Projects: Princess V52, Princess V56, Princess V72, Princess 72 Motor Yacht

Princess yachts comes from a successful period being one of the few boat builders who did the last financial year with an improvement. The British builder had a year where it presented three new models in 2009. In 2010 the Princess challenges the market with four new models: three V series, one Motor Yacht line, and not to forget the addition of the M Class line of Super Yachts above 100 feet. The first of these new models will be the V52, a Sport Yacht which will be the smallest Princess of the V series line available with an enclosed deck saloon, extending the boating season for full year use. Her accommodation will be a two or three cabin plan: with full beam mid ship owners cabin, VIP cabin to fore, and double bunk third guest cabin or L-shaped saloon. The living on deck offers a large C-shaped settee aft for entertainment Al fresco, and another settee under the hardtop. L-shaped galley is located in the lower deck. Power for the new V52 will be from twin Volvo D11 670hp, with speeds estimates of a max of 35 knots. The new Princess V56 is a further development of the V53, with the main difference being an extension of the length thanks to a hi low bathing platform aft, and now having also the option of a more powerful new Volvo D13 900hp engines. This new option increases the speed to a further two knots, now a max of 38 versus the D12 775hp engines, which is now the smallest option of the V56. For the rest this keeps the same lower deck of the V53, with a three cabin plan having the owners cabin to fore, two guest cabins to mid ship, a C-shaped saloon, and a spacious galley. A more modern oak veneer choice for the interior furniture should also be available for the new V56. Replacing the V70, the new V72 project enhances Princess reputation in modern Sport Yacht offers. Princess V series presented in the mid nineteen nineties have been a good balance of speed, modern looks and accommodation. This new big model in the range, third in size behind the recently launched V85 and V78 will boast an extensive outdoor entertainment space with high facilities on the main deck creating an outdoor indoor experience thanks to the hard top and patio door. Below there is the usual level of accommodation with a three double cabin layout, galley, and double crew cabin aft. Power for the Princess V72 will be twin Cats C32 Acert of 1622hp and 1723hp. Estimates of top speeds are for 39 knots with the bigger choice. The Princess 72 Motor Yacht, replaces the 21M and introduces standards of design, space and quality of execution that the British builder introduced in this 2007 added line. The accommodation is a spacious, light, and elegant offer with four double guest cabins with three heads. Aft is also an additional double crew cabin. Power is from twin MTU 10v 2000M93 1500hp, with top speeds estimates of 34 knots.
