Designed by Italian Pininfarina in partnership with Ben Ainslie Racing Technologies (BAR Technologies) the R35 is the first Princess R Class performance sports yacht.
With its impressive performance capabilities, sleek design, quality, race-bred technology and speed of up to 50 knots, this is a yacht we are very much looking forward to seeing at the show.
Down below the R35 has a spacious cabin, bathroom with wet shower room, and a U-shaped seating surrounding a dining table which can be converted into a double bed with integrated blinds.
The galley features a sink, drawers and storage space, plus a 32-inch LED television and Blu-ray CD/DVD player.
Princess V60
The latest addition to the award-winning V Class Range, the Princess V60 benefits from a unique deep-vee hull and speed up to 38 knots.
With its open-plan saloon, U-shaped sofa and electric sliding sunroof that leads to the aft galley with its generous L-shaped sofa and folding dining table, this is a yacht made for entertaining. The sliding doors open out to the large cockpit which features a wetbar with barbecue and coolbox, where guests can dine al fresco, relax on the sunpad, or enjoy watersports from the bathing platform. The spacious foredeck has a seating area and forward sunbathing area with the option of a large sun awning.
Princess V60 sleeps six in three cabins and the owners’ stateroom features a sofa, generous storage and a private ensuite.
Princess 70
Princess 70, the latest addition to the brand’s Flybridge class is a modern and beautiful yacht with excellent cruising capabilities.
The 26.6m2 flybridge boasts a spacious U-shaped dining area, a fully- equipped wetbar with barbecue, aft sunpad and a forward seating area next to the helm which can be converted into a sunbed.
On the main deck, the aft galley opens out towards the cockpit, whilst the saloon offers a more formal dining table which can be separated into two different areas, thanks to large glass sliding doors.
Below there are four cabins: a full beam master stateroom amidships with a private staircase, a forward VIP guest cabin and two twin cabins.
