The gap between a sports boat and a family boat is usually a cabin. The Princess V58 closes it: a published 36-knot top end from twin Volvo D13-800s, and a legitimate three-cabin, two-head layout underneath — not a two-cabin boat pretending to sleep six.
Who This Boat Is For
The V58 is for the owner-operator who wants fast weekends without crew or compromise — a couple or family whose boating is measured in miles covered and nights aboard, and who refuses to choose between the two. At 4'2" of draft it keeps thin water open, and at 45,200 pounds it is a manageable, honest 60-footer.
The Layout
Three cabins led by a full-beam master amidships, with two heads serving them. The deck plan keeps the sports-yacht DNA — a sociable cockpit, a bright salon, a helm the owner actually wants to occupy — while the accommodation below does family duty without apology.
Performance
Sixteen hundred combined horsepower moves the V58 to a published maximum of 36 knots, from 581 gallons of fuel. The deep-V hull with its fine entry balances offshore capability against planing efficiency, and it shows in mixed conditions where softer-riding competitors start slamming or slowing. Princess quotes maximum speeds rather than cruise tables, so build your own numbers at sea trial: hold your intended pace, log observed burn, plan from that.
Against the Alternatives
The V55 is the outgoing take on the same brief; the V65 adds the fourth cabin and the sliding roof. Within the family the V58 is the sweet spot for owners who need exactly three cabins and prefer their speed with modern systems behind it.
Where to Start
Run it in real water — the fine-entry hull is the reason to pick this boat, and calm-day sea trials hide it. Then put the family in the three cabins and confirm the boat sleeps the way it drives.
