2007 saw the launch of the new landmark flagship yacht in late spring - the Princess 95 MY, which is the company's largest project to date.

With the launch of three all-new models in the first half of the year, along with plans to further expand their Plymouth-based manufacturing facilities, 2007 was an important year for Princess.

This month we review the all-new Princess 62.

New Princess 62
The new Princess 62 combines high performance with spacious accommodation and dynamic good looks.

This latest deep V hull has been developed with a generous beam so as to allow a good sized galley to be located on the main deck in conjunction with a separate dining area and a large and comfortable aft saloon with its own entertainment centre.

This allows the lower deck accommodation to be designed on the same principles as much larger boats with a full beam owner's cabin, a VIP suite forward, and two further guest cabins as well as a laundry centre. An aft crew cabin may also be specified if required.

The wide beam also means plenty of room in the aft cockpit and on the flybridge with large seating areas, a separate sunbed, and a wet bar with barbecue.

The hull design has been carefully configured to combine outstanding seaworthiness with high speeds so as to allow extended fast cruising whilst retaining simple and straightforward handling characteristics which are further enhanced through power assisted steering, electronic engine controls and a powerful bow thruster for easy maneuvering.

Beautifully fitted and with dynamically elegant looks, the Princess 62 sets a new standard.

Key Points
1. The lower accommodation consists of a full beam owner's stateroom featuring large vertical portlights, a VIP guest cabin forward, a twin berth (side-by-side) guest cabin to starboard and a further twin guest cabin to port which can alternatively be specified as a study.

2. The fully equipped galley sits opposite a large u-shaped dining area to port. Generous seating on both sides of the saloon takes full advantage of the wide beam and is complemented by a state-of-the art entertainment centre including a pop up LCD TV, Radio/DVD and surround sound system.
