When comparing the Princess V58 vs Azimut 58 Marbella, you are weighing two premium yachts that turn heads in Puerto Banús. The Princess V58 (18.4m, 12 pax) is known for its sporty V-hull and top speed of 33 knots. The Azimut 58 Flybridge (17.6m, 12 pax) offers a flybridge deck, panoramic views, and a cruising speed of 30 knots. Both are excellent for exploring the Costa del Sol, but which one suits your Marbella charter best? This guide compares speed, space, charter value, and local cruising experience.
Size and Layout
The Princess V58 measures 18.4m and features an enclosed saloon with a lower helm station, plus a spacious aft deck. The Azimut 58 Flybridge is 17.6m long but adds a flybridge—an upper deck with seating, a sunpad, and a wet bar. This makes the Azimut better for groups who want to sunbathe or socialise outdoors. Below deck, both offer three cabins and two heads, but the Azimut’s flybridge gives it a clear advantage for daytime charters along the Marbella coast.
Speed and Performance
The Princess V58 is slightly faster, reaching 33 knots, while the Azimut 58 cruises at 30 knots. In real-world Marbella conditions—where you’ll cruise past the Golden Mile or anchor at Cala Cortés—the difference is negligible. Both yachts handle the Mediterranean swell smoothly. The Azimut’s flybridge provides a better vantage point for spotting dolphins near Cabopino.

Best for Groups and Events
For a birthday or corporate outing, the Azimut 58’s flybridge offers a dedicated sunbathing area and social space. The Princess V58 feels more intimate and sporty, better for a couple or small family. Both can anchor at Cala del Faro for swimming, but the Azimut’s upper deck makes it easier to keep an eye on the group. The Azimut 58 also has a larger cockpit for boarding from the tender.
Cost Comparison
Charter rates for the Azimut 58 are competitive for a flybridge yacht of this size. The Princess V58, often newer or less common, may command a premium. With the Azimut, you get all-inclusive pricing: skipper, fuel, soft drinks, beer, wine, cava, snacks, insurance, and VAT. No extra fees for ice or towels. For a full-day charter from Puerto Banús to Estepona or Sotogrande, the Azimut 58 delivers excellent value.
