Yahoo News Luxurious new Princess Yachts models set to stun boat show
Plymouth’s luxury boat-builder Princess Yachts is to display four stunning vessels at the prestigious British Motor Yacht Show. The Stonehouse-headquartered manufacturer will be a key exhibitor at the event, in Southampton, next week.
The company will be showing off the award-winning Princess 80, the sporty Princess S72, the “dynamic” V50 Deck Saloon and the “sociable” Princess F45. A Princess Yachts spokesperson said: “ The friendly and knowledgeable Princess Motor Yacht Sales team will be on hand to discuss new yachts, pre-loved brokerage yachts, service and retrofit, shared ownership and charter.”
Last year Princess Yachts was taken over by major American private equity firm KPS Capital Partners in a deal which was designed to accelerate the company’s growth and innovation. Existing shareholders retained ownership in the company under the deal.

The British Motor Yacht Show is the UK’s home-grown boutique event, originally born of the companies Princess, Fairline and Sunseeker, and now a key event in the boat show calendar. It is set on the upper reaches of the River Hamble at Premier Marinas’ recently renovated Swanwick Marina, and takes place between Thursday, May 16, and Sunday, May 19. The vessels on display are:
Princess X80
The “sensational” Princess X80 mini superyacht won a Motor Boat Award in the Custom Yachts category, held by Motor Boat & Yachting magazine in January. The Princess X80 is the sister ship to the Princess X95 and the second member of the X Class Superfly family.
The boat’s main deck encased the saloon, galley and forward dining area. Below deck, eight guests are accommodated across four en-suite cabins, a full beam owner’s stateroom located amidships, a forward guest stateroom, a double guest to starboard and a twin cabin to port. Located aft of the main accommodation is the crew quarters which can accommodate three people.
Princess S72
The S72 is equipped with twin MAN V12 engines at 1,650 or 1,800 horsepower and a resin-infused deep-V hull, and can travel at speeds of up to 36 knots. The cockpit features a U-shaped seating area with modular seating, folding teak table and servery unit. The cockpit bar connects to the galley, the saloon has a large L-shaped dining area opposite
the fully equipped galley, leading to a cavernous main deck saloon with U-shaped sofa, Princess Design Studio coffee table, and an elegant sideboard unit containing a 55-inch UHD LED TV on rise and fall, plus companion seating with fold-out table opposite the main helm.
Below deck, eight guests sleep in four en-suite cabins, with a further twin cabin aft for occasional guests or crew. A dedicated staircase leads from the main deck to the full-beam owner’s stateroom amidships, via a private lobby area in the lower companion way.
Princess V50 (Deck Saloon)
The “dynamic and adventurous” all-new Princess V50 is fitted with advanced technology for impeccable handling and seakeeping. Reaching speeds up to 31 knots, she provides “a true on-water adrenalin rush”.
Her extended cockpit provides exceptional outdoor living space and below deck, a bright, modern open galley sits opposite an entertaining space. Four guests can sleep in two cabins, with a full-beam master stateroom situated amidships.
Princess F45
The “convivial” F45 flybridge’s extended flybridge includes a seating area with teak dining table and forward L-shaped seats that convert to a sunpad when required. At the touch of a button, her unique electrically-sliding transom seating arrangement extends the length of the cockpit area to deliver unrivalled main deck space for a 45ft yacht.
Below deck, there’s a full beam owner’s cabin and a forward en-suite cabin. Powered by Volvo IPS 600s, the boat can reach a top speed of up to 31 knots.
