2001 Princess V65

The 2001 Princess V65 is a 65-foot sport yacht built for owners who want fast passage-making with real overnight comfort. Hull number Takia pairs twin MAN 1300 HP diesels, a 30-knot cruise, and a 38-knot top end with four staterooms and three heads. For a buyer comparing used sport yachts for sale in Florida, this V65 offers a rare mix of Princess build quality, a 2021 refit, and practical charter-ready spaces.
 

This Princess V65 suits an owner who wants a fast Florida day boat that can also host overnight guests without feeling cramped. The four-cabin layout works for family cruising, weekend trips to the Bahamas, or light charter use where guests expect separate bathrooms and a proper galley. A buyer stepping up from a 50-foot express cruiser will appreciate the extra beam, crew berth, and garage storage for toys.
 

Is the 2001 Princess V65 for Sale?

Yes, this 2001 Princess V65, Takia, is currently offered for sale through its listing broker. The yacht is located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and is being actively marketed to buyers who want fast passage-making with real overnight comfort. Because the 2021 refit helps protect resale value and this V65 offers a rare mix of Princess build quality and practical charter-ready spaces, availability of a comparable example in similar condition may be limited.
 

For buyers, availability is less important than the condition of the specific boat. Engine hours, MAN service records, generator history, water maker condition, hull condition, and the 2021 refit documentation should all be reviewed. A well-maintained example with documented service can have a very different ownership profile from another V65 that has deferred maintenance.
 

2001 Princess V65 Price

The asking price for this 2001 Princess V65 should be confirmed directly with the listing broker, as pricing for sport yachts varies with condition, equipment, and documented service history. The 2021 refit helps protect resale value, and this V65 offers a rare mix of Princess build quality, a 2021 refit, and practical charter-ready spaces, which supports the boat's market position. Asking prices are subject to change and should not be treated as confirmed transaction values.
 

The purchase price is only part of the budget for a 65-foot sport yacht. Running a 65-foot sport yacht with twin 1300 HP MAN engines means fuel and maintenance are the two costs that matter most. At a 30-knot cruise, plan for significant diesel burn over long weekends, and budget for annual MAN service, generator upkeep, and insurance. The 960-gallon fuel capacity keeps range usable for Florida and Bahamas runs. Buyers should also account for a pre-purchase mechanical survey, sea trial, haul-out, and general upkeep.
 

Performance and Propulsion

This Princess V65 is powered by twin MAN D2842 LE404 1300 HP diesels with roughly 1,550 engine hours, delivering a 30-knot cruise and 38-knot top speed from a proven deep-V sport yacht hull. The MAN D2842 LE404 is a high-performance marine diesel known for strong power output and reliable operation, and the twin installation gives this 65-foot sport yacht the speed for fast passage-making.
 

The proven deep-V sport yacht hull provides stable tracking, and the 960-gallon fuel capacity keeps range usable for Florida and Bahamas runs. Actual speed and fuel consumption depend on load, sea conditions, propeller condition, and hull maintenance, so a sea trial should be used to verify the performance of the individual yacht. At a 30-knot cruise, plan for significant diesel burn over long weekends.

What to Check Before Buying a 2001 Princess V65

If you want a used Princess V65 for sale that can cruise tomorrow, Takia deserves a serious look, but the engine hours and 2001 build year mean you should negotiate after a full survey and sea trial. The survey should cover the hull and deck, stringers, bulkheads, running gear, shafts, propellers, rudders, through-hulls, fuel tanks, steering system, electrical equipment, air-conditioning, water maker, generator, plumbing, and bilge systems. The enclosable bridge and cockpit, retractable sunroof, garages, deck hardware, and railings should also be tested.
 

The twin MAN D2842 LE404 1300 HP diesels should be inspected individually, including the roughly 1,550 engine hours, service records, diagnostic reports, cooling systems, turbochargers, exhaust components, transmissions, shafts, and propellers. Buyers should also test the ONAN 17.5 KW generator, water maker, navigation electronics, autopilot, VHF radios, refrigeration, pumps, air-conditioning, and other onboard systems. Ask for MAN service records, generator history, and water maker condition.
