The Plymouth-based yard has revealed details of the upcoming Princess 49, which will be its first IPS-powered flybridge
Not content with unveiling two brand new models in the form of the Princess S65 and the V58 Open, Princess Yachts has given visitors to the Southampton Boat Show a tantalising glimpse of the future.
Due to be launched next year, the Princess 49 will be the first flybridge model from the Plymouth yard to come with Volvo Penta’s IPS system.
With 550hp per side, the Princess 49 should be capable of top speed of around 35 knots, the manufacturer added.
Key features include triple sliding cockpit doors and a rear galley that comes fitted with a full-height fridge/freezer, tucked just beneath the flybridge stairs on the starboard side.
Further forward, owners will find an L-shaped saloon behind a twin helm position, all surrounded by the large windows that have become something of a Princess trademark of late.
Below decks, the three-cabin layout includes a full-beam master suite, forecabin with optional scissor berths, and a twin bunk bed guest cabin to starboard.
Prices and arrival dates are yet to be confirmed, but we wouldn’t be surprised to see the Princess 49 get a public debut at the 2016 London Boat Show (January 8-17).
