Tand the sides, with windows extending nearly the full length, define the “gently-aggressive” design of the Princess V50. Officially unveiled in January, it is now hitting the water—and doing so with a strong sense of personality. Available with numerous layout options—for example, at the stern, you can choose between an ExtraLarge sun deck with an open space leading to the helm area or an L-shaped seating area for dining in the cockpit. The central salon is covered by a sunroof that extends practically the entire length of the boat, and thanks to the nearly 360° glazing, plenty of natural light is guaranteed, making the space feel even more spacious.

Going below deck, however, we find a second lounge with a table and galley, a space that separates the two double cabins, both of which have bathrooms with separate showers. However, the dinette can also be converted, at the owner’s request, into a third cabin with twin beds. Here, too, both the cabins and the dinette benefit from the natural light provided by the side windows.
On the water, the V50 doesn’t hide its true nature. The V-Class has always had excellent seaworthiness, but this generation has been completely redesigned. It has been improved not only in terms of hull design but also in construction, thanks to the use of new materials and infusion molding. The result is a lighter overall structure, which allows for greater engine efficiency while also lowering the planing speed and, consequently, fuel consumption. Propulsion is provided by a pair of Volvo IPS 600 units (2x 435 mhp), which deliver an estimated top speed of 30–32 knots. At the stern, the electro-hydraulic swim platform provides easy access to the garage, which—in addition to numerous water features—can accommodate a 3.25-meter tender. The V50 thus stands out in its class as a luxury sports yacht, the ideal choice for long-range cruises.
