Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Princess Yachts 49 2018 vs Princess Yachts R35 2019 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Princess Yachts 49 2018 vs Princess Yachts R35 2019 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 540 hp, the Princess Yachts 49 2018 has a 110-hp advantage over the Princess Yachts R35 2019's 430-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Princess Yachts 49 2018 carries 245 gallons versus 158 gallons in the Princess Yachts R35 2019. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Princess Yachts 49 2018 is rated for 15 passengers, while the Princess Yachts R35 2019 caps at 10. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Princess Yachts 49 2018 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princess Yachts 49 2018 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 15 passengers and at 51,1 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Princess Yachts R35 2019 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 10 that costs less to run day-to-day.
