When it comes to Princess Yacht’s F Class, the builder says, “Every Princess flybridge yacht rewrites the rule book on space, performance and entertaining. Wonderfully progressive, incredibly efficient, classically Princess.”

Owners in the market for a flybridge motoryacht with accommodations to sleep eight, a variety of exterior entertainment spaces and 36-knot speed should consider Amici, a 2018 Princess F75 currently listed with Allied Marine for $3.745 million. 

“Amici is a great example of a 75-foot Princess Motor Yacht and is being offered for sale by her second owner,” Allied Marine says. “She offers a thoughtful and spacious four-stateroom, four-head layout with great interior volume and exterior spaces.”

Stepping into the salon, the high-gloss walnut woodwork throughout evokes a warm atmosphere with the lounge seating aft, inviting guests to linger in comfort. Electric blinds help control the flow of natural light throughout the day. “Natural light flows into her main deck through extended window lines and a unique full-height window on the port side to make the free-standing dining area a spectacular place to entertain,” says Princess Yachts. 

Amidships and forward of the lounge seating is the main deck galley to starboard and formal dining to port. The dining table has an upgraded Azul Arran granite top. The galley has an array of features including: 

• Garbage disposal
• Ice maker
• Subzero wine cooler
• Subzero refrigerator
• Two Subzero freezer drawers
• Miele speed oven
• Wolf induction cooktop
• Miele dishwasher

When it comes to the outdoor entertainment spaces onboard Amici, guests will have a choice between three areas. The cockpit is a go-to spot for alfresco dining while the foredeck is the place to be to catch some sun with a three-person sun pad forward and a U-shaped settee aft. The flybridge has the best of both worlds with a lounge pad aft a U-shaped dinette amidships and a second lounge pad forward to starboard, adjacent to the upper helm station. A bar sitting amidships simplifies flybridge drink service. 

Belowdecks, sleeping accommodations include four staterooms that can sleep up to eight people. The full-beam master stateroom is amidships with a walkaround king berth, couch and 40-inch flatscreen television. The forepeak VIP stateroom has a queen berth as does the starboard guest stateroom. The final port guest cabin has twin conversion berths. 

“The ingenious design of the eagerly anticipated 75 Motor Yacht offers efficient, agile cruising, enabling you to plane at lower speeds,” Princess Yachts says. Twin 1,800 hp MAN V12 diesel engines with approximately 925 hours reportedly give Amici a 28.5-knot cruise speed and 36-knot top hop. 

Some other notable features on board Amici include: 

• SeaKeeper 16 gyrostabilizer
• 2 Onan 29 kW generators
• Starlink WiFi/internet
• Hydraulic swim platform
• Bow and stern thrusters

Where is Amici located? The yacht is currently lying in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Looking for a little more privacy? The foredeck has a Portuguese bridge-style settee as well as a sunbed for several guests.

Stairs from the cockpit lead to the flybridge with teak deck, partially covered by a retractable hardtop. Guests can relax on a C-shaped sofa with table to port, L-shaped sofa to starboard and across from the helm or on the aft-deck sun pad. Fix a beverage at the wet bar while prepping lunch on the electric grill. An ice maker helps when prepping sundowners.

Dining spaces onboard include a dinette across from the galley, the cockpit table or another table with seating on the flybridge. Twist of Faith’s salon is illuminated with natural light via large port and starboard windows, allowing guests to enjoy panoramic views underway. Guests can relax on the portside C-shaped sofa while conversing with other guests seated on the starboard side settee. There is also a wine chiller and flat-screen TV. The carpeted sole and light-colored interior creates a cozy, relaxed vibe.    

If entertaining a larger party, lock open the sliding glass doors and open the galley window to create an indoor-outdoor entertainment space.

When the day winds down, owners and guests can retire to one of four staterooms. The master stateroom is a full-beam affair with a king-size berth and en suite head, a hanging locker and a chest of drawers with a vanity and mirror. The forepeak VIP stateroom has a queen-size island berth with an en suite head, hanging lockers and drawers for stowage. Two other guest staterooms have two twin berths accommodating up to four guests.  

Twist of Faith has crew quarters for four. This space could also be used as overflow accommodations for owner-operators.

