Verdict
The 2015 Princess V60 is a well-built sports yacht with strong build quality, a practical three-cabin layout, and good cruising performance. It is not a large-volume 60-footer, but it offers solid comfort, modern equipment, and the refinement expected from Princess.
Pros
- +Strong Princess build quality and finish
- +Three-cabin layout suits family cruising
- +Comfortable interior with air conditioning and Wi‑Fi
- +Autopilot and GPS support easy passage making

Cons
- −Verified layout is 3 cabins, not 6
- −Length is closer to 61'1" than 60 ft
- −Accommodation is limited for larger charter groups
- −Not the most spacious boat in its class
- −Fuel burn will be meaningful at speed
The Princess V60 is a sleek sports cruiser with the clean exterior styling and upscale interior detailing associated with the brand. For a 2015 example, the layout is confirmed as three cabins with six berths and four bathrooms, which makes it more suitable for private family use than high-density charter work. The verified specification also points to a two-crew arrangement and a relatively refined onboard setup.
On the water, the V60 is designed to deliver confident planing performance rather than pure displacement comfort. With twin 900 hp engines reported in the verified listing, it should offer strong acceleration and capable cruising speeds, while the autopilot and GPS add practical value for longer passages. Handling should be predictable and responsive for an experienced skipper, though fuel use rises quickly when driven hard.
Comfort and livability are strong points for this size class. Air conditioning and Wi‑Fi improve day-to-day onboard life, and the three-cabin arrangement gives the yacht a more realistic private-ownership profile than the original user input suggested. The main trade-off is space: this is a premium 60-foot sports yacht, but it is still more compact than some rivals.
In value terms, the V60 stands out most for quality, brand reputation, and a balanced mix of performance and cruising comfort. It is best judged as a well-finished, capable motor yacht for owners who prioritize styling and build quality over maximum interior volume.
