — and that heritage shows up in the details: solid handling, a genuinely liveable layout, and a level of finish that doesn't need to shout to feel expensive.
Here's what a typical charter on this boat actually looks like, from pickup to sunset.
At 61'1" (18.61m) with a 15'10" beam, the Princess 60 Flybridge is a mid-size luxury motor yacht — big enough for a proper gathering, small enough to feel personal rather than cavernous. Twin diesel engines get her up to a cruising speed around 22-28 knots with a top end near 33-34 knots, which means the run from Hallandale out toward Haulover Cut or south into Biscayne Bay doesn't eat into your charter time.
Below deck, three en-suite cabins — a full-beam master, a forward VIP, and a twin guest cabin — sleep up to six, which matters if your charter includes a stay aboard rather than a straight day trip. But most guests never make it below deck until it's time to freshen up, because the real living space on this yacht happens on two levels above the waterline.
Charters from Hallandale typically start with a short pre-departure briefing from the captain — safety basics, the planned route, and a quick read on group preferences (swimming spot, music, pace of the day). The main-deck saloon and cockpit, both fitted with teak dining tables, are where most groups settle in first, especially if private chef service is part of the booking — the amidships galley is positioned so food comes out hot without disappearing from the party for twenty minutes.
This is where the Princess 60 separates itself from smaller charter boats. The flybridge layout is genuinely oversized for a 60-footer — wraparound seating, a proper dining table, and enough open deck for guests to move around without stepping over each other. It's the layout that makes this boat a strong pick for birthday charters and smaller bachelor and bachelorette groups: everyone ends up on the flybridge by early afternoon regardless of what the itinerary says.
Large sunbeds on both the flybridge and foredeck mean the boat comfortably splits into zones — swimmers and sunbathers up front, the lounge-and-music crowd on the flybridge, quieter conversation in the cockpit. For charters that include DJ or live music service, sound carries well from the flybridge without overwhelming the lower decks.
Most Hallandale-based charters build in at least one anchor stop — a quiet cove for swimming, paddleboards off the swim platform, or simply drifting somewhere the water goes from green to turquoise. This is typically when photography and videography happens, since the low, wide-beam profile of the Princess 60 photographs cleanly from the water without a wide-angle lens fighting a cramped deck.
If your charter runs into golden hour, the flybridge is where you want to be. It's elevated enough to catch the sunset over the water without any part of the boat blocking the view, and it's where our Champagne & Premium Beverage Service tends to get requested most — cocktails on the flybridge as the skyline lights up is close to the platonic ideal of a Miami-area yacht evening.
The Princess 60 Flybridge is the right call for groups of 8-12 who want genuine comfort and a boat that handles well, rather than maximum size. It's a slightly different experience than our Azimut 68 FT — less Italian-flash, more understated British engineering — and worth comparing directly if you're deciding between the two for a corporate charter or a milestone celebration.
The Princess 60 Flybridge is based in Hallandale and available for half-day, full-day, and sunset charters. Check current availability and rates on the yacht's page, or contact our concierge team to build the day around your group.
