Vessel Walkthrough
The Princess 56 is one of the most popular Princess models ever built. She features a sleek sophisticated exterior profile and uncompromising performance. With the optional CAT C-12 diesels, this vessel comfortably cruises at a brisk 24-26 kts. and tops out close to 30. The exterior cockpit and Hydraulic swim platform feature, beautiful teak decking, and the expansive flybridge has comfortable seating for up to 10 guests, plus refrigeration and a wet bar/grill. Inside the salon, the owners and guests are treated to an exquisitely finished designer inspired interior featuring fine fabrics, tasteful accents, and satin finished walnut timber. The entire salon and galley area is surrounded by incredible views thru her oversize 360 degree panoramic windows. Her lower controls are expertly designed for form and function while guaranteeing comfort. Below decks you'll find a full beam master stateroom fit for a King & Queen, with private head, a centerline queen bed,VIP stateroom forward, and a third stateroom to starboard with side by side single beds. All of these staterooms are tastefully decorated with designer bedding, pillows, and fabrics as would be expected in a boat of this caliber and quality. "FRIENDS" also has a single berth crew quarters accessed thru the aft of the boat. It is equipped with its own air conditioning system, head/shower combo, and window aft.
Manufacturer Provided Description
The new Princess 56 perfectly combines a spacious and exquisitely finished interior with an exhilarating performance and is destined to become the new benchmark for her class.
Out on deck, the expansive cockpit features a teak dining table and generous U-shaped seating. Teak-laid steps either side of the transom lead to the bathing platform which can be optionally fitted with a raise/lower mechanism to ensure easy stowage, launch and recovery of a tender.
For panoramic views, dining can also be enjoyed on the spacious flybridge where further seating surrounds a second alfresco dining table. Twin helm seats are complemented by a versatile ‘L’ shaped companion seat to starboard which can be easily converted into a sun bed.
As with all Princess craft, the interior is crisp and contemporary and finished to the highest quality to create an interior ambience of a much larger vessel. The beautifully styled main saloon is bright and airy with large wrap around windows providing panoramic views. The open-plan arrangement features a U-shaped sofa and coffee table, with additional seating to port and a separate raised dining area forward, opposite the well equipped galley, ensuring a highly sociable layout.
The lower accommodation comprises of three beautifully appointed cabins including a full beam master stateroom and a spacious forward guest cabin, both with generous en-suites. The latest resin infusion technology allows for a less intrusive stiffening structure, increasing the space available for accommodation below decks, whilst a new single pane hull window offers unrivalled views when away from port. An optional aft cabin is available with its own WC, incorporating a single bed for crew or occasional guests.
