Princess V48 OFF SEASON

All Trades Considered | In House Financing Available

Princess incorporates many tactile and visual details like leather pieces on cabinet knobs, faux textured leather on rails and small, backlit pillars inside of a drawer where the china is stowed. Princess uses the same components and hardware as on its X95. It shows in features like galley drawers on tracks that close softly instead of slamming. The woodwork is beautiful and meticulously finished, with leather and stone accents that add substance rather than glitz.

The portside galley below allows in natural light thanks to an open, atrium like connection with the upper deck. This galley has a floor-to-ceiling Liebherr fridge/freezer, stainless-steel sink and three-burner Trident convection stove. To starboard is the lounge with a table that converts to a berth.

The spaciousness continues in the aft master suite. Substantial windows and 6 feet of headroom give it a sense of expansiveness, while the full beam allows for a lounge, full-size bed and large dresser. An en-suite head has an enclosed shower, Dometic toilet and signature Perrin and Rowe ceramic sink. Princess used Avonite composites to good effect on the galley countertops as well as the head soles. Her VIP suite, with scissor berths that open up the space, also has 6 feet 7 inches of headroom. It connects to another large, full-feature head doing double duty as a day-head, with a separate door to the galley.

Princess designed the helm as an all-weather station that can be buttoned down in rough weather or opened up on warm days. A large sunroof slides open, and the driver’s side has an opening window for ventilation. Her helm has a double seat- two bucket seats abutting each other- that makes a stylish alternative to a bench seat setup. The helm station is well laid out with good visibility through the windshield and side windows.

The V48 also has a teak swim platform with hydraulic lift to float the tender (up to 11 feet length overall, 880 pounds) into the water. Her transom features a sizable stowage locker. This vessel’s cockpit is accessed from the starboard side of the swim platform via three steps and a 21-inch-wide door; the steps on the port side lead directly to the port deck.

The salon, with a lounge to port and console (with a pop-up TV and entertainment center) to starboard, was made for socializing.
