The all-new Princess V50 Open

Designed by the Princess Design Studio in collaboration with naval architects Olesinski and Italian design house, Pininfarina, the V50 has been created using all- new hull, deck and canopy moulds to redefine one of the core models in the range. At the heart of the new deep-V hull are compact, yet highly efficient, twin Volvo IPS650 engines that can deliver maximum speeds of over 30 knots. Princess’s design team have designed the cockpit arrangement and bathing platform to maximise  outdoor  living  space,  with  an  elongated  canopy  which  provides a comfortable shaded area to escape the heat of the sun whilst being in a  position  to  fully  appreciate  the  yacht’s  balanced  performance.  The main deck features a U- shaped dining area with an outdoor galley opposite. Further forward, the helmsman and navigator are perfectly positioned, the bespoke twin helm seats raised for clear sightlines through the single-pane windscreen. The large sliding roof section with integrated glazing above offers the total flexibility of a truly    open boating experience.

Boats on display

X95

Princess Yachts’ ‘Superfly’ X Class range re-defines the practical potential and lifestyle options aboard with a complete re-think of yacht architecture. Challenged with setting a new standard of layout excellence, which is defined by large, adaptable spaces that can be used and formatted in numerous ways, it offers the owner and guests a uniquely flexible boating lifestyle. Both the flybridge and main deck interior space cover almost the full length of the yacht, creating the Super Flybridge – the X Class’s defining characteristic.  This new layout provides 10% more outdoor space and 40% more indoor space than a traditional motor yacht.

S78

The flagship of the S Class range, the exhilarating S78 perfectly balances luxury and    scintillating    performance.    A    resin-infused    hull    delivers    exceptional    performance   with   breath-taking   agility   up   to   39   knots.   When   at   anchor, peacefulness descends onto her generously appointed deck  areas  whilst  her  hydraulic bathing platform and 4.45m tender garage with integrated tender launch system become the perfect base for watersports.

Her interior inspires relaxation with a range of exclusive  furnishings,  ambient  lighting and a cavernous main deck saloon, seamlessly connected to the outside world through full length side windows.

S66

The S66’s sporting credentials are underlined by a lightweight deep-V hull coupled with the latest MAN V12-1400 engines to deliver 38 knots.  Princess Design Studio’s design language is evidenced by the sweeping panoramic glazing  sections on both the hull and superstructure. Designed for outdoor lifestyles, the S66 offers generously appointed deck areas, which include a spacious foredeck seating area, whilst her hydraulic bathing platform and  3.3m  tender  garage  become the perfect base for water sports.

S62

Like its larger siblings, the S62 is built upon Princess’s renowned V- shaped hull and   coupled   with   the   latest   MAN   V8   1200   engines, meaning   outstanding   seakeeping and speeds of up to 38 knots. Designed from the outset for a sporting lifestyle, an electro-hydraulic bathing platform creates a convenient launch system for a 3.3m tender, a jet ski, or simply a secluded base from which to swim. The S62 is designed for entertaining alfresco with an aft galley and open-plan dining area. Below deck, six guests are comfortably accommodated across an en-suite full- beam owner’s stateroom and two further guest cabins  with  the  option  of  an  additional crew cabin aft.

V55

The V55 sports yacht nestles in the heart of the iconic V Class line-up.  Her innovative V- shaped hull provides the foundation to the V55’s agility and ability to deliver on a clear brief for the modern sports yacht owner’s demands –     elegance of form, quality of materials, perfect practicality and inspiring dynamics.  At the heart of the V hull’s stability and predictability is the  compact,  efficient,  high-power twin Volvo D13 engines that deliver up to 2,000 mhp combined and a top speed  of  over  35  knots.  The result is an intoxicating combination of engine performance, physical dimensions and sea-keeping behaviour  – classic  V  Class  traits. With new standards of refinement in interior fixtures, fittings and definition of space, and a striking exterior design language recognisable by the new exterior V Class windows and rakish profile, there is a clear purpose of design.

V40

The V40’s ultra-responsive handling and thrilling acceleration is something to behold, especially when the sunroof is open, creating over  5  square  metres  of  open  space,  it’s  a  true  open  boating  experience.  Progressive lines have been created with new port light window glazing running almost the entire length of the hull flooding the saloon and cabins with light. Interior highlights include a pewter grey and off- white palette that is both modern and elegant depicts  the  new  unmistakable  V  Class  look  with  draped  contrast  styling  utilised  on  upholstery  throughout.
