REPEAT PRINCESS OWNERS RELISH THE EXPERIENCE AND FRIENDSHIPS SEEING BLU It was over a decade ago when Kathy and Erich Hahn first fell for Princess Yachts at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. At the time, Bluewater Sales Professional John McDevitt (now retired) introduced the Hahns to the Princess Flybridge line. Coming from a 40-foot cabin cruiser, they thought the Flybridge models were a bit big, so they landed in the middle on a 52’ Princess from the popular V-Series. Named BuckyHawk, their Princess V52 allowed them the opportunity to take a dream trip to the Bahamas. “John spent a lot of time getting us comfortable with our new Princess,” Hahn recalls. McDevitt also introduced them to one of his other Princess customers who had traveled throughout the Bahamas more than once. BOAT BUDDIES The Hahns joined friends in their 67’ Princess Flybridge for BuckyHawk’s first trip to the Bahamas. This was only the beginning of forging many new friendships, cruises, and adventures with fellow Princess owners. Princess Yachts America makes it easy for owners to gather and develop relationships as they host multiple rendezvous events each year in different locales. The Princess Experience is not limited to the boat and rendezvous events—it encompasses a company-wide mantra from the top down. “Everyone we met at Princess Yachts is a joy to work with,” exclaims Hahn. “From Tom Carroll Sr., Tom Carroll Jr., James Nobel, Ryan Fitchett, to the people on the service side who help commission our boats.” 27 2023 SEASON
