Princess C48 – A Defining Entry into the Centre-Console Market

The Princess C48 marks a bold new chapter for Princess Yachts. The C48 is the company’s first-ever centre-console yacht and its first introduction of outboard-powered models. Designed for freedom, performance, and lifestyle, this yacht redefines what buyers can expect from the luxury centre-console market.

A Collaboration of Design Icons

The C48 is the result of a unique alliance between three of the marine industry’s most respected names:

Michael Peters – acclaimed naval architect and creator of the patented SVVT hull, ensuring speed, stability, and efficiency.
Bernard Olesinski Limited (BOL) – Princess’ long-standing partner for exterior architecture.
Princess Design Studio – led by Andy Lawrence, delivering refined styling and interior elegance.

Together, they have created a yacht that blends cutting-edge hydrodynamics with striking design and a luxurious onboard experience.

Performance That Excites

At the heart of the C48 is Michael Peters’ patented Stepped Vee Ventilated Tunnel (SVVT) hull. Recognized worldwide for its efficiency and smooth ride, the SVVT hull reduces drag, enhances stability in turns, and improves fuel economy—so you can go further, faster, with complete confidence.

Engine options include:

Triple Mercury V10 400hp Verado – 44–46 knots
Triple Mercury V12 600hp Verado – 52–54 knots
Twin Volvo D6-480 inboard diesels – 32–34 knots
