Used Princess C48 Yacht For Sale

The fruit of a five-year collaboration with acclaimed naval architect Michael Peters, longtime collaborator Olesinski Design, and the brand’s North American dealers, whose input has been crucial for fine-tuning the boat to the US market, the C48 is a boat of superlatives: it is not simply Princess’s first foray into the luxury center console market, it is also the fastest boat the brand has ever constructed, the first to feature a state-of-the-art Michael Peters Stepped-Vee Ventilated Tunnel (SVVT) hull, and the first model to offer both inboard and outboard engines. Available as either an Open or enclosed Deck Saloon model with inboard or outboard power options, the C48 has been tailored to suit the needs of any buyer looking for a stylishly sporty dayboat with overnight potential.

Users can expect an unbounded connection to the elements and smooth-as-silk handling on each version of this yacht. The deep walkaround deck offers unfettered, 360-degree mobility – go where you want, when you want – while an innovative terrace system on the aft deck increases on-deck space and further enhances contact with the water. Two terrace options include standard half-height fold-out wings, or upgraded full-height sections which sit flush with the aft deck when in use. Both options transform the aft cockpit into an expanded, idyllic waterfront living area. With inboard engines, space is freed up for a generous swim platform, adding to beach club feel. Out on the bow, guests can socialize across aft and forward seating.

On the C48 Open, these terraces are centered around a large sunpad with folding seats to port and starboard. Sheltered by a hardtop, forward- and aft-facing sofas surround a high-low table and together comprise a serene dinette, which is serviced by two outdoor galleys, one aft and one forward, each of which include an electric grill, drawer refrigerator, a sink and plentiful storage. The Deck Saloon layout is slightly different, with an L-shaped dining area to port and an interior galley positioned just aft of the starboard helm.

A starboard helm features three seats around a robust console. While the exact layout and configuration of the helmstation will be revealed at the boat’s launch, the main difference between the Open and the Deck Saloon is the position of the captain’s chair, which is placed in the center and to starboard, respectively. On the outboard configurations of this boat, owners can choose between triple Mercury V10 400HP or V12 600HP Verado engines that will top out at 44-46 knots and 51-53 knots each. Those who prefer inboards can opt for a twinset of Volvo D6-480s, which will rev up to 33-35 knots max. With its 620-gallon fuel capacity and advanced SVVT hull technology that reduces drag and increases fuel efficiency, the C48 offers exceptional range across all power options.

The lower deck boasts a large saloon with a refreshing, contemporary feel. Unobtrusive recessed ceiling lighting provides a warm but subtle glow, while hull windows offer superb views of the water and sunshine streams in from the skylight. The C48 Open features a lobby with storage and an optional

fridge-freezer for any perishables not stored in the upper galleys. Keen entertainers can upgrade this space to include a full galley or a forward cabin to accommodate even more guests. The C48 Saloon Deck’s main-deck galley frees up enough space below deck to fit two double cabins here as standard. Both versions of this yacht feature a lavish amidships owner’s suite with a double bed to port and a plush sofa to starboard which is big enough to bunk an extra person in a pinch. Two side windows with opening portholes span the length of the cabin, while pale wood cabinetry compliments the white upholstery and grey accents that characterize the interior spaces throughout the boat. To starboard, a generous head with a separate shower and a window to the sea is accessed from the saloon.
