The new-for-2025 Princess F58 has made its first appearance at Boot Düsseldorf 2025 - a big moment for Princess Yachts in its 60th year. This latest addition to the Flybridge range steps up to replace the outgoing F55 with a fresh look on the outside and a new interior layout.
Priced at $3,780,000 ex VAT (correct as of January 2025) and now with a host of fresh features plus a little extra size all around, let's see if it's ready to set a new benchmark in its class - aiming for more space, better comfort, and loads of flexibility. Read on to find out.
The F58 is the result of a collaboration between Princess Design Studio, Pininfarina, and Olesinski Design, and joins the Princess F-Class series - the backbone of the Princess range. The exterior spaces were a special focus for the designers who really wanted to encourage people to get together outdoors.
Therefore, the vast flybridge, the focal point on the F58, was configured to maximise space for guests and to provide a large dining area served by a fully equipped wet bar and an electric barbecue. The saloon opens out to the cockpit and down onto the bathing platform. This space, with extra seating and optional grill, creates a mini beach club right next to the water.
The main difference between this model and the F55, which it’s set to replace, is the placement of the dinette. On the F58, the dinette is positioned opposite the galley, while on the F55, it was located further forward, with seating in aft instead. Having the table directly opposite the galley feels like a more practical and logical layout, keeping it close to where the food is prepared.
Below deck, the F58 has three cabins and two bathrooms. A VIP guest cabin is forward while the twin cabin is to starboard and can become a double if needed thanks to sliding berths. The full-beam owner's cabin is amidships and has a full-beam split between an ensuite bathroom and a walk-in wardrobe. Finish choices include a standard Rovere oak satin finish, with options for Silver oak, Ash satin, or Walnut in both satin and gloss.
The dinette sits opposite the galley, and having the table close to where the food is prepared just makes sense. The manual pop-up window beside it is a great feature, allowing easy connection to the cockpit. Drinks and snacks can be lined up here, making it simple to serve both indoor and outdoor guests. The table also doubles in size, so you can host bigger parties to dine indoors.
The galley itself is nicely arranged. The slightly raised section provides headroom for the cabins on the deck below, while the return counter adds a good amount of usable workspace. Domestic-sized appliances include a good-sized fridge, a freezer, an induction hob with overhead extraction, and a reasonably sized dishwasher so you don't have to do the dishes.
A few steps up from the galley lead to a lounge area, which is separated from the dining space. The wraparound seating provides plenty of room, and the TV pops up from a counter at the back. Beneath this counter is an ice maker, and it doubles as a bar area; drawers include cooling space, bottle storage, and fiddled glass shelf, all on soft-close runners. This is a lovely saloon area and the huge windows on either side give plenty of natural light.
Owner's Cabin
Another big change from the F55 is the layout of the owner's cabin. On that model, the bathroom was on the starboard side as you entered. Here, they’ve gone for a more luxurious, big-yacht feel, moving the walk-in wardrobe and bathroom behind the bed.
On the port side, there’s excellent clothes storage. You’ve got a single wardrobe and a large double wardrobe that auto-illuminates when opened. Storage continues with an array of drawers, and there’s a bureau with a mirror. The island berth is easy to walk around as there are no obstructions over head or at foot level.
On the starboard side, there’s a sofa for a spot to sit and relax without having to sit on the bed. You could swap it out for extra storage, but with all the existing storage, it’s nice to have somewhere comfortable to sit while enjoying the views through the huge hull windows.
Behind the bed is the bathroom. While it’s not full beam due to splitting the beam with the wardrobe space, it’s still a good size, and features a separate shower-cubicle. Positioning the bathroom and wardrobe behind the bed is a clever move as it adds an extra layer of insulation from the engine room, which sits just through the aft bulkhead.
VIP Cabin
The VIP cabin, located right forward in the bow, is the primary guest space and it feels quite spacious and private. There’s no skylight, but there is an escape hatch, and the hull windows are generously sized, letting in a decent amount of light.
Storage is good, with eye-level cupboards and a large hanging locker on the starboard side. There’s also additional storage under the bed, giving the VIP guests a bit more space than the storage in the twin cabin. A TV is also mounted above.
This cabin is ensuite to the day head, which can be accessed through a door leading to the lobby. For privacy, guests can lock this door at night, effectively turning the bathroom into a private ensuite. The headroom is good throughout, and the bathroom features a separate shower cubicle with a sizeable hull window.
Starboard Twin Cabin
There’s enough headroom to move comfortably between the beds, and above, there’s easy access to the underside of the helm. Instead of fiddling with loose ceiling panels, the hinged access will make it straightforward to get to the electronics.
For storage, there's a decent-sized wardrobe and additional cupboards, making it easy for guests to store clothes, but there’s not a lot of room for larger luggage.
One of the highlights is the flexible bed setup. With the press of a button (a cost option), the two single beds slide together to create a double in around 20 seconds. So it can accommodate a couple or squabbling children who need separate beds.
