Princess Yachts have announced the launch of the all-new Princess V50 and V50-Open model.
The first V50 recently completed her initial sea trial in the manufacturer’s home of Plymouth, where she delivered impeccable performance, with sure-footed handling and a smooth ride.
The all-new Princess V50 replaces the ever-popular outgoing model in the company’s V Class range. 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 Penta IPS600 or IPS650 engines that can deliver maximum speeds of over 30 knots, and an extended cruising range over the outgoing model through increased fuel capacity.
The V50 is characterised by sleek styling, with a new extended full-length hull window graphic which integrates the aft air intake, also seen on the class-leading Princess V55. The canopy styling blade is available with an optional paint contrast to enhance the V50’s sporty aesthetic. Instantly recognisable as a member of the V Class, the elevated interior styling consists of attractive design lines with flowing shapes and forms.
Princess’s design team have designed the cockpit arrangement and bathing platform to maximise the levels of outdoor living space. Patio doors enclose the deck saloon to create a climate-controlled sanctuary, featuring a U-shaped dining area with sideboard opposite concealing a TV on rise and fall mechanism.
Below deck is a bright, modern open galley. Four guests enjoy two beautifully appointed cabins that are filled with natural light from the extensive hull glazing, with a full-beam master stateroom situated amidships.
