Performance and Safety

Underlying the elegant looks of a Princess are pioneering advances in hull design and construction to achieve higher speeds in safety and comfort, even in the most challenging seas.

The modified deep V hull incorporates propeller tunnels for improved propulsive efficiency and forward thrust, while also reducing draft. The hydrodynamic effect of these tunnels keeps the boat more horizontal under acceleration, for an almost imperceptible transition from displacement to planing speeds - offering better visibility and control. Composite construction delivers those extra few knots and provides superior economy for extended cruising range, while careful consideration of every safety feature ensures maximum security and comfort.

Hull lines are developed with advanced computer modelling using the latest CAD technology, and are further refined over many thousands of hours of testing in some of the toughest waters in the world.

Moulded spray rails roll water away to keep the boat dryer at higher speeds and to reduce frictional resistance, while a revolutionary curved chine and optimal deadrise at the transom ensure a softer ride and assured, stable tracking in all sea conditions.

A Princess is designed to be responsive and easy to handle, whether running at speed or within the confines of a busy marina. Electronic engine controls and, where necessary, power-assisted steering and a powerful bow thruster, enable manoeuvring to be undertaken with absolute precision.

Raised bulwarks, extended stainless steel safety rails, moulded non-slip surfaces and teak decking ensure secure navigation around the boat, whilst toughened safety glass and clear forward screens optimise night vision and give you the confidence to fully explore the boat's cruising potential and discover new destinations.
