DESCRIPTION:
The Princess V65 is a sleek and luxurious sports yacht that combines impressive performance with top-notch design and craftsmanship. With its streamlined hull and modern lines, this boat is striking both on the water and docked. The strong international brand of Princess and its popularity in Norway add to its value, making it a reliable investment.
STANDARD FEATURES:
Includes all the amenities expected of a yacht in this class, such as a spacious cockpit with seating area and sun loungers, a well-appointed salon with luxurious furniture and high-quality materials, new reupholstered cushions, and a high-tech navigation system with autopilot and radar. Additionally, the yacht includes practical extras like a dishwasher and a washer/dryer. The side windows and sunroof are electrically operated from the helm. The Recaro pilot seats provide exceptional comfort.
Onboard are four electric vacuum toilets. A remote-controlled hydraulic gangway at the stern ensures easy disembarking. The tender can be placed on the swim platform or in a dedicated garage with a winch.
The yacht is meticulously maintained with a high-quality finish throughout. The teak on the deck and swim platform shows wear and could benefit from an upgrade. The engines are well-maintained, and the yacht was serviced in August 2024, including zinc replacements, polishing, and new antifouling. There are no grounding or other structural damages.
LAYOUT:
The Princess V65 boasts a smart and functional layout, ideal for both relaxation and entertainment. The open cockpit and salon create a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces, while the comfortable cabins and luxurious bathrooms provide a private and relaxing environment for guests. The large full-beam master cabin is both beautiful and functional, referred to as "World?s Best" by the owner. The layout includes three guest cabins and one crew cabin, providing great flexibility for family and friends.
One significant advantage of this layout is the sliding door leading into the salon, which can be closed without requiring the canopy, keeping warmth inside. The practical hydraulic swim platform can be lowered and raised, making it easy to launch the tender and creating a cozy breakfast or lunch spot for up to six people.
SEA HANDLING:
With its powerful engines and advanced hull design, the Princess V65 offers impressive performance and excellent seaworthiness. The boat is stable and responsive in all conditions, providing a smooth and comfortable ride even at high speeds. It planes easily and cruises comfortably at 22?25 knots, with a top speed of approximately 38 knots. The twin engines and remote-controlled thrusters at the bow and stern make it easy to handle.
ENGINE AND EQUIPMENT:
Equipped with 2 MAN V12-1360 CRM engines, totaling 2,720 HP, connected via shaft drives. This setup provides impressive acceleration and a top speed of around 38 knots. When operating below approximately 1,000 RPM, the engines run on 6 cylinders, significantly reducing fuel consumption.
The yacht also features a 22.5 kW Onan diesel generator for power when anchored. Benefits of shaft drives include:
- Lower service costs.
