PRINCESS V48 OPEN - PRINCESS FOR SALE

Princess V48 Open – Single Ownership, Premium Spec and Fastidiously Kept

We are delighted to present this standout Princess V48 Open, recently accepted in part exchange from her first and only custodian.

Her provenance is exemplary. From delivery she has enjoyed indoor winter storage and thorough annual servicing, a regime that speaks to the exceptional care bestowed upon her throughout.

An elegant, sporty open motor yacht with true express cruiser poise, the V48 Open delivers generous sociable spaces and a versatile layout equally suited to carefree day boating and longer coastal cruising. The electrically actuated fabric sunroof brings the full open‑air experience at a touch, while the cockpit can be swiftly enclosed when conditions call for shelter.

Below decks, accommodation is arranged for up to six, with two spacious double cabins complemented by a convertible saloon. The full‑beam owner’s suite sits amidships for optimal comfort, and the forward guest cabin offers a welcoming double that can separate into twin berths for added flexibility.

Maneuvering is wonderfully intuitive. Volvo Penta IPS with joystick control is paired with DPS – Dynamic Positioning System – and a bow thruster, making close‑quarters handling in marinas and tight fairways reassuringly simple, even for short‑handed crews.

DPS allows the yacht to hold station electronically, an invaluable aid when waiting for a bridge, preparing fenders and mooring lines, or pausing for an available berth, all with calm, precise control.

Designed for effortless, comfortable cruising, the large aft tender garage accommodates a RIB with ease, and together with the electro‑hydraulic lowering bathing platform, launch and recovery are straightforward. At anchor, the platform transforms into a superb waterside terrace, placing you right at the edge of the sea.

Her specification is equally compelling for a luxury sports cruiser. In addition to the Volvo Penta IPS with joystick, DPS and bow thruster, she benefits from the Humphree automatic trim system for balanced performance, anchor winches fitted forward and aft for versatile mooring, diesel heating for extended seasons afloat, and a generator to ensure onboard autonomy. The tender garage and electro‑hydraulic platform enhance practicality, while the two double cabins and convertible saloon underscore her family‑friendly versatility.

Altogether, the Princess V48 Open is an exceptionally complete open yacht for those who prize Princess craftsmanship and comfort, blended with open‑air exhilaration and effortless handling.

With one owner from new, documented annual maintenance, indoor wintering and an extensive inventory, this is a pedigree example that genuinely merits inspection.

Full specification

Propulsion is assured by twin Volvo Penta IPS 600 engines, each rated at 435 hp, managed with intuitive joystick control and monitored through a seven-inch LED engine display. Protection and precision come together with the ACP system Active Corrosion Protection and the DPS Dynamic Positioning System, complemented by a bow thruster delivering 120 kgf or 265 lbf of thrust, while a Humphree trim system with AUTO-TRIM, AUTO-LIST and COORDINATED TURN functions refines attitude and handling at every speed.

The exterior presents a white hull traced by a dark grey waterline, black antifouling and a dark blue hull pinstripe, with hull and bathing platform protection in white accented by a stainless steel insert, dark grey engine air intakes and an anthracite grey hardtop.

Inside, a walnut interior with a satin finish includes the galley floor in walnut as standard, with walnut saloon flooring in place of carpet, and white leather upholstery gracing the saloon sofa and the master cabin. The layout features a convertible split berth in the forward cabin, a lower dinette with a telescopic lowering table and infill cushion, and a second access door from the passageway to the forward bathroom. The galley is appointed with a full-height fridge/freezer as standard and a white Avonite worktop. Both bathrooms are crafted with Avonite Carrara White gloss-finish worktops and Avonite Koko White matt-finish floors, and enjoy the comfort of underfloor heating. The Milan VIII interior fabrics harmonise with quartz white leather upholstery in the saloon to complete the refined scheme.

On deck, a tender garage accommodates a RIB or tender up to 3.25 metres and is served by a Williams tender launch system in place of the standard system, noting that the standard system is suitable for tenders up to 150 kg including engine. A Scandinavian pulpit with a recessed forward opening leads to a bow platform with boarding ladder, while teak enriches the side decks and foredeck. The ground tackle is upgraded with a 20 kg stainless steel anchor and a 50 m stainless steel anchor chain in place of the standard 40 m galvanised forward anchor chain, with a chain counter for the forward anchor winch, and an aft anchor winch complete with remote control, leaded line and a stainless steel anchor. Charging sockets in the garage support a Williams tender charger European version and an electric inflator.

Electrical and utility features include Continental 220V/240V sockets to Scandinavian specification, a freshwater outlet on the foredeck, a drawer-type dishwasher in the galley suitable for six place settings, an electric barbecue in the cockpit wetbar, a cockpit ice maker, and dimmer control for saloon overhead lighting, together with two LUMISHORE SMX52 blue underwater transom lights. Power at anchor is provided by an ONAN 7 kW, 50 Hz generator with a Hydrohush exhaust system as standard.

Entertainment is thoughtfully curated: in the saloon, a 28-inch LED TV pairs with the upgraded Fusion MS-AV750i radio/DVD/MP3 player with Bluetooth replacing the standard radio/iPod/MP3 system, while the mid cabin features a 32-inch LED TV and a Fusion MS-AV750i radio/DVD/MP3 player with Bluetooth. A Fusion MS-NRX300 fixed remote control in the cockpit connects to the saloon stereo and cockpit speakers for easy command outdoors.

Navigation and situational awareness are comprehensive, with two Raymarine i70 colour multifunction displays for speed, log, trip, depth, water temperature and more, an autopilot with rate gyro compass, a Raymarine eS165 chartplotter with external GPS antenna and a 15.4-inch colour display, and a Raymarine HD colour radar with a 24-inch, 4 kW radome antenna, with European charts installed in the chartplotter, and a Raymarine 260 VHF completing the suite.

Comfort in all conditions is enhanced by a windscreen demisting system that uses air heated via the hot-water system, Eberspächer M10 Hydronic diesel heating with outlets in all cabins and bathrooms, and a dedicated heating outlet in the cockpit. Practicality continues with electric holding tank discharge for the toilets.

Exterior upholstery and covers deliver both style and endurance, with foredeck sunbed cushions in Movida Met featuring a contrasting colour to the raised sections and upgraded to reticulated foam in place of standard foam, a white cover for the foredeck sunbed, and cockpit cushions in Movida Met with contrasting inserts and stitching, likewise upgraded to reticulated foam in all standard exterior cockpit cushions. A full-height cockpit canopy with a stainless steel frame in grey Sunbrella replaces the standard canopy; its side panels can be removed to leave only the sunshade roof, and it provides full standing headroom aft, extending to the sofa.

Finishing touches include Princess tableware in a five-piece setting—dinner plate, side plate, bowl, coffee cup and saucer—for six people, David Mellor “Paris” cutlery in a six-piece setting for six people, and Princess glassware comprising six wine glasses and six drinking glasses.
