The Princess V57 is a boat that makes a day out feel easy from the moment you step aboard. Seventeen metres of clean, confident design, she carries the quiet assurance that the Princess name has built over the years, elegant above the water and thoughtfully arranged across her decks. She suits both the short outing and the longer coastal run, and reads either with the same composure. The cockpit and foredeck give a group room to spread out, to lounge in the sun and gather for a drink as the afternoon settles, while three cabins below offer a comfortable retreat when the light softens or a place to stay aboard overnight. Up to eleven guests share the day, looked after by a single crew member who keeps everything running quietly in the background. With a top speed of around thirty-five knots she has the pace to reach a favourite anchorage without the day slipping away, then settle into stillness once the anchor drops. There is easy access to the water for a swim, and snorkelling gear is aboard for the clear water below. What defines her is balance, a boat comfortable at speed and comfortable at rest, refined without ever feeling formal. She flatters a day out without asking much in return, which is exactly what most days on the water call for. Sometimes the best plan is simply to head out and see where the coast leads. The Princess V57 is happy to follow.
