The new British-built Princess X80, with its creative glazing, super-sized sky lounge and a foredeck with a Jacuzzi, is now in the U.S. It also has a large main deck with an extra space all the way forward that can be either a dinette with 270-degree views or a fifth stateroom, complete with its own head and shower and door to the side deck. (So far, about half the buyers in the U.K. have ordered the dinette, while the other half want the stateroom.) The new Princess X80 doesn’t lack for power. It comes with twin 1,900-hp MAN diesels, producing…

Princess just launched its all-new S72, a sporty, 36-knot, sportbridge cruiser with dynamic lines and neutral tones that take an understated approach to luxury yachting. A four-stateroom, three-head, British-built cruiser, the S72 has a resin-infused, modified-V hull powered by twin 1,800-hp MAN diesels. Cruising speed is about 30 knots. It also has a crew cabin accessible by lifting a hatch in the transom with two bunks and a head with a shower. The salon is bright and airy, with full-length windows providing uninterrupted views all around. More light, and fresh air, come in from a large sunroof that’s made possible…

Princess Yachts, the upscale British builder, announced that they’re expanding their Y Class range with a new Y85 flagship that will be launched next year. The all-new, contemporary styled Y85 was a joint product of the naval architect firm Olesinski and the Italian design house Pininfarina. The four-stateroom, flybridge motor yacht is innovative and luxurious, and its deep-v hull will provide a safe, fast ride offshore. The yacht is powered by twin 1,900-hp MAN V-12 diesels, providing a top speed of about 32 knots. One of the most intriguing features of the Y85 is the galley, where owners can choose…

Princess Yachts, one of the largest builders in the UK, just launched its new V50 Open cruiser at the Cannes Yachting Festival. The new V50 is an updated version of an aging 50 that was one of Princess’ most popular cruisers for many years, with an all-new hull and deck and considerably more power. For the update, Princess worked with Pininfarina, the iconic Italian design house, for a sleek, more modern look. Power comes from twin 480-hp Volvo IPS650 pod drives, providing 80-hp more than the earlier boat as well as making docking and low-speed maneuvering easy with the IPS…

Princess is launching a new X80 Superfly luxury cruiser, the second in its Superfly series and modeled after the earlier X95 flagship that has been well received. The X80 has all the same lines as the 95, and it was designed by Princess, Olesinski Design and Peninfarina, creating a yacht with lots of volume inside and some innovations that make it stand out on its own. First is what Princess calls the “super flybridge” that it says provides 30 percent more space than that found on other yachts of its size. The yacht’s only helm station is up there, and…

The full-beam, midships master is reached by a private staircase from the salon. The salon is filled with natural light all around. The side windows are almost four feet high, and the electric sun roof opens far enough to expose about half the main deck.…
