⁠The Real Cost of Owning a Princess V62 S - Full Breakdown & Tour

Step aboard a 2014 Princess V62 S finished in sleek grey gelcoat, and park up next to a 2010 V62 for a proper side-by-side where we can see the key differences. Aboard the V62 S, we take in that huge sociable cockpit with sunpad over the tender garage—classic V/Targa/S-series vibes. We’re filming at sunny Essex Marina and giving you the full works: tour, review, and the numbers you always ask for.  Up top you’ll find a bright saloon with tasteful “facelift” touches, twin helm seats, updated screens and those satisfyingly retro CAT controls. Visibility through the screen is superb, and there are proportional thrusters plus opening side windows for easy docking. Below, the layout is spot on for cruising: dinette opposite a well-equipped galley, a full-beam owner’s cabin with ensuite, a generous VIP forward, and a twin that converts to a double - plus a (very) compact crew berth best used for storage. Shaft-drive CAT C18 ACERTs deliver proper sea-keeping and up to ~37 knots, so grin factor is guaranteed.  We also break down real-world ownership: finance examples, mooring, servicing, insurance, and a fuel burn estimate (around 400 L/h at 25 knots; diesel noted at £1.55/L in Oct–Nov 2025). Expect ~£31k on fuel for ~50 hours, fixed costs around the £40k mark, and we discuss depreciation on a well-specced, C-Tech-lifted example listed just under £1M. Then we score it: accommodation, style, fun (spoilers, it's 10/10!), running costs and quality.
