"Princess V58" actually covers two different boats. Princess launched the V58 in 2006, and the name has since passed to the F58, the current-generation successor built to a different specification. Any listing calling itself a Princess 58 needs pinning down to one generation before price or parts questions make sense. Confirm which name the seller is actually using before comparing prices, since a broker's headline listing is not always precise about which generation is inside.
What both generations share is a distinctly British take on flybridge entertaining: a large, hook-shaped sofa seating up to eight on the flybridge itself, plus a dining unit with an outdoor barbecue and ice-maker that converts to a bar once the canvas comes down.
Princess is one of the top five brands actually seen in Egypt's Red Sea brokerage listings, and the brand also has a dealer presence in South Africa through Boating World and similar outlets, a genuinely sourceable model on both coasts rather than a boat you would need to import speculatively.
Who a Princess V58 suits in Africa
This suits a buyer who wants flybridge entertaining space as the main draw, guests on the flybridge sofa, a barbecue and bar setup, rather than long-range passage-making. Egypt's Red Sea resorts and South Africa's coastal dealer network are the two clearest fits in this dataset, both places where the Princess name already circulates through established brokers. Abu Tig Marina in El Gouna, the Red Sea's first purpose-built yacht marina, added lift capacity to 30m and 250 tonnes in 2009, comfortably covering haul-out for a boat this size.
At the same budget, a flybridge worth viewing alongside it is the Azimut 55 for an Italian-styled alternative with deeper Red Sea brokerage data, or the Sunseeker Portofino 53 for a sportier hardtop layout.

Princess V58 price in 2026
Pricing here is a genuinely thin, indicative band rather than a deep market snapshot, verify against the specific hull before relying on it. Used V58s from the 2004 to 2008 build years have listed around $439,000 to $460,000, which we widen slightly to a $400,000 to $520,000 working range to allow for condition and specification differences between individual hulls. Princess is a well-known brand globally, but the V58 itself is an older, out-of-production design, which is exactly why comparable listings are scarce enough to flag as indicative rather than definitive.
The current F58 is priced on application through Princess dealers, and no public new-build figure was found in our research, so there is no fresh-boat number to benchmark a used V58 against. Given how thin the comparable data is, lean harder on the survey and on recent transaction evidence from a broker than on any published asking-price range, including ours.
An older V58 needs a careful survey. Send the listing and we flag the risks.

These are estimates: confirm specifics with a local yacht manager before budgeting. The flybridge's open, social layout, a large sundeck and wet bar rather than an enclosed saloon, means a bigger air-conditioning and generator load in hot African climates than an equivalent enclosed-saloon design of similar length.
Factor that into any Red Sea or West African running-cost estimate rather than assuming parity with a more enclosed flybridge competitor. Confirm generator sizing specifically: a flybridge this size run hard at anchor in Red Sea summer heat draws more than the same layout would in a cooler climate.
What the survey must check
Given the age of most used stock, a Princess V58 survey should confirm:
- Pull engine and genset hours with full service records.
- Check teak deck condition and ask about any resurfacing history.
- Inspect flybridge upholstery for sun damage, a real issue under intense African sun exposure.
- Run a stabilizer system function check.
- Commission a full hull survey given the age of most used V58 stock, 2004 to 2008 hulls.
- Confirm which generation, V58 or F58, the specific hull is, since parts and service support differ between them.
