Princess Yachts has announced that there will be a stunning line-up of six Princess models on display at this year’s British Motor Yacht Show which will take place in Premier Marinas Swanwick, Southampton from the 11 – 14 May. The Princess showcase includes the X80, S62, F55, F50, V50 Deck and V40.
X80
With an open-living approach in mind, the Princess X80 features large distinctive spaces which flow into one another to provide a flexible and versatile experience. Offering state-of-the art twin MAN V12 engines, further afield cruising is achieved with the option of a long range 8,800 litre tank. Offering a true Princess experience, comfortable, quiet cruising is achieved with a sound-insulated engine room and optimised engine mounts to reduce vibration. The X80 offers further exciting performance, fitted with state-of-the art twin MAN V12 engines. The X80’s layout is defined by exceptional interior living spaces, with flowing forms crafted throughout all three decks accompanied by advanced scene lighting selections and elegant furniture which demonstrate the unique capabilities of Princess’s craftmanship.
S62
Like its larger siblings, the S62 is built upon Princess’s renowned Deep-V 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 also the perfect place 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.
F55
The F55’s exterior design language is characterised by a hull window graphic which elongates her sleek lines and is complemented by the canopy styling blade which is available with optional paint contrast to provide a sporty aesthetic previously only seen on the V Class models. Equipped with twin Volvo D13 900 engines she is powerful too providing speeds up to 33 knots, this coupled to her Deep-V hull ensures the F55 delivers dynamic and effortless seakeeping.
V50 Deck Saloon
Designed by the Princess Design Studio in collaboration with naval architects Olesinski and Italian design house, Pininfarina, the V50 combines sporting prowess and the freedom of open boating with the flexibility of a fully enclosed saloon. 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. With the patio doors fully open, this whole area connects seamlessly to the main deck saloon creating one large sociable space.
Princess F50
Core F Class qualities are at the heart of the F50, with bespoke design qualities inside and out. The F50 features Princess’ exterior design language characterised by an extended knife-edge hull window running from the bow, plus the eradication of the central windscreen spear for increased visibility when boating. The sociable cockpit connects to the sizeable aft galley to provide a seamless transition from outside to in, whilst patio doors open to the saloon – comprised of a large U-shaped seating area with convertible coffee/dining table and two-seater sofa.
Princess 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 and full window glazing run 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 and depicts the unmistakable V Class look with draped contrast styling utilised on upholstery throughout.