Crew Accommodation
On a boat of this size, you might question whether you need crew, but in some markets, having a crew cabin is an absolute must. And they’ve done a pretty good job with this one. The entrance is quite discrete, but it opens up nicely so it doesn’t feel like you’re descending into a cramped cave and the steps feel very solid.
Once in, admittedly, it’s not massive, but they’ve made the most of the space available. The headroom does open up, providing a spot where you can stand comfortably. It’s a bit snug overall, but that’s to be expected on a 60-foot boat.
The crew cabin is optional, as you could leave it as a large lined-out storage area, or opt to keep just the bathroom. That’s quite a handy setup - guests could use the bathroom during the day, especially after a swim, saving the main interiors from wet clothes and dripping water.
If you do choose the full crew setup, you get two bunks, a wardrobe, and a separate bathroom .
Flybridge Helm
The skipper sits centrally which really gives a fantastic all-round view. The navigator is to the side, with enough space for them to get out between the seats without disturbing the skipper when we’re underway.
Everything at the helm is in easy reach - the wheel, throttles, optional joystick, and screens are all close, so it's very ergonomic. The dash material already has a few hairline scratches, and there’s a fair bit of dark colouring used, but the overall look is tidy and smart. The silver effect they’ve added to the upper dash is very nice. There’s storage on either side, but the most important feature here is the excellent visibility, which keeps you feeling connected to the boat.
The engine options have been kept straightforward, with MAN 1,000hp or 1,200hp engines delivering a top speed of around 35 knots and an estimated range of 300nm at a cruising speed of 25 knots with the latter.
The joystick, an optional feature, operates much like IPS but uses the shafts and thrusters instead of pods. You twist to spin the boat and push or pull for movement. Separate controls for the bow and stern thrusters make manoeuvring at slow speeds straightforward.
Lower Helm
At first glance, the standing position at the lower helm might seem a bit tight, especially for someone 6ft tall. However, it’s surprisingly comfortable, with plenty of headroom and a nice forward position that provides an excellent view over the bow. It's well laid out with the throttles sitting perfectly to hand and the joystick just behind them, along with the trim tab controls. The screens are also positioned close, so there’s no awkward reaching. All the main controls are right where you’d want them.
The helm seat is a comfortable sitting position that slides forward to let the skipper get close to the controls. It’s also sturdy enough for leaning back on when preferred. Meanwhile, the navigator’s position outside the helm ensures they can come and go freely without disturbing the skipper.
There’s no side door on this boat, which feels like a bit of a missed opportunity. However, the electric skipper’s window makes up for it to some extent. It provides great ventilation and lets the skipper easily communicate with the crew during mooring. With a one-touch operation, it’s simple to open and close, making it a practical, if not perfect, alternative to a side door.
While not entirely new to the industry, Princess has done a good job with the implementation of a digital switching system. The helm features a central screen that consolidates key boat systems, including AC and DC power, fuel and water levels, and lighting controls. It’s an intuitive setup that simplifies what can often be a maze of switches. The lighting controls, in particular, are very easy to use, all grouped together in one place. There’s also an app that allows you to manage these systems remotely from your phone.
It's worth mentioning here that there's an option for a third helm station in the cockpit. It’s a nice addition, especially for Mediterranean cruising, where you’re likely mooring stern-to. This docking station doesn’t have joystick control, but it includes both throttles and bow and stern thrusters. Crucially, it provides an excellent view over the bathing platform for precise manoeuvring. When not in use, it folds away neatly into the cockpit.
The transom is the scene of a lot of the innovation with the F58's deck spaces. As standard it's a moulded unit but as an option you can add a flip-down bench and clever Seabob storage, which slides out on a cassette with access to a charging socket. As standard, the hatch above is just for storage but you can add a sink and a grill to create a water-level wet-bar. A hydraulic bathing platform takes care of tender launching duties.
Princess has designed this space to offer a bit of shade as well. Sockets along the edge of the bathing platform are for poles to support a canopy connected to the overhang. This whole area has been designed to encourage living at the waterline and provides the beach club lifestyle that has become so popular these days.
The cockpit is accessible via symmetrical stairways on either side. These are generously wide, leading into the main cockpit, which feels nicely protected by the overhang. What’s great is that it’s not just plain fibreglass overhead - there’s some thoughtful panelling and lighting here that give it a welcoming, almost interior-like feel. You can fully enclose this area with covers if needed.
The table sits centrally, leaving space on one side to add directors' chairs if you want extra seating. The backrests extend all the way around, so even those seated at the ends can relax and dine comfortably. Plus, the table folds up to save space if you prefer a more open layout.
Side Decks & Foredeck
Boarding gates on both sidedecks are handy when you're alongside high quays, saving you from having to get down to the bathing platform. Moving forward, the mooring gear is nice and chunky, with winches that make tightening lines in the Mediterranean easy. The built-in fairleads are a thoughtful touch.
