About the yacht
About RECORD YEAR
Description as supplied.
Perfect for those looking to escape to the gorgeous, crystalline seas of the Bahamas, 85’ (26m) Princess Yachts RECORD YEAR offers the ultimate charter experience.
This bespoke, brand-new motor yacht was launched in 2021, offering an array of high-quality accommodations, amenities and technologies onboard. Able to host up to 8 guests for overnight stays, RECORD YEAR offers an intimate journey at sea focused on comfort and exploration.
RECORD YEAR is one of the most highly equipped yachts on the market, loaded with upgrades and options, and molded perfectly in her clean, sleek exterior design. Thanks to her stabilizers underway and at anchor, traveling aboard this motor yacht is seamless. She was meticulously designed to maximize time spent outdoors with an expansive Flybridge and enlarged Foredeck area for the perfect view of the sun setting on the horizon.
Climbing up her initial steps to the aft deck, it is immediately apparent that RECORD YEAR is dedicated to the alfresco lifestyle with ample room and a molded lounge, perfect for enjoying the perfect lunch after a long day of on-water adventures with her toys.
Through the doors of the deck, guests enter an immaculate main salon, boasting the triumph of contemporary design and saturated in warm wood paneling. Her elegant sweeping profile provides commodious space, an interior sanctuary that transforms the benchmark for modern living. As an expansive, single-level main deck, the salon is structured as a flexible gallery arrangement with three separate seating areas to ensure the utmost privacy for guests and discretion for crew services.
Below deck, up to eight guests are accommodated across four beautifully appointed en suite cabins. Amidships, the full-beam master suite is a champion of spatial design, whilst the en suite VIP cabin, forward, boasts a large double bed and walk-in-wardrobe. Furthermore, one double and one twin cabin (convertible into a double) complete her spacious accommodation.
Her magnificence, however, lies with her flybridge. Irresistible, luxury and alfresco – this space offers a massive dining area, parallel to a fully-equipped wet bar and large aft sunpad. With plush lounging and gorgeous teak wood flooring, guests can relax, entertain or read a book in the warmth of the ocean breeze. From there, the foredeck additionally offers a large space to enjoy a family get-together or sundowner with friends while laying out in the sun. With her tenders and toys, a trip to the Bahamas is never short of unforgettable.

Cruising the Bahamas: when to go and where to anchor
Best time
The primary charter season runs from mid-December through April, marked by prevailing easterly trade winds of 10 to 20 knots and dry conditions. Occasional winter cold fronts bring stronger northwesterly winds. May is warm and calm. The Atlantic hurricane season officially spans 1 June to 30 November, bringing higher humidity, increased rainfall, and lower charter traffic, though summer conditions can offer settled seas outside of tropical systems.
Practical tips
- Fly into Nassau (NAS) or Exuma (GGT); Nassau's marinas are 20–30 minutes from Lynden Pindling International, while regional and private flights access Out Island airstrips.
- Cruising permits are required upon entry, and fishing or shelling is strictly prohibited within the boundaries of the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park.
- Provision thoroughly in Nassau before departing for the Out Islands, where grocery selections are limited and dependent on weekly freight deliveries.
Anchorages to know
- Shroud CayLocated within the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park, this uninhabited mangrove island offers tidal creeks navigable by tender and sheltered anchorage on its western side.
- Staniel CayA central Exuma hub providing protected mooring options, direct access to Thunderball Grotto, and close proximity to Big Major Cay.
- Warderick Wells CayThe headquarters of the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park features a protected mooring field within a natural deep-water channel and marked hiking trails.
- Highbourne CaySituated at the northern gateway to the Exumas, it provides sheltered anchorage on its leeward side and an established marina for fuel and water.
