SORANA II Yacht Description
-
Wide swim platform with boarding ladder:
Easy access to water for swimming and launching water toys, loved by families and swimmers. -
Water sports gear including kayak, wakeboard, kneeboard & SUP:
Variety of toys onboard for active guests to enjoy exploring islands and having fun in the water. -
Stabilizers at anchor:
Ensures smooth, restful nights for guests undisturbed by waves when moored in scenic spots.
SORANA II is basically a 75-foot Princess wrapped around a high-end cinema and a serious chef. If you care more about sound systems and food than Instagram shots of hull lines, this is your boat.
For an 8-guest, 4-cabin yacht, the hardware is unusually dialed in: every cabin has its own ensuite, separate A/C controls, and its own TV/audio setup, topped by Harman Kardon / KEF systems in the master, VIP and saloon. Translation: everyone can disappear into their own universe without fighting over the “good room.”
The other unfair advantage is the crew. The captain has been running SORANA in its various forms for well over a decade, and the chef’s sample menu reads like someone cross-bred a French bistro with a tasting menu. If your priority is “restaurant-level food without leaving the yacht,” this ticks that box hard.
Outside, SORANA II plays the quality-of-life hits: full stabilizers at anchor to keep the boat steady, Starlink Wi‑Fi so work and streaming actually function offshore, and a proper swim platform feeding straight into a tender, wakeboard, kneeboard, kayak, SUP and snorkel arsenal. It’s built for people who want to move, not just sit and tan.
Launched in 2018 and refit in 2023, she feels current rather than “classic,” with 3 double cabins plus a flexible twin/convertible cabin that makes life easy for couples, friends or family groups. If you want an 8‑guest yacht where the real value is comfort, tech, and crew competence rather than gimmicks, SORANA II is the rational choice hiding in a sea of hype.

Price Terms
Plus Expenses - add APA to the price you see
Plus Expenses arrangement includes the boat and crew only (without tip).
All additional/variable expenses such as Gas and Food are deducted from an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) - an additional deposit that is added on top of the charter price.
The expenses, such as provisioning, fuel, marina fees, are deducted from the APA. The APA is based on the price of the yacht and ranges from 15% (crewed sailing yachts) to 30% (motor yachts with higher fuel consumption).
For a motor yacht like SORANA II, the expected APA is 25% to 40% of the charter price ($8,750 - $14,000), making the charter cost $43,750 to $49,000. Exact amount will be confirmed after inquiry.
You can actively control these expenses in your preference sheet (local vs. imported beverages) and by choice of itinerary (distances traveled).
The remainder of the APA is returned after charter.

Reviews
The most special trip we have ever had as a family.
Jean Marc, Veasna, Sophie were unbelievable and the boat was fantastic.
We have to leave but hope to charter with this crew again sometime in the future, St Martin, St Barths & Anguilla.

The yacht has been incredible, the signts marvelous and the itinerary perfect, relaxing
But the captain & crew have made the trip exceptional.
Jean Marc, Veasna & Laurent made our entire trip phenomenal. What will we do without them?
We hope to be back onboard again soon!

BROKER NOTES
The crew was simply outstanding! I really don’t have a single complaint.
They took such great care of us, fed us incredibly well, and were a delight to be with.
We were so lucky to have them.
The yacht is incredible too. I’m glad I chose a Princess Yacht.
We will consider them again.
The captain took us to the most beautiful beaches, the crew had knowledge of the best places to snorkel, shop, etc.
The chef was extremely accommodating to health and dietary restrictions.
Even with dietary restrictions he made the best meals we had on the trip on or off the boat.
The service was top notch, our only regret is that we didn’t have more time to spend on this charter!
Dedicated effort of captain to make it possible.
fantastic food of Laurent
Bright energy and worm smile of Veasna.
Our deep appreciation to them !
The crew was wonderful, the food was outstanding and the boat was always clean.
Thank you for wonderful memories we had !