Princess Yachts’ S60 is a family-size sport-bridge yacht with three staterooms, two heads and crew quarters. This 60-footer comes standard with twin 1,000 hp Caterpillar 12.9 diesels and has optional twin 1,200 hp MAN V-8 diesels. Depending on the power selection, the S60 reportedly has a 34- to 38-knot top hop.

Exterior spaces include two alfresco dining areas—one in the cockpit, and one on the bridge—as well as a sun pad and bench seating on the foredeck.

As of April 2024, there were 12 Princess S60s available, ranging from $1.75 million to $2.19 million.   

From the Archive

“Workers infuse each S60’s hull and superstructure with vinylester resin before adding a carbon-fiber hardtop. Another aspect of the S60 that shows no signs of compromise is its lines, which blend a flybridge yacht’s spaciousness into the low-slung profile of an express cruiser. Curvaceous salon windows soften the yacht’s exterior appearance, while elongated hullside windows lengthen it. The result is a pleasing aesthetic  befitting of this stylish and sporty model.”

For owners in the market for an owner-operator capable yacht with crew accommodations, HMY Yacht Sales currently has Kaos—a 2019 Princess Y85—listed with a $5.795 million price tag. The 86-foot motoryacht has a four-stateroom layout that sleeps eight with crew space for three. 

“With the Y85, the British builder looked to create a yacht that has all the luxuries which fans of the Princess brand expect but with comforts that also make the spaces feel relaxed,” Yachting previously reported. “The Y85 is a yacht that can be owner-operated or run with a captain, and its features imbue the richness of the onboard spaces with casual touches. The combination of luxe design and family-friendly amenities is a credit not only to Princess but also to naval architect Bernard Olesinski and the Italian design firm Pininfarina.”

The gloss-finish walnut interior has salon lounge seating aft to either side with two L-shaped settees and a glass-topped coffee table to port and a four-person sofa to starboard.

The post For Sale: Princess Y85 appeared first on Yachting.

On the first day of the 2024 Palm Beach International Boat Show, Princess Yachts announced a new model in its F Class range of flybridge motoryachts. Borrowing features from its larger sister and Princess cousins, the new F58 not only sits in the proverbial sweet spot of the F Class, which spans 45 to 65 feet, but also capitalizes on the amenities, evolved styling and next-generation features found throughout the Princess line.

“A flybridge boat of this size is a critical offering for us,” says James Nobel, VP and marketing director for Princess Yachts America. “While customer demand has trended toward our larger offerings in recent years, this year we are seeing more of a mix, with many buyers coming in at the 50- to 60-foot range.”

Princess Yachts has offered several variations of boats in this size range over the lifespan of the F Class, but the F58 hits the “sweet spot,” according to Nobel. Nestled between the F55 and the F65, the new F58 offers a voluminous design that blends many features of the 55 with amenities from the 65 into one enviable package.

“We have clients who love everything in the F65 but can’t have a boat that big; perhaps their marina has a restriction on size,” Nobel says. “Then we have the clients who want just a little bit more volume than the F55. The F58 borrows from the F65 and from other models across our lines.”

Style and Space

What sets the F58 apart in a lineup that includes the F45, F50, F55, F58 and F65? We’ll start with the exterior, which can be summed up in two words: style and space. In its profile, the F58 sports the evolved exterior lines of the newer Princess models, such as the Y72, with a large single-pane side window that wraps around the upper structure. “It’s a style evolution, not a revolution,” Nobel says. Like the F55, the F58 offers the option of a built-in hardtop or an open bridge with an electric or fixed Bimini top.

The Princess F Class wouldn’t be the coveted flybridge class without plentiful deck areas, and the new F58 does not disappoint. The spacious flybridge itself sees the fully equipped wet bar with an electric barbecue situated aft so as to keep the chef close to the action and create more open deck space. Bordered by companion seating and a sumptuous convertible settee to starboard, a centrally positioned helm allows for excellent visibility.

On the foredeck, the F58 boasts a new style borrowed from the forward lounge design of the Y80, with two multifunctional sun beds with adjustable headrests and storage, as well as a walk-through to the bow. This space can be further augmented with sun awnings and a cool box, creating a private terrace akin to that enjoyed by larger yachts.

