Owner Experience Review
Owners and reviewers consistently frame the V50fromPRINCESSas a weekending sports-cruiser that fits family coastal cruising and Mediterranean day trips, with some examples used for private, owner-run day charters. It’s frequently described as “a really nice boat,” with praise for finishes, large windows, and the deck-saloon layout. Later generations are noted for more saloon light, sliding/opening roof options, and refined helm ergonomics, while forum voices still call it a competent, volumous and popular package.
On the water, reported cruise sits around 23–28 knots, with about 25 knots often cited as the sensible sweet spot; top speeds commonly land near 32–34 knots, depending on engine and drive. IPS/joystick variants draw praise for manoeuvrability and close-quarters control, while shaft/V-drive boats trade a different feel for mechanical simplicity.
Ownership feedback highlights spec and maintenance choices. Forum posters note V-drives are not “like pods” in upkeep—essentially an extra oil change at service and no noticeable added noise—and caution that early 610‑series engines are seen as less desirable versus later 700/D12 options, which can influence running and resale. Early layouts tend to pair a strong bow cabin with a smaller, lower-ceiling mid/twin cabin, with later updates improving below-deck headroom and layouts. As with many V‑class boats, brokers flag higher long-term maintenance exposure around hydraulics and modern electronics, making full service records important.
Pros and Cons
- Versatile weekender used for family coastal cruising, Mediterranean day trips, and even owner-run day charters.
- Confident performance with an easy 23–28-knot cruise (around 25 knots sensible) and circa 32–34-knot top end depending on engines.
- IPS/joystick variants are praised for close-quarters control, while shaft/V-drive boats offer simpler mechanics with essentially an extra oil change at service.
- Early layouts have a smaller, lower-ceiling mid/twin cabin, improved only in later generations.
- Engine choice affects desirability and resale, with 610-series seen as underpowered versus later 700/D12 options.
- V-class systems can carry higher long-term maintenance and engineering costs, so thorough records matter.
