Your yacht is an extension of yourself. A statement of your lifestyle. She needs to deliver unforgettable experiences for you, your family and friends. Every Princess yacht is designed with our forward-thinking mentality and crafted with meticulous attention to detail. So whether you’re dashing across the water or moored in your favourite bay, you will recognise the difference our design and details make, inside and out. Experience the exceptional.

The Princess experience

We invite you to enter the world of Princess Yachts and discover more about our people, partners and passions.

Crafted in Plymouth

Perched on the edge of the English Channel lies the city of Plymouth, where we established our home in 1965. Today Princess shipyards cover an area of over 1.1 million square feet, an area rich in British maritime heritage. In fact, South Yard, where our X Class super flybridge yachts are constructed, is a former naval yard dating back to the 17th century.

The Princess Difference

Dedication and attention to detail resonates deeply with our Plymouth craftspeople; over 3,200 people, each possessing a mastery of their skill. Through a culture of innovation, our yachts are not only some of the most technically advanced in the world but also the most beautifully realised. Over 80% of each Princess yacht is crafted in-house

The Mock Ups

A 1:1 scale model is made of all new yachts at Princess. This a truly unique part of our design process, not carried out by any other yacht manufacturer. A mock-up of all interior and exterior spaces of the boat are created out of plywood for every new Princess model before ever going to build. Each mock-up takes approximately 6-8 weeks to create and they are housed in our Ropery building at the historic old naval site at South Yard, home to our X Class super flybridge yachts.

#PRINCESSAROUNDTHEWORLD.

In our 55-year history, the Princess family has grown to include more than 30,000 owners from over 100 countries across the globe. We invite you to take part by sharing your own Princess moments on social media using the hashtag #PrincessAroundTheWorld.

Auckland Boat Show

Largest-ever display of Princess yachts in New Zealand

Over the years, the Auckland On Water Boat Show has developed a reputation as a hub for the new releases and innovations of the marine industry this year. As the show approaches, we’ll be highlighting the best-in-show products you can expect to see this year, and the latest and greatest from our exhibitors.

February 24, 2023 By

With the countdown to the show now truly underway, a range of exciting new additions are set to join when it kicks off on March 23.

Sports Marine will bring a huge line up to this year’s show, including the biggest display ever of Princess Yachts seen in the country. It will include the New Zealand debut of striking Princess models the V55, V65, V40 and F55. Princess Yachts New Zealand & Fiji and Sports Marine are looking forward to the chance to invite show visitors to experience the exceptional and register for a private tour through the boats on display.

When the Princess V55 makes her New Zealand debut, show visitors will discover a striking all-new V55 with a sleek and dynamic exterior profile coupled with an intelligent use of space and all the exceptional performance qualities synonymous with the V Class range.

Her main deck has been purposely designed for those who enjoy true open-boating. The expansive cockpit features a large L-shaped seating area with additional seating aft around a substantial folding teak table served by a wetbar opposite with electric barbecue. This area connects to the salon via a drop down sliding door and opening window aft of the galley, seamlessly integrating the two living areas as required. Her main deck also boasts a large sunpad located aft of the cockpit and a further foredeck seating and sunbathing area. With a top speed of 37 knots, she promises to deliver a powerful V Class sports yacht experience.

Also making her debut, the V40 quintessentially showcases the sleek exterior, performance and exceptional seakeeping of the Princess V Class range. Her port light windows cascade across the length of her deep-V hull, flooding the salon and cabins with natural light. When entertaining, her spacious cockpit provides the perfect setting with the option to specify a convertible sunbed aft.

Below deck, her interior design depicts the modern V Class look throughout. Her spacious salon and well-equipped galley combine for a highly-sociable entertaining space, while both cabins exude contemporary style and generous proportions. The forward cabin has an en-suite bathroom with secondary access to the salon whilst the aft cabin can be fitted with optional sliding berths to provide easy conversion to a double bed when required.

Sports Marine will also present an exciting line up of additional brands, including rapidly growing yacht brand Nimbus, striking Saxdor, and Sea Ray’s Sundancer.

Nimbus is quickly gaining popularity in the New Zealand market, with the Swedish built quality and attention to detail, proving a popular formula in the local market. Sports Marine has added the Nimbus T11 to its Nimbus display at the Auckland Boat Show for 2023 after strong success in the Australian market with this model.

Saxdor is likewise quickly growing its reputation internationally, and is Europe’s fastest growing boat brand. Since its foundation in 2019, Saxdor has delivered over 500 vessels in its first year, while racking up several industry awards. A new brand to the New Zealand market, Saxdor is changing the way we think about boating with striking design and innovative features at a very competitive price. Saxdor will be making its New Zealand debut at the AOWBS 2023 with three models on display. The first two 320 series boat into the country will be shown alongside the extremely popular 200 series.

Sports Marine has been New Zealand’s sole Sea Ray dealer since 1985. With over 2,000 boats sold, it’s easy to see why Sea Ray is the preferred choice of American boats for Kiwi boaters. Sports Marine will be displaying a Sundancer 320 at the Auckland Boat Show in March 2023.

PRINCESS YACHTS DEBUTS AT CANNES YACHTING FESTIVAL

Princess Y72

Princess Yachts displayed eight yachts at last week’s Cannes Yachting Festival, including the global debut of the all-new Princess Y72 motor yacht.

It was also the European premiere of the Princess X95, the first model in Princess’s new ‘super flybridge’ X Class. It was also reported that the company sold two at the show. This brings their tally now to over 20 sales of the X95. The complete S Class range comprising the S62, S66 and the S78 and the F50 and the F55 plus the dynamic V60 make up the exceptional lineup.

Princess announced their continued commitment to setting industry benchmarks in sustainability and reduced environmental impact at the show with some exciting news about partnerships and new innovative projects.

The all-new Princess Y72 attracted considerable attention. Featuring the latest Princess exterior design and interior finishes, with beautifully sculpted exterior forms, she is fitted with expansive full-length hull windows, also seen on the highly anticipated flagship of the range, the Y95, due to launch in 2022. Indoor and outdoor living areas are optimised to create sociable yet practical spaces, whilst powerful twin MAN V12 1650mhp engines provide up to 34 knots of power.

Princess Yachts’ new ‘Superfly’ X Class range re-defines the practical potential and lifestyle options aboard with a complete re-think of yacht architecture. Designed in collaboration with Olesinski and Pininfarina, the X95 is the first model in Princess Yachts’ new X Class. Challenged with setting a new standard of layout excellence, defined by large, adaptable spaces that can be used and formatted in numerous ways, it offers the owner and guests a uniquely flexible boating lifestyle.

Both the flybridge and main deck interior space cover almost the entire length of the yacht, creating the Super Flybridge – the X Class’s defining characteristic. This new layout provides 10% more outdoor space and 40% more indoor space than a traditional motor yacht.
