Princess 56

Boat Overview

The Princess 56 is a compact yacht measuring less than 60 feet. It features an open flybridge with two J-shaped seating areas: one around a table for dining and another near the upper helm station. The aft main deck has a dinette that leads into a spacious interior salon with large windows. A second dinette on the portside faces an open galley, separated from the helm station by a low divider. A central staircase provides access to three cabins: a full-beam master suite amidships, a double-berth VIP cabin in the bow, and a twin cabin in between. Additionally, there is a crew cabin located aft of the engine room. The bathing platform can be equipped with an optional mechanism for raising and lowering it into the water for easier tender operations. The standard twin CAT C12A engines allow the Princess 56 to reach top speeds of 29 knots.

Manufacturer Provided Description

From the moment you step aboard her teak decking, luxurious space is a constant companion. The vast flybridge enjoys a convertible sunbed, twin helm seats, a wetbar, barbecue, and ergonomic dining areas. This oasis of calm can then be propelled up to a top speed of 34 knots, and all with nimble composure. Magnificent refinement and performance in equal measure.

The main deck helm position provides exceptionally comfortable cruising. The well-equipped galley is located just aft of the helm with a sociable dining area adjacent. Below deck, full-standing headroom adds to the spacious ambience throughout the three cabins and full beam master stateroom, affording your guests with the luxury of space for their time on board.
