Princess Yachts Reviews

The story began on Newport Street in Plymouth in 1965. It was here that ex-Naval officer David King and two friends started a company called Marine Projects.

Their first model, which was named Project 31 , was built on the hull of a Senior 31 and fitted out in a rented shed. This historic yacht was restored in 2015 as part of the yard’s 50th anniversary celebrations.

From such humble beginnings, Marine Projects made huge advances over the following years. This led to the 1969 launch of the Princess 32 – the first model to bear the name.

The 1970s saw Princess branch out into the burgeoning flybridge market with the Princess 37 V Hull. Designed by John Bennett and launched at the London Boat Show, this model was fitted with high performance inboard diesel engines.

Six years later the company began work on the Princess 30DS with a promising young designer called Bernard Olesinski. His name has since become a byword for the deep-vee hull. 1981 saw a buyout of the company, with South African businessman Graham J Beck taking the helm – he would remain the majority shareholder for the next 27 years.

In 1984 the launch of the Princess 286 Riviera cemented this company’s status in the high-speed sports cruiser market. Its twin 270hp Volvo AQ271/DP engines gave a top speed of more than 30 knots. Just a year later, the company followed up this success with the launch of the Princess 45, which was the largest production yacht in the UK – and there was clearly an appetite for larger yachts, as more than 400 hulls produced over the next nine years.

Export and expansion

The V-Class range was rolled out in 1994 with the arrival of the Princess V39 , which in its latest guise is still one of the company’s best sellers more than 20 years later. A 1995 tie-up with Viking Yachts of Gretna, New Jersey saw Princess break into the American market.

The 1990s also saw the yard move into a new purpose-built headquarters, still on Newport Street, as well as acquiring a new site in nearby Coypool.

But wasn’t until 2001 that the company was officially renamed as Princess Yachts International, with production split over three sites in Devonport, Plympton and Lee Mill. This year also saw the launch of Princess’s first M Class superyacht, the Princess 25M.

And in 2008 a buyout by L Capital allowed further expansion, taking the Princess range over the 100ft mark for the first time. This led to another new site – South Yard was leased from the Ministry of Defence for the development of the M Class range in 2009 and Princess was granted the lease for the premises two years later.

The yard is rightly proud of its environmental record, which was underlined in 2011 when Princess became the first British yard to achieve RINA Green Plus (Y) notation for its entire range. More recently, Princess teamed up with the Marine Conservation Society to launch a 2016 book called Enid & Her Magic Yacht, which aims to spread the environmental message to the next generation of seafarers.

Today the Princess Yachts collection ranges from the entry-level V39 sportscruiser to the 131ft tri-deck Princess 40M superyacht . Its yachts are built in a state-of-the-art facility, which spans more than 100,000 square metres. With more than 3,000 staff on its books, Princess Yachts is one of the biggest employers in Plymouth, but also operates in 118 other countries across the world.

New Princess Yachts For Sale

Princess Yachts is a leading boat manufacturer of express cruiser and flybridge models between 40 and 95 feet. The Princess shipyard is based in Plymouth, England, and they make five model ranges, all of which are in high demand, so much so that new Princess yacht inventory tends to be scarce. However, when you work with SI Yachts, you do also have the option of ordering and customizing your very own Princess boat. SI Yachts, serving New York and New Jersey, is one of the largest and most successful Princess yacht dealers in North America and has even been named Princess dealer of the year. Our team is factory-trained and knowledgeable about all of the Princess models and the options for each one. We can also take your existing boat in trade toward the purchase of a new Princess yacht for sale or sell it for you on the brokerage market.

Princess Yachts is best known for their luxury flybridge models that range from 45 to 65 feet, which are consistently their best-selling boats. The Princess F-Class models can be easily managed by the owner, making them a great option for light to moderate cruising. The range includes the F65, F55, F50, and F45. The F65 is the newest model.

Sleek and powerful, the Princess S-Class models are distinctively captivating. The Princess sport bridge models range from 62 to 80 feet and offer extensive cockpits and garages along with spacious interiors. Enjoy the sun on your face while driving from the sport bridge or while relaxing in the over-sized bow's lounge area. The flagship S80 is among the newest Princess models available today.

Express yachts have always been a popular choice among cruising enthusiasts, and the Princess V-Class series sets the standard. Sleek lines, powerful engines, a generous aft cockpit, and luxurious interiors are the hallmarks of the V-series. The electrically controlled sunroof is massive, and when opened, it lets in the light or opens up the view of the night sky. With large windows lining the salon and the aft door open, a V-Class yacht allows you to enjoy the comforts of being inside coupled with the fun of the outdoors. The V50 is one of the most recent models to be unveiled.

The Princess X95 has opened a new chapter and model series for this luxury yacht builder. The Princess X95 is also called a "super flybridge," describing the extra-long bridge deck that is equivalent to the same size as the main deck. The super flybridge features a fully enclosed skybridge lounge as well as the traditional outdoor socializing areas. The newest model in the range, the X80, is equally as equipped as its larger sibling and can reach speeds of more than 30 knots.