The symmetrical decks on this model feel safe and secure, thanks to its high guardrails. Really like the styling lines along the exterior - they’ve been part of the design for a while, and they do a great job of brightening things up a bit. Railings are well-positioned, with an additional set for extra support as you move forward. There’s a small step halfway along that takes you up to the foredeck.
The foredeck layout feels familiar for a yacht of this size. There’s a bench running beneath the windscreen - no table, just a comfortable place to sit. The sun pads nearby are perfect for relaxing, with adjustable backrests that let you sit upright and face forward if you prefer. Between the sun pads, a storage void comes as standard, but on this yacht, it’s been upgraded to a cooler - a great addition for keeping drinks chilled up here without needing to head back to the galley.
The foredeck is completely flat, which makes it easy to move around. The railings, even where they bow out slightly, all remain within easy reach. At the bow, there’s a single anchor setup, along with cleats and fairleads. The split anchor lockers are split - one side offers deep storage for the chain, while the other is a shallower space for items like the washdown hose. Both lockers have proper drainage, and the winches can be manually operated for the windlass.
Flybridge
The main focal point of the flybridge is the dining table on the starboard side. It's mounted on a pedestal, allowing you to adjust the height. You can set it up and fold it out for dining or lower it to coffee table height.
A notable improvement on the F58 is the repositioned wet bar. It’s now integrated into the aft end rather than sitting behind the helm seats; it fits in very well in the new location. It’s equipped with a sink that has a chopping board under the cover, some storage, and a deep drawer fridge for nice cold beers. They’ve even tucked in a small bin - so you don't need to have a bin bag flapping around.
As standard, the flybridge comes with a bimini, but many will likely opt for the hardtop. It’s a great addition, and there’s an optional bimini that extends to provide shade for the dining area - something you’ll appreciate on sunny days. The hardtop also includes a canvas sunroof, which is a nice optional extra.
There’s plenty of storage up here, with the option to convert one area into another cooler, making it easy to keep drinks and food chilled. On the starboard side, there’s a seating area with a clever feature we’ve seen on other Princess models - the base slides out, so it becomes an additional sunbathing space.
Access is through a generously sized hatch located in the cockpit. A ladder leads straight down into what is a surprisingly large, well-laid-out space. The headroom is impressive - not quite full standing, but certainly enough to move around comfortably.
The engines themselves are MAN 1,000hp or 1,200hp units, and let’s be honest, most buyers are going to go for the bigger engines. The 1,200s offer a nice balance of power and efficiency, which should make this a strong performer on the water. The fuel filters are mounted on one side and it’s a little tight outboard of the V8s, but overall, it’s a decent setup. There’s also plenty of insulation in here, so it’s likely to be a quiet ride. We’ll know for sure after the sea trial.
Everything is well-organised. The major components are arranged logically, with plenty of space around them. The Seakeeper 18 is on one side (there is an option to have a smaller Seakeeper) and the generator is located on the other instead of being stacked on top of one another. That kind of arrangement can be a nightmare when it comes to servicing, but here, it appears to have been made as painless as possible.
Our Verdict
Princess has delivered an impressive 180 F55s, making it one of their most successful models in recent years. The move to the F58 is more evolution than revolution, which is very much in keeping with the Princess philosophy - they’re not known for being too radical, it's not their way.
That said, there are plenty of subtle changes throughout, from tweaks to the exterior styling to rethought layouts on both the main and lower decks. It’s the kind of refinement that edges them forward in this sector, building and building on an already strong foundation.
The final word will come after a proper sea trial, which we hope to do later this year.

Rivals to Consider
When it comes to cruising performance, the Fairline Squadron 58 stands out with its speed credentials. Propelled by twin 900hp Volvo Penta D13-900 engines, it boasts an impressive cruising speed of 25 knots, matching the Princess F58's top speed.
The Princess F55 is very much on par with the Princess F58 but it could be worth a look. The 58 has just that bit more length, beam and draft and also a bit more speed, but the costs will be higher.
The Azimut Fly 60 impresses with its extensive range of 779 nautical miles, setting it apart for those who enjoy lengthy voyages without frequent refuelling stops. Although the Princess F58 might not rival this range, it offers comfort and practicality, making it a great partner for family holidays.
For enthusiasts focusing on shallow drafts, the Astondoa As5, Greenline 58 Fly, and Galeon 560 Fly are worth considering. These yachts navigate waters that deeper vessels, like the Princess F58, cannot access. While the F58 doesn’t compete in this niche, its versatility and comfortable boating experience remain incredibly appealing.
Pearl Yachts 62 deserves a mention if you have an eye on a fast cruising speed of 30 knots. At 25 knots the Princess F58 might not match this pace, it still has a healthy balance of performance stats.
