The Princess V42 establishes a new class standard with an evolution of design that delivers unprecedented luxury, thrilling performance, and spacious accommodations in an extremely capable and versatile family cruiser.

Ingenious design features abound aboard the V42 beginning with a sensible tender storage solution where a garage is cleverly concealed under a large sunpad on the main deck. A press of a button opens the electro-hydraulic door and a winch and roller system expedites tender launch and retrieval. Forward, the hardtop is painstakingly engineered to incorporate a sliding electric sunroof while its design seamlessly blends with the yacht’s striking profile. Entertaining space is maximized on the main deck with a large settee to starboard complemented by a lounge seat forward and a centrally located wet bar equipped with built in refrigerator, sink, and electric grill. Dual helm seats are designed for comfort and support on long voyages and are positioned for optimum visibility and access to the yacht’s navigation equipment and controls.

Enhanced by a design that optimizes natural light and an open feel, the salon is an inviting retreat. A settee to port is ideally suited for dining or relaxing in casual conversation. The adjacent entertainment system is equipped with an LCD TV, DVD player, and stereo. The galley is convenient to both the salon and main deck and incorporates a microwave oven, cooktop, refrigerator/freezer, and abundant storage. Forward of the salon, the master stateroom is exquisitely finished in contemporary style and features a walkaround berth and en suite head for maximum privacy. The guest stateroom aft is equally inviting with twin single berths, a privately accessed head, and plenty of storage. Additional guests are easily accommodated in the salon with the convertible settee.

With dynamic styling and innovative design, the V42 represents a new benchmark in a performance yacht created for comfort, luxury, and unmatched sea keeping ability.