The Princess Y-Class models are larger open flybridge yachts, similar to the F-Class, but they range from 72 to 95 feet. These Princess motor yachts feature creative interior accommodations and a keen attention to detail throughout every space, and there's room for up to ten guests depending on the model, so everyone can enjoy their time on board. The flagship Y95 can reach speeds up to 24 knots!

HISTORICAL Princess Yachts MODELS

About princess yachts.

WHAT MAKES PRINCESS YACHTS SO DESIRABLE?

Every Princess boat model built today is designed by the most experienced architects in the industry to be the best that it possibly can be. The materials are sourced from the very best manufacturers, and only the most powerful, efficient propulsion methods are chosen. One only needs to look at recent awards that Princess Yachts has been the recipient of to understand their dedication to the satisfaction of every yacht owner. Here are just a few:

• Princess S72: Best Exterior Design Award, World Yacht Trophies (2023)
• Princess Y72: Best Flybridge Over 60', Motor Boat Awards (2022)
• Princess F45: Best Flybridge Under 60', Motor Boat Awards (2022)
• Princess X95: Best of the Best Award, Robb Report (2021)

ABOUT PRINCESS YACHTS

The Princess Yachts story began in 1963 in Plymouth, England, when a group of friends, including an ex-naval officer named David King, decided to form a company called Marine Projects in an effort to build a superior cruising boat. With an old 31-foot mold and a rented shed, the team managed to launch their very first model, dubbed Project 31. Over the next several years, they worked to improve their operation, and in 1969, Marine Projects launched the Princess 32, the first model to bear the name. It was just one of many changes that would evolve the Princess brand into what we know it to be today.

In 1995, a relationship was forged between the Viking Yacht Company in New Gretna, NJ, and the Princess Yachts Limited factory in England. The goal was to bring the Princess style of luxury cruising yachts to the American market, backed by the well-known reputation of Viking yachts. This new style of sport yacht became known as Viking Sport Cruisers, which were built in the same process as the Princess yachts but with differences integrated for the U.S. market. For instance, Princess yachts in America have larger refrigeration, more horsepower in the engines, and converted electrical systems for components on board.

Much has changed since the launch of the first Viking Sport Cruisers back in 1996, including the purchase of Princess Yachts by the world-renowned LVMH. The LVMH group owns more than 60 of the top companies worldwide, including Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Feadship Yachts, and De Beers. Then, in 2022, Princess was sold to KPS Capital Partners, a private equity firm based in the United States. KPS also owns the Life Fitness athletic equipment company, which it purchased from Brunswick.

Every employee at the Princess Yachts shipyard in Plymouth is touted as a skilled crafter in their trade, and there are multiple generations of families that have all become part of the Princess family. With an experienced workforce and all of the finishes done in-house, Princess Yachts is able to maintain a very high level of quality control not seen at most yacht-builders. The deep-V hull that Princess has become synonymous with over the years continues to be the mainstay in design, although production technology has continued to improve, as has the level of performance. It's no wonder, then, why Princess uses the tagline "Experience the exceptional." One visit to the Princess boat factory with the team from SI Yachts can make your choice very clear. You can expect an exceptional level of quality from a new Princess yacht, and when you buy a Princess yacht from us, you'll be buying from one of the best support teams in the industry.

WHERE ARE PRINCESS YACHTS BUILT?

The Princess shipyard is located on Newport Street in Plymouth, England, next to Stonehouse Bridge. The entire factory covers more than 1.1 million square feet and is conveniently located on the River Tamar, with access out to deeper water in the English Channel. Today, Princess employs more than 3,000 people at its facilities in Plymouth.

WHAT IS THE BIGGEST PRINCESS YACHT BUILT TODAY?

The biggest Princess yacht for sale today is the new Y95 . The length overall of the Y95 is 95 feet 4 inches. This is 2 inches larger than the X95. The Y95 also has a larger beam of 22 feet 3 inches.

WHAT IS THE SMALLEST PRINCESS BUILT TODAY?

The smallest new Princess yacht built today is the V40 , which is easy for an owner to operate without the need for a professional captain. Joystick control combined with the deep-V hull design make driving and docking the V40 easy for all on board. The length overall for the V40 is 42 feet 6 inches, and it has a beam of 12 feet 5 inches.

UPDATE ON PRE-OWNED PRINCESS MARKET

The team at SI Yachts are experts are listing and selling your pre-owned Princess . Our Diamond listing program ensure your boat is priced right and is marketed to sell. There are currently 102 pre-owned Princess Yachts available for sale today in the United States. There have been 39 pre-owned Princess boats sold in the last 12 months. (Updated: February 2024)

HOW MUCH DO PRINCESS YACHTS COST?

Princess luxury yachts are typically more expensive than your average boat in similar size ranges because of the high quality, attention to detail, top-of-the-line power systems, equipment choices, and customization options. With models ranging from 40 to 95 feet, the price ranges also vary considerably. The new Princess Y95 can easily cost $11 million depending on engine options and other equipment. But one of the smallest models, the Princess F45 , can cost $1 million, depending upon the same decisions by the owner regarding options and equipment.
