Princess Yachts C48 Open
About this yacht
The Princess Yachts C48 Open redefines what it means to connect with the water. This 14.91-meter powerboat strips away barriers between you and the ocean, delivering an open-air experience that puts the thrill of coastal cruising front and center. As Princess Yachts' first outboard-powered model, the C48 Open achieves speeds that set it apart in the day cruiser segment while maintaining the refined craftsmanship the British shipyard is known for. Built around Michael Peters' patented SVVT hull—a design recognized globally for efficiency and performance—this motor yacht channels air beneath the running surface to reduce drag and generate lift. The result is a vessel that delivers exceptional speed, improved fuel economy, and a remarkably smooth ride across varying sea conditions. The full-length open main deck flows seamlessly from bow to stern, sheltered by a practical hardtop. The cockpit balances social versatility with functional design: an aft sunpad for lounging, forward-facing seating with table for entertaining, and manually operated drop-down seats along both sides that adapt to your needs. The exterior galley spans forward and aft wet bars, equipped with an electric grill, drawer refrigerator, sink, and generous storage—everything required for extended days on the water. Triple helm seats command the driving position, while the foredeck offers additional seating configurations both forward and aft. Below deck, the standard arrangement includes a convertible dinette in the lower saloon, a lobby with storage and optional freezer, a day head, and an aft cabin. For owners seeking customization, Princess offers alternatives including a lower galley or forward cabin in place of the saloon—allowing the interior to match individual preferences. The C48 Open accommodates up to 12 guests, making it equally suited to family outings, entertaining friends, or solo adventures where performance and open-air freedom take priority. This is a powerboat designed for those who measure their days on the water not just in nautical miles, but in pure exhilaration.
