Anticipated Debut of Princess F58 Boats at Düsseldorf Event
Princess F58 Debuts at Boot Düsseldorf, Offering Enhanced Living Spaces and Outdoor Features
The highly anticipated Princess F58 made its world debut at the Boot Düsseldorf boat show, promising to outshine its predecessor, the F55.
This new addition to the Princess lineup offers significant enhancements in space and features, ensuring an elevated boating experience for its passengers. Measuring 1ft 8in longer and 1in wider than the F55, the F58 provides increased interior room, particularly on the main deck, where a dining area opposite the aft galley is a notable improvement.
The exterior is replete with enticing features, most notably a beach club stern outfitted with a folding aft bench, a dedicated Seabob garage, an oversized hydraulic platform, and a transom-mounted barbecue. This focus on outdoor living is further emphasized by the versatile foredeck lounge, complete with twin sunpads, a small drinks fridge, adjustable headrests, and transformable backrests that convert into bench seats.
The expansive flybridge maintains the layout of larger models in the range, boasting an optional hard top, a central helm position, convertible seating to starboard, and a comprehensive aft wet bar. The interior, however, is where the extra space is most likely to be felt.
The lower deck remains consistent with the F55 layout, offering three cabins and two heads, but with a noteworthy distinction. The owner's cabin features an ensuite bathroom and a walk-in wardrobe positioned behind the bed, enhancing both luxury and insulation from engine noise.
For environmentally conscious yachters, the Princess F58 will also be the first sub-80ft Princess to offer a silent running option, utilizing a lithium-ion battery pack and inverter instead of a generator.
Propulsion remains faithful to powerful MAN V8 engines. These are expected to deliver an impressive claimed top speed of around 35 knots, an uncommon feat for a boat of this size.
Detailed specifications for the Princess F55 were not available, making a direct comparison challenging. However, the F58 certainly showcases more space and potentially more sophisticated features compared to the F55, while maintaining the elegance, luxury, and performance that Princess Yachts are renowned for.
