Princess Yachts International is ready for the upcoming important London Boat Show taking place in January, which will be the perfect start to a landmark year for the brand. 2012 will be a very significant year for the Plymouth based boatbuilder, with the launch of their larges to date vessel – the Princess 40M yacht. During the show, Princess will have the largest boat on display inside London’s ExCeL again as the 32M Princess superyacht takes pride of place in the boardwalk to provide a magnificent centre piece for the whole show. In addition, world premiere will be received by the V38 boat, marking a stunning return to the sub-40 foot sector. Also making her international debut at the London show is the Princess V57 yacht, another superb addition to the ever popular Princess V Class range.
“The London Show is an extremely important event in our calendar,” commented Chris Gates, Managing Director of Princess Yachts International. “It opens the year with a positive boost to our business and provides us with a good spring board for next 12 months. Last year we chose London as the venue to launch our 32M and it was absolutely the right decision. We had an extremely positive response both in sales and media coverage and, while much smaller in physical size, we are sure the V39 and V57 will have the same impact”.
The new Princess V39 boat provides a very welcome proposition for those who prefer smaller craft yet still demand the very best in style, performance and quality. A unique hull design and powerful Volvo D6-330 engines ensure she is both exhilarating and economical with quick transition to plane and highly efficient cruising speeds.
Her interior is light and spacious and, as with every Princess, she is finished with the finest materials, craftsmanship and detailing throughout. The large saloon and well equipped galley combine for a highly sociable entertaining space and both cabins are generously proportioned and contemporarily styled.
She has also been designed to be as practical as she is elegant with an expansive teak-laid cockpit complete with large wetbar and generous seating and a transom platform large enough to accommodate a tender.
With a list price of £235,000 (ex tax) the new V39 is set to redefine the standard for her class and in keeping with the rest of the Princess V Class range, truly is a sports cruiser without compromise.
The Princess V57 is elegant, exhilarating and incredibly spacious. A large main deck saloon with opening sunroof and triple sliding doors connects beautifully to the aft cockpit to provide a truly exhilarating ‘open boating’ experience. Yet, with doors and roof closed, also offers the perfect haven to escape from the heat of the day without sacrificing the wonderful views.
A submersible bathing platform and large garage for a tender or jet-ski make enjoying watersports from the V57 a real pleasure and the large sun bed and generous seating in the cockpit make this the perfect place to relax or soak up the sun.
Down below, the intelligent use of space makes the V57 feel like a much larger craft. The galley is stylishly equipped and finished, and the three light-filled cabins all have spacious en-suite bathrooms. The owner’s stateroom is positioned aft where it enjoys the full beam, while the forward double cabin can be fitted with optional scissor berths for greater flexibility.
