The V Series will be represented by the stylish and sporty V52 who will be making her Australian debut, the V62 which was awarded the 2010 European Motor Boat of the Year and both sitting alongside the truly awesome V85-S. The ultra sleek and stylish Princess flybridge range will be represented by the very latest Princess 64 and the amazing 72 Motor Yacht.

With breathtaking good looks, dynamic performance and versatile accommodation, the V52 will redefine her class. The arrival of this new model is a landmark event in the evolution of the Princess range. Complementing the fully ‘open’ models within the V Class range, the main deck of the V52 consists of two independent entertaining areas, the aft cockpit and the enclosed saloon forward of triple sliding glass doors.  The V52 is a two stateroom craft with a full beam master and a full sized stateroom forward with an en-suite bathroom and shower. Adjacent to the galley, the lower saloon is elegantly styled as a separate entertaining area and can be converted to provide additional berths. In the V52 the latest in sports yacht technology combine with Princess’ characteristic deep-V hull for the ultimate combination of assured sea-keeping and manoeuvrability to inspire confidence for the most relaxed and enjoyable boating experiences.

The Princess 64 delivers the ultimate in Princess flybridge cruising with the space to fully enjoy it. Her sporty profile hides a spacious four-cabin motor yacht rich with light, elegant detailing and unprecedented scope for entertaining. The vast flybridge is a wonderfully relaxed setting whether underway or at anchor. A large teak table with generous seating provides the perfect space for alfresco dining while the well equipped wet-bar, barbecue and wide sun-bed ensure it is also a highly sociable entertaining space. There is an additional entertaining area in the cockpit from which wide side decks lead to an additional sunbathing area at the bow. Inside, the saloon layout incorporates a two-seater settee facing a generous U-shaped sofa, and a separate dining area adjacent to the galley.

The 72 Motor Yacht combines the elegance and detail of a true motor yacht with the agility and performance of a sports cruiser. The expansive flybridge fulfils its purpose in style; the upper helm position provides exceptional visibility and well positioned controls. When it comes to taking life a little slower the wet-bar, barbecue and generous space make life a pleasure with room enough to store the tender or jet ski. Plus an optional hard top has been fitted to our boatshow boat, featuring a retractable sun-roof for comfortable cruising while underway. The full-width main deck saloon creates an impressive area for entertaining with a large dinette and cocktail bar.
