SHARE
The British builder is planning a 2025 release for the F58, the second-largest model in its F Class series of flybridge motor yachts.
Princess Yachts is developing the F58, which will make its debut early 2025 and is the first sub-80ft Princess model to offer the option of sustainable, silent running and hotel services with batteries.
The F58 is the second-largest model in the British builder’s F Class of flybridge motor yachts, which includes the F45, F50, F55 and is led by the F65. Propulsion options for the F58 include two 1,000hp or 1,200hp MAN V8 engines, with the latter delivering speeds of up to 34 knots.
The flybridge – which has the option of a hard top – has an aft L-shaped wet bar with electric barbecue beside a large C-shaped dinette to starboard. Forward is a smaller C-shaped seating area that can convert to a sunpad, while the twin-seat helm station is to port.
The foredeck has a wide sofa forward facing two symmetrical sunpads, each with a storage locker or optional cool box as well as an adjustable headrest that also transforms into a backrest for aft-facing seating.
Aft is a bathing platform, while options for the transom include a fold-down sofa that doubles as a door for a storage area for water toys. On top of the transom, aft of the cockpit sofa, is the option of a flip-up waterside barbecue with sink.
The cockpit has a relatively conventional set-up, with a forward-facing C-shaped sofa and a table, and doors that slide to starboard to open access to the interior, which is surrounded by panoramic windows.
The interior starts with a four-sided galley to port, fully open to the cockpit due to a flip-up window. To starboard is an L-shaped sofa and a flexible dining table. Forward is the raised saloon, which has a large C-shaped sofa to port and a convertible coffee/dining table, while opposite is a long, half-height counter.
Accessed by a forward staircase, the lower deck features three guest cabins including a full-beam owner’s midships stateroom, which features a breakfast area to port. Aft of the forward-facing bed is an ensuite bathroom to port and a walk-in wardrobe to starboard.
The spacious VIP guest cabin is in the bow and shares the day head with a twin to starboard, which can be converted into a third double. Owners can also choose the option of a single aft crew cabin with en-suite bathroom.