The enhanced volume of the F58’s design is most readily apparent in the cockpit area, which seamlessly integrates with the salon and aft galley, creating an inviting alfresco space that flows to the swim platform and mini beach club transom area—yet another unique feature of this new model. Here, clients have a variety of options to fit out their mini open-air beach club, such as a waterside barbecue with a sink or a dedicated storage area for SeaBobs, dive gear and other water toys. A fold-down transom seat rounds out this perfect spot to enjoy a day of watersports.

Two distinguishing features not immediately apparent in the F58’s styling make a big impact on the lifestyle the F58 offers on the water. The first occurs below the waterline, where a larger engine package of twin MAN V-8 1,000 hp or 1,200 hp diesels (depending on the option selected) propel the 59-foot-8-inch beauty to a maximum speed of 31 and 34 knots, respectively. Second, the F58 is the first sub-80-foot model from Princess to offer sustainable battery-powered silent running or hotel services as an option.

Turn up the Volume

That leads us to the interior, which can be summed up with the word “volume.” Maintaining the popular aft-galley arrangement seen on the F55, the increased volume of the F58 allows for a separate L-shaped sofa and coffee table/dinette aft and a larger U-shaped sofa forward, effectively creating two separate spaces for dining and lounging. The aforementioned panoramic windows bathe the interior in natural light, highlighting the signature Princess craftsmanship and the contemporary yet timeless design of this new model. As with all Princess models, F58 clients can select their preferred woods, countertops, flooring and interior soft goods.

The F58 offers a three-stateroom, two en suite layout; however, the increased interior volume here allows for a full-beam master suite with a walk-in closet and a three-quarter-beam en suite just aft of the master bed—more “big boat” features. The VIP is positioned forward, and a twin to starboard can be converted into a third double. And while the F58 is designed for efficient owner operation, it does offer the option of a single crew cabin with an en suite and storage aft.

A Home Run

It’s obvious that the F58 does a fantastic job of compiling so many features from the larger Princess yachts into its layout while still maintaining its efficiency as an owner-operator boat. How does it compete with the F55? These are two very distinct models, Nobel explains.

“The F55 remains a very strong model both in the U.S. and in Central America,” Nobel states. “But there is a tremendous amount of interest in the F58, and it will be interesting to see the market’s response. It is a bigger step up dollar-wise, size-wise and volume-wise. It has a bigger engine package and many entertainment features you won’t find on smaller models. As with everything we do, when you have a successful model, you want to maintain the positives and evolve it to the next level.

“We feel the F58 will be a home run,” he says. “Most of our customers are owner operators, couples with young families or grandparents with grandkids who visit. The F58 is very manageable for two people. It’s the sweet spot for us depending on where we are reaching clients in their lifetime.”

Crafted by the esteemed Princess Design Studio in collaboration with naval architects Olesinski and the renowned Italian design house, Pininfarina, this yacht introduces a fresh hull, deck, and canopy design, redefining the essence of one of the cornerstone models of the range. Available in both a sealed deck saloon and an open deck version, the V50 invites you to experience the ocean’s elements more intimately.

Powering this refined vessel are the compact yet robust twin Volvo Penta IPS600 or IPS650 engines housed in the innovative deep-V hull, ensuring speeds of 30-plus knots and an extended cruising range—a nod to the adventurous spirit that defines Princess Yachts’ owners. With substantial fuel capacity upgrades, adventurers can traverse further, embracing the great outdoors.

Ease of ownership is paramount with the V50, equipped with the latest advancements including an intuitive IPS system with joystick control for effortless piloting and Volvo Penta’s assisted docking system, which mitigates external environmental challenges. Complementing its advanced navigation systems are the high-fidelity Naim audio system and Garmin’s On-Deck smart boat technology, allowing for remote monitoring and control of onboard systems via a smartphone application.

The V50’s aesthetic is sleek and modern, marked by an extended full-length hull window graphic and optional contrasting paint on the canopy styling blade, enhancing its sporty profile. Internally, the yacht showcases luxurious design with flowing lines and textured furnishings from a newly introduced fabric collection, reflecting the high standards seen across the V and S Class ranges.

