In the summer of 2020, PR Nautica completed a standout retrofit on the Princess 78Y, featuring the installation of a Seakeeper 9 alongside the existing Seakeeper 16 for enhanced roll stability. Additional upgrades included a 4th Station Control, a KVH Satellite System, and Underwater Lights.

The 4th Station Control improved docking and maneuverability, offering seamless navigation from both sides of the yacht. The KVH Satellite System provided high-speed connectivity for entertainment and communication, even in remote waters. To enhance aesthetics, we installed Underwater Lights, adding a captivating glow to elevate the yacht’s elegance.

Additional Seakeeper

Seakeeper 9 Gyro Stabiliser, to be fitted in addition to the Seakeeper 16 Stabiliser already fitted. The Seakeeper 9 retrofit further increased the roll stability of the Princess 78Y. With limited space available this installation was the perfect challenge for our expert Seakeeper Engineers.

4th Station Control

The 4th Station installation to the Port side of the vessel was in addition to the factory install on the Stbd side. Our team completed this install with the idea to perfectly replicate the Stbd side setup.
