The Cannes Yachting Festival will host the world premiere of the Princess V65, the largest non-fly motor yacht in the Princess fleet.

There’s an undeniable thrill in the air as the Cannes Yachting Festival draws near, and this year, part of the excitement is due to the eagerly anticipated world premier of the Princess V65, the largest non-fly motor yacht in the Princess fleet.

The new flagship of the V Class range of sportscruisers offers far more than just an impressive title. With an Olesinski deep-vee hull specially designed to provide greater lift, reduced drag, easy low-speed plane and improved running efficiency, the V65 promises an exhilarating ride. Paired with twin MAN V12-1400 engines, the yacht is estimated to deliver a top speed around 36 knots, coupled with commendable handling agility.

Onboard, it’s evident that the Princess V65 offers a perfect balance of indoor and outdoor living. Functions such as its port bar that extends the galley into the cockpit and the option of a sheltered corner seat in the outdoor party deck maximise the boat’s potential for entertaining.

Beneath deck, the standard layout offers four cabins and three bathrooms. One can enjoy luxury in the ensuite VIP bow cabin, the full-beam owner’s suite, or the additional port bunk room and starboard twin. The caravan of amenities does not end here; there’s even an optional extra single cabin tucked away on the starboard side for the additional guest or a skipper.

In short, the Princess V65 is far more than just a sleek sportscruiser; it’s a symbol that cruising can be both thrilling and lavishly comfortable. Cannes Yachting Festival looks set to drop the curtain on one memorable debut.
