Meet the non-fly motor yacht causing waves at the Cannes Yachting Festival: the Princess V65, the newest flagship of the V Class sportscruisers range, combining speed with luxury.

A breathtaking spectacle awaits at the Cannes Yachting Festival, where the Princess V65, the undisputed pride of the V Class range of sportscruisers, roars onto the grand stage. This is no ordinary yacht. As the largest non-fly motor yacht in the Princess fleet, the V65 is specially designed for exceptional speed and comfort.

In a thrilling fusion of technology and design, the V65’s deep-vee hull, designed by Olesinski, ensures greater lift and reduced drag. Together with twin MAN V12-1400 engines, the V65 commands an exhilarating top speed of around 36 knots as well as impressive handling agility. This sportscruiser, however, is about more than just blistering speed: It’s a masterclass in versatile luxury.

The yacht blends the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living. A large galley extends from the saloon into the cockpit, allowing you to mingle effortlessly between the two spaces. An option for additional seating within the sheltered corner of the superstructure and a ‘floating’ island sunbed lend themselves beautifully to an outdoor party deck.

Below deck, there are four appointed cabins and three bathrooms, including an ensuite VIP bow cabin and a full-beam owner’s suite. Extra storage, plush armchairs, and a crosswise bathroom assure luxury and privacy. Convenient options like a single cabin tucked beneath the aft sunbed cater to additional guests or staff.

Simply put, anyone lucky enough to step on board this sportscruiser at the Cannes Yachting Festival will encounter an astonishing blend of speed and luxury that truly sets the Princess V65 apart from the fleet.
