Princess F54

The F54 is the newest thinking in the F Class, a 16.26 metre flybridge yacht with a reworked upper deck, a walkaround transom and a bathing platform sized for a jet tender. Twin Volvo options let an owner tune performance to their cruising. It brings fresh layout ideas to the popular middle of the range.

The latest addition to the F Class

The F54 is the most recently developed flybridge in the range, drawn to update the heart of the F Class with new deck and layout ideas. At 16.26 metres it sits close to the F50 and F58 in size but introduces features neither older boat carries. A redesigned flybridge, a walkaround-style transom and a linear bathing platform mark it out from its stablemates. Production is set to begin from 2027, making it the freshest F Class an owner can order. It carries three guest cabins below and the option of aft crew accommodation for those who want help aboard.

The F54 keeps the practical, contemporary character that defines the class, then sharpens it with a cleaner, more modern deck plan. Its clever use of space aims to make life aboard effortless, from the galley to the transom. The boat is pitched at families and owners who cruise regularly and want the newest thinking without moving up a size. It slots into the busiest part of the F Class order book. Buyers weighing the F50 against the F58 now have a fresh option between them.

A reworked flybridge and clever transom

The flybridge is the F54's headline. It gains companion seating with a sunpad conversion, a dining area with a folding teak table, and an aft unit that can be specified with a wet bar, coolbox, grill and sink. A fully equipped helm sits forward with a clear view over the bow, and an optional hardtop provides shade over the whole deck. The result is an upper deck that works equally well for driving and for a long lunch at anchor. It is the social centre of the boat on a fine day.

At water level the walkaround-style transom and a linear bathing platform capable of carrying a Williams TurboJet 285 tender make launching toys and swimming easy. The redesigned foredeck adds a sunpad with adjustable headrests, forward-facing seating and an optional removable table for morning coffee away from the crowd. Long windows and clean lines give the F54 a modern, planted look that reads well from the dock. Deck stowage keeps the toys tidy. Every deck is set up for real time at anchor.

A reworked flybridge, a walkaround transom and a jet-tender platform make the F54 the freshest F Class.

Flexible accommodation below

Below decks the F54 offers three guest cabins, arranged around a full-beam owner's stateroom with an ensuite and the calmest motion aboard. A forward double and an improved twin cabin take family and guests, and an aft crew cabin can be added for owners who want help on longer trips. The saloon and cabins draw plenty of daylight through large windows, keeping the interior bright. The galley supports proper cooking for a full party. It is a layout that adapts to how an owner actually cruises.

Interiors follow the current F Class look of light timbers, soft upholstery and quality detailing. Stowage is worked through the layout for a tidy week away, from hanging space to galley lockers. The saloon opens to the cockpit for easy indoor-outdoor flow when the weather allows. The improved twin cabin makes the boat more useful for families with children. Space is handled with the care buyers expect of the marque.

Engines tuned to the owner

The F54 can be specified with twin Volvo Penta D13-900 engines at 900 hp each, or the lighter D11-725 pairing at 725 hp each. That choice lets an owner tune performance and economy to their cruising style and their home waters. The hull is set up for composed, comfortable running at a fast cruise. Handling stays secure through a seaway, so coastal legs pass in comfort. The two options give the boat a useful spread of character depending on how it is ordered.

A 2,100 litre fuel tank gives useful range for coastal cruising and longer passages between anchorages. The engine options keep servicing familiar and access straightforward for daily checks. The powertrain is matched to the relaxed, family character of the boat. Both packages settle quickly when the throttles come back. The F54 covers ground in comfort and settles just as easily at anchor.

Who the F54 is for

The F54 suits the owner who wants the newest flybridge thinking in an easily handled hull. Families gain a flexible upper deck, a jet-tender platform and three cabins for real holidays aboard. The optional crew cabin appeals to owners who want occasional help on longer trips without moving to a much bigger boat. It rewards those who value fresh layout ideas and a boat built for the water toys of today.

It also draws buyers choosing between the F50 and F58 who want the latest features and the most current deck plan. The F54 keeps handling and berthing within reach of a confident couple. Its walkaround transom and tender platform make active days on the water simple to organise. For the owner who wants the most current F Class, it is the one to specify.

Who it is for: The family owner who wants the newest F Class thinking, with a flexible flybridge, a jet-tender platform and the option of crew, in an easily run hull.
