A Dynamic Evolution in Luxury Sports Yachts

Cannes, September 2025 – Princess Yachts, Britain’s largest luxury yacht builder, proudly presents the all-new Princess V65, the latest addition to its iconic V Class range, making her global premiere at the 2025 Cannes Yachting Festival. Designed for owners who demand both performance and luxury, the V65 embodies the essence of the modern sports yacht: sleek styling, exhilarating handling, spacious comfort and intuitive technology.

A POWERFUL NEW EXPRESSION OF THE V CLASS

The Princess V Class has long been synonymous with athleticism, luxury and a seamless connection to the sea. The new V65 advances this legacy with its sculpted exterior, long flowing lines and bold silhouette, all concealing an impressively generous interior volume.

Princess’ next-generation deep-V hull, precision-engineered using lightweight resin-infused composite construction, delivers more space without compromising performance. Powered by twin MAN V12-1400 engines, the V65 achieves top speeds up to 36 knots and a cruising range of 550 nautical miles.

With the largest fuel capacity in its class, this yacht offers the confidence for longer voyages. Exceptional sea-keeping and a variable-geometry hull ensure a composed, agile experience whether cruising the Riviera or crossing open waters. Stabilisation options include gyro and vector fin systems, plus variable-speed bow and stern thrusters for effortless handling.

SOPHISTICATED INTERIOR FOR RELAXED LIVING

The V65’s main deck spans approximately 26 sq. m and is designed as a sociable, open space. Aft, a fully equipped galley – complete with full-height fridge-freezer and slim dishwasher – connects directly to the cockpit via a hinged window and bar top for effortless al-fresco dining. Adjacent sits a dedicated dinette with folding table.

Forward, the main saloon features a large U-shaped sofa with coffee table to port, complemented by an additional sofa and sideboard to starboard. A 55-inch rise-and-fall television anchors the space for cinematic evenings on board.

The helm station pairs twin adjustable seats bearing the Princess crown logo with a multifunction navigation display. Opposite, an L-shaped companion sofa gives guests a forward-facing view under way. Owners can also specify a sleek sliding roof over the forward saloon to create a natural indoor-outdoor connection.

Below deck, four beautifully appointed cabins accommodate up to eight guests. The full-beam owner’s stateroom aft includes a private ensuite, walk-in wardrobe, dressing area and 50-inch TV. The forward VIP cabin features a large double bed and dressing table. To starboard, a flexible twin cabin converts to a double, while to port a guest cabin can be specified as a single or bunk-bed layout. An optional dedicated crew cabin with single or bunk beds is accessible through the transom.

THOUGHTFUL DECK SPACES AND VERSATILE ENTERTAINING

The foredeck is configured as a luxurious retreat with twin sunpads, an aft-facing bench and optional coffee table – perfect for quiet moments with panoramic views. Full walk-around side decks ensure safe, easy movement.

Aft, the cockpit offers a spacious U-shaped seating area surrounding a teak dining table with optional extended servery. Beneath, the garage accommodates a Williams SportJet 345 and SEABOBs, launched via an electro-hydraulic door and tender system. A teak-finished electro-hydraulic bathing platform makes water access effortless and extends the yacht’s outdoor living capabilities.

INTELLIGENT CONNECTIVITY AND CONTROL

As with all Princess models, the V65 is equipped with Princess Connect, the brand’s advanced telemetry and maintenance system. This factory-installed technology links the yacht to its owner, dealer and the Princess shipyard for real-time GPS tracking, engine diagnostics, tank levels, temperature monitoring and bilge alarms – all accessible via the Princess Connect mobile platform. Owners also enjoy access to maintenance schedules, manuals and remote monitoring for complete peace of mind.

Additional systems include a powerful ONAN 11kW generator (upgrade options available), comprehensive navigation equipment and a high-quality Fusion audio system with the option to upgrade to a premium Naim sound experience.
