Princess 56, 64, 72 Motor Yacht and 82 Motor Yacht flybridge models and the Princess V39, V52 and V57 sports yachts will be also on display.
The Princess V48 Open has attracted critical acclaim since its recent international launch. The latest model in the V Class sports range, it is a highly capable craft delivering performance, efficiency and exceptional handling, both at sea and at close quarters. The resin infused hull is designed to quicken the transition to plane, improving efficiency whilst delivering outstanding performance and handling thanks to its Volvo IPS engines and drive system. She also benefits from an incredibly spacious open cockpit to offer the ultimate open boating experience.
The teak-laid cockpit, with its generous seating, creates the perfect space to enjoy life on deck and is shaded by the canopy and electrically operated sliding sun roof which provides versatility to enjoy the complete open boating experience. It incorporates a wetbar and, further aft, a large integrated sunbed is positioned above the tender garage, which can accommodate a 3.25m jet-rib. There is a further ‘J’ shaped seat forward, adjacent to the twin helm seats providing companion seating when underway.
