Princess Yachts, the UK's leading luxury yacht manufacturer, has announced that the North American debut of the all-new Princess V50 will be featured at this year's Palm Beach International Boat Show.
Crafted with a new deep-V hull for sure-footed handling and impeccable seakeeping, the V50 allows thrill seekers to travel further afield. Available as a deck saloon or open model, the V50 features new standards of refinement in interior fixtures and fittings as seen on her larger counterpart in the V Class range, the V55, also on display at this year's show. An extended canopy creates the perfect place for guests to enjoy the outdoors under the large shaded cockpit area, whilst attractive shapes and forms flow throughout the main deck saloon.
Tom Carroll Jr, President, Princess Yachts America said: "The Palm Beach International Boat Show is one that so many look forward to each year. For Princess Yachts, the opportunity to exhibit an outstanding line-up highlighted by the North American premiere showing of the all new V50 front and centre in the show is outstanding. Attendance at last year's show was unprecedented, and the excitement we have seen throughout the show season so far will undoubtedly continue as we look forward to one of the most popular boating events of the year."
Alongside the V50 will be two members of the Y Class range, the beautifully sculpted Y78 and the new Y85 featuring the latest full-length hull window graphic and two optional cockpit dining layouts. Princess Y Class Motor Yachts deliver an unmatched combination of luxury, interior ambience and space. Also on display, will be the Princess S66, the progressive V55 and V60, plus the multi award-winning Princess F45 and F55 from Princess's F Class flybridge range. The show takes place from the 24th - 27th March along Flagler Drive in downtown West Palm Beach.

The Y78 sports a new hardtop design and features the very latest in interior materials and finishes. She features a walkthrough foredeck with U-shaped seating and sunbathing area, whilst the flybridge aft has space for free-standing furniture or can accommodate a crane and a tender.

Her innovative V-shaped hull provides the foundation to the V55's agility and ability to deliver on a clear brief for the modern sports yacht owner's demands - elegance of form, quality of materials, perfect practicality and inspiring dynamics. At the heart of the V hull's stability and predictability is the compact, efficient, highpower twin Volvo D13 engines that deliver up to 2,000 mhp combined and a top speed of over 35 knots. The result is an intoxicating combination of engine performance, physical dimensions and sea-keeping behaviour - classic V Class traits. With new standards of refinement in interior fixtures, fittings and definition of space, and a striking exterior design language recognisable by the new exterior V Class windows and rakish profile, there is a clear purpose of design. V60 Dynamic, yet agile, this addition to the V Class range is sure to delight the adventurous with its incredible performance and sea-keeping, fantastic handling and ability to reach speeds up to 38 knots. The progressive V60 sports yacht pushes the boundaries in terms of design and innovation with its unique deep-V hull, ensuring fuel and space efficiencies.

Like its stablemates, the F45 is packed with technical innovations that ensure this compact yacht feels as spacious above deck as it does below. Together with its elegant full-length hull windows, beautifully resolved surfacing, and unique design details, the F45 will establish itself as the benchmark small flybridge yacht. Princess F55 - photo © Princess Yachts F55 The award-winning Princess F55 flybridge delivers magnificent performance and uncompromising comfort in equal measure. Designed for outdoor living, her 17.80m2 flybridge features a convertible sunbed, twin helm seats, a wetbar and ergonomic dining area. Below deck, both the master stateroom and forward cabin feature large double beds whilst the starboard guest cabin with two single beds can also be converted in to a double. Together with its expansive saloon and hull windows, that flood each deck with light, this oasis of calm can then be propelled to a top speed approaching 33 knots.
