The Princess C48 Has Arrived

The all-new Princess C48 has officially launched, and it’s unlike anything you’ve seen from Princess Yachts. She is set to make her highly anticipated U.S. debut at FLIBS 2026.

As the first model in the bold new C Class, the C48 brings a fresh, athletic attitude to the water. Designed for those who go all out from sun-up to splashdown, this yacht delivers next-level freedom, performance, and style — wrapped in the unmistakable luxury of Princess craftsmanship.

Elegance. Accelerated.

The Princess C48 Open combines sleek walkaround design with aggressive lines and contemporary elegance. Inspired by the dynamic presence of the Princess Y Class and V Class, the C48 turns heads while offering the kind of open, social layout that invites all-day adventure.

For the first time ever, Princess introduces outboard power — with triple Mercury Verado V12 600hp engines delivering powerful performance, impressive efficiency, and the fastest top-end speed in the Princess fleet. A newly patented stepped hull, designed by Michael Peters, ensures optimized hydrodynamics and a smooth, responsive ride.

Designed for Life on the Water

The full-beam cockpit maximizes every inch for social connection and versatility. A large sunpad, convertible dining and seating area, exterior galley, and seamless water access make entertaining effortless. Below deck, the C48 features an open salon, day head, and aft cabin as standard — with optional layouts that include a forward stateroom and lower galley to tailor the yacht to your lifestyle.

The C48 also offers a range of cutting-edge optional features, including a Seakeeper SK6, SeaKeeper Ride system, dual 19” Garmin multifunction displays, a 43” cockpit TV, upgraded AV packages, and electrically powered deck-level balconies that extend your experience to the water.

Prefer inboards? A twin Volvo D6-480 I/O configuration is also available in place of the Mercury outboards.

A New Era of Day Yachting Begins

The Princess C48 represents a major milestone in the evolution of luxury day boating. Sporty, luxurious, and entirely new — it’s made for those who demand more from every moment on the water.
