Palm Beach Boat Show: Princess announces F58 flybridge

UK yacht manufacturer Princess Yachts has revealed details of the new Princess F58 at the Palm Beach International Boat Show, which concluded on 24 March 2024 in Florida.

The first F58 will go into production later this year and make its global debut in early 2025.

The 18.2-metre Princess F58 is the latest addition to the yard’s F-Class flybridge series, sitting between the F55 and the series flagship, the F65.

Onboard, the flybridge helm is situated centrally and the design offers a second companion seat for guests or crew while underway. The flybridge has a dining area, and a wet bar with electric barbecue situated aft.

The seating to starboard can convert to a sunpad. The yacht also retains the flexible foredeck ‘terrace’, a feature borrowed from larger Princess models.

The cockpit connects to the saloon and galley to create a sociable space and leads down to the bathing platform and mini ‘beach club’ transom area, which offers options of storage for water toys or waterside barbecue with sink and a fold-down transom seat.

Inside, the saloon has panoramic windows and a U-shaped sofa with convertible dining table and sofa adjacent. The galley is situated aft of the saloon and links the cockpit and interior dining spaces.

On the lower deck are three cabins including a spacious forward VIP guest cabin, a twin to starboard, which can be converted into a double, and a full-beam owner’s stateroom featuring a breakfast area, ensuite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe. An optional single aft crew cabin with ensuite and storage completes the accommodation.

The yacht will reach speeds of up to 34 knots, according to preliminary figures.

Princess also debuted the Princess X95 Vista as part of its lineup at the Palm Beach International Boat Show 2024, along with the show debut of the Y95, the flagship of the Y Class series.
