Princess V50 Open (Gen 1, 2018 - 2021) Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the planing hull of the V50 Open delivers speeds of up to 32 knots. Some may even choose their yacht based upon features such as: class-leading interior luxury and space, sporty open style is perfect for mediterranean living, large cockpit area below the hardtop sunroof, impressive use of glass throughout interior and strong performance from ips pod drives.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Princess V50 Open offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 6 guests with its 3 cabin layout option. Most of its rivals, including the Fairline Targa 48 GT and Fairline Targa 48 Open, share the same 6 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The V50 Open benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a sofa is a standout. The Galeon 485 HTS and Sessa Marine C48, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 4 guests in 2 cabins, still offer an exceptional level of comfort for short trips and overnight getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Princess V50 Open delivers a steady 27 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Windy Boats W46 with an impressive cruising speed of 31 knots. The Princess V50 Open emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed, catering to a different set of priorities. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Beneteau Yachts 50, with the slowest cruising speed of 19 knots, emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and enjoying the journey over the destination.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Princess V50 impresses with its extensive range of 545 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Galeon 485 HTS allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Windy Boats W46 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 40 knots and cruising speed of 31 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Princess V50 Open stands out with notable features and design elements. These yachts cater to a wide range of preferences and needs, making the choice a matter of personal taste and specific requirements in the world of luxury yachting.
