Princess V58: Open review

The latest addition to the V Class range, the dynamic new V58, is available in two versions – Open or Deck Saloon. It is the first in the next generation of Princess high-performance sports yachts.

As shown by Motor Boat & Yachting video review, the boat features a spacious sunpad aft, long sweeping bow, sleek roofline and, in the middle, a vast, single-level cockpit with enough seats for a football team and a wet-bar packed with features that are aimed at helping you have fun in the sun.

Highlights include a large forward hull window that has been designed to flood the lower accommodation areas with light.

Meanwhile, the one-level main deck prioritises socialising space, with fore and aft sunpads in addition to a centre teak saloon table.

Then there’s the performance because with the largest pair of Volvo Penta D13 900hp engines the boat will romp along at 35 knots with ease and, in the turns, well it will embarrass a few RIBs.

Despite the focus on deck spaces, though, below decks the V58 Open is immaculately finished and offers two excellent double cabins with a supplementary bunk cabin for occasional guests or children.
