About
The Open layout is designed for all-day outdoor life. A hardtop and wraparound windscreen give protection, while the cockpit stays wide open with an aft sunpad, forward-facing seating around a table, and folding side seats. Twin wet bars with grill, fridge, and sink keep the space practical, and the foredeck offers more seating arranged for lounging or dining. At the helm, three seats provide a commanding view ahead.
Below, the arrangement starts with a convertible saloon, aft cabin, and day head. Owners can configure the space with either a forward cabin or a lower galley, depending on how they plan to use the boat.
Performance comes from twin Volvo D6-480 inboard diesels, delivering a top speed of 32-34 knots. While not as fast as the outboard version, the IB option offers efficient cruising and the benefit of a hydraulic swim platform for easy water access. Buyers exploring Princess C48 Open IB for sale will find a model that keeps the open-deck focus of the C48 while pairing it with practical inboard power for longer-range use. For those who prefer a more enclosed setup, the Princess C48 IB Deck Saloon provides a sister version with sliding doors and a more protected interior.
