Princess Yachts C48

SUMMARY

Princess has introduced an entirely new C-Class range, and the first model, the C48, lands with a clear brief: blend luxury center-console energy with Princess craftsmanship and comfort. It’s a compact, premium day-to-weekender that’s as happy blasting across open water as it is hosting sunset dinners behind glass. And yes, it looks every inch a Princess.

There is also a Princess C48 Open Deck Version.

 

C48 QUICK HITS

  • Top speed: up to 53 knots (manufacturer figure).
  • Length: 48' 9"
  • Berths: 4 on the lower deck (forward and aft cabins with lobby and day head).
  • Propulsion: inboard or outboard options—your choice, depending on how you run.

 

VIDEO INTRODUCTION

 

WHAT MAKES THE PRINCESS C48 DIFFERENT?

SVVT hull by Michael Peters

At the heart of the C48 is Michael Peters’ patented SVVT (Surface Velocity Ventilated Tunnel) hull. In simple terms, it channels air beneath the running surface to create lift, reduce drag, and boost both speed and efficiency. That’s a big reason the boat posts such a striking top-end number while promising a more composed, comfortable ride. It will be difficult for any other sport cruiser in this class to match the time to plane, the stability, efficiency, and smoothness of the C48.

 

Two Personalities: Open Thrills or Enclosed Deck Salon Calmness

Princess offers the C48 in both an Open and Enclosed Deck Salon version. The Deck Salon trades full exposure for climate-controlled comfort and year-round usability: a fully enclosed salon with lounge and galley, triple-sliding patio doors, and an optional sliding roof that turns the interior into a breezy, seamless inside-outside space. With inboard engines, you can add an up/down hydraulic platform for easier water access and tender handling.

 

Social Spaces The Belong On Much Larger Yachts

The cockpit dining and foredeck seating areas are set up for dayboating with friends; drop the anchor and it’s a party platform. Below, the two-cabin layout supports overnights and long weekends, delivering a genuine small-yacht experience when the day runs long.

 

Princess Connect, Standard

Every new Princess ships with Princess Connect—factory-fit telemetry that lets you monitor the boat remotely, keep maintenance on schedule, and access a digital library of manuals and support info. It’s peace of mind, baked in.
