Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Princess Yachts 64 2011 vs Princess Yachts 68 Hard Top 2018 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Princess Yachts 64 2011 vs Princess Yachts 68 Hard Top 2018 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 1 400 hp, the Princess Yachts 68 Hard Top 2018 has a 250-hp advantage over the Princess Yachts 64 2011's 1 150-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Princess Yachts 68 Hard Top 2018 carries 41 gallons versus 9 gallons in the Princess Yachts 64 2011. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Princess Yachts 68 Hard Top 2018 is rated for 21 passengers, while the Princess Yachts 64 2011 caps at 19. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Princess Yachts 68 Hard Top 2018 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princess Yachts 68 Hard Top 2018 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 21 passengers and at 69,9 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Princess Yachts 64 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 19 that costs less to run day-to-day.
