Inside the 100th Princess V55: Why This Sets the Standard?! | YachtBuyer POV Tour & Review

Jack Haines takes you on a full YachtBuyer tour of the Princess V55, a 17.81m (58ft 5in) twin shaft-drive sportsboat in the middle of the Princess Yachts V Class range. If you’d like to look around freely as the tour unfolds, the full 360° interactive version is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jM8qdbkqcM0 . In this video, Jack walks through the full layout, from stern to helm to engine room, breaking down the key numbers along the way: twin Volvo Penta D13 engines in 900hp or 1000hp options, around 35 knots at the top end, and a platform designed squarely for the owner-operator market. On deck, the V55 has a hydraulic bathing platform rated to 450kg (992lb) and lifts to reveal a tender garage sized for a 3.45m Williams, while the large aft sunpad links directly into the cockpit via an integrated forward-facing bench. The cockpit sits under the hardtop overhang with glazing down both sides for protection, and it can be fully enclosed for all-weather cruising. An L-shaped seating area wraps around a folding teak table, and the starboard wet bar combines grill, refrigeration and systems access, with the option of an aft docking station for those who want additional control. Inside, the single-level main deck creates a strong link between cockpit and saloon thanks to the drop-down patio door and opening galley window. The galley sits to starboard with under-counter refrigeration, induction cooking and optional cooling upgrades, while the dining table converts between coffee and dining modes. Forward, the helm features twin seats, clear sightlines and a clean dash layout, with joystick control available alongside the conventional shaft-drive setup. Below deck, this luxury yacht offers three cabins centred around a full-beam amidships owner’s suite with large hull windows, private ensuite and generous storage. The forward VIP benefits from ensuite access to the day head, and the twin bunk cabin works well for children or occasional guests. A combined washer-dryer adds practicality for longer trips. For buyers considering a 55ft performance yacht that balances mid-30-knot pace, real accommodation and straightforward shaft-drive ownership, the Princess V55 remains a compelling option within the Princess yachts range.