Outdoor living spaces are maximized in the cockpit and bathing platform, reminiscent of larger vessels, with practical access and an elongated canopy for shaded comfort. The closed deck model features a climate-controlled deck saloon, integrating a U-shaped dining area and concealed television, ensuring optimal relaxation and entertainment.

Below deck, a luminous galley and spacious seating area offer the option of conversion to a third cabin, ensuring comfort and versatility. Two exquisitely appointed cabins bathe in natural light, with a full-beam owner’s stateroom amidships, providing a private retreat. Embodying the spirit of year-round cruising, the all-new Princess V50 is a paragon of innovation and luxury in the realm of 50-foot sports yachts.

The 2018 Princess Yachts Y75 Amarula Sun is listed with Galati Yacht Sales  at $4.295 million. The four-stateroom flybridge yacht is dressed to impress, sporting chic lines and 36-knot speed.

If you had to describe Amarula Sun’s interior in one word it would probably be: open. A combination of windows, low-profile furniture and a lack of forward bulkheads give owners and their guests clear sightlines from the cockpit to the lower-helm station while increasing the yacht’s sense of volume. If privacy is desired, lower the salon’s electric Roman blinds. Satin-finish walnut throughout pairs nicely with the light, neutral-tone fabrics, creating a warm vibe.

A C-shaped settee to starboard and a sofa to port complete the lounge seating aft. There is a formal dining area to port and amidships, adjacent to the galley. The oval, glass dining table has seating for eight. The galley is to starboard with a U-shaped countertop and an array of appliances, including:

• Garbage disposal
• Perlick Wine Cooler
• Twin stainless-steel sinks
• Full-height refrigerator and freezer
• Miele four-burner cooktop
• Miele combination oven/microwave
• Miele dishwasher
• Ice maker

When a long day of enjoying water toys and cruising the Y75 comes to an end, head belowdecks to four well-appointed staterooms. The full-beam master stateroom is amidships with a king berth, a sofa to starboard, a private entrance and an en suite head. The forepeak VIP has a centerline queen berth and an en suite head. The port en suite guest stateroom has side-by-side berths while the starboard guest stateroom has a queen berth and access to the day head forward.

If you enjoy the outdoors, Amarula Sun has several alfresco entertainment zones. On the foredeck, a U-shaped settee is abaft an adjustable sun pad. There’s also a sun shade with carbon fiber poles available. In the cockpit, a U-shaped transom bench seat and fixed table sit under the flybridge overhang with dining space for six, just pull up a few chairs.

Taking the party up to the flybridge offers even more options, with three additional social spaces. The forward seating flanking the helm station includes an L-shaped settee to starboard and a bench seat to port. The captain can dial the rays up to10 in this forward area with the retractable sunroof. A U-shaped dinette with a teak folding table is amidships and to starboard, directly across from the flybridge wet bar and Kenyon electric grill. The after section of the flybridge is set up for tender stowage with a davit, however, with the tender deployed there’s plenty of space to set up loose furniture and relax. The tender is not included in the sale of Amarula Sun.

Power for this Princess Y75 is provided by twin low-hour (395) 1,800 hp MAN V12 1800 diesels, which give the 75-footer a 36-knot top hop and a 29-knot cruise speed.

Some other notable features on board Amarula Sun include:

• Seakeeper 16 gyrostabilizer
• Hydraulic swim platform
• Two Onan 29 kW generators
• Four Garmin GPSMAP 7616 multifunction displays
• Opacmare flybridge crane

The Princess F58 joins the acclaimed F-Class fleet, positioned between the existing F55 and the flagship F65. This latest model continues the series’ tradition of blending elegant design with advanced features, tailored for the luxury boating market.

A key focus of the F58 is its social spaces. The flybridge offers ample room for dining and relaxation, featuring a well-equipped wet bar and electric barbecue. The helm provides comprehensive visibility for piloting and includes an additional seat for a guest or crew member. Additionally, the seating area can be easily converted into a sunpad for those looking to enjoy the sun.  Options for the flybridge include a hardtop, with available opening center section, or a hydraulically retractable bimini top for shade.

The yacht’s deck is not limited to the flybridge; the foredeck includes a flexible ‘terrace’ area, inspired by larger Princess models. It has sunpads and optional amenities like a cool box, providing a comfortable space for entertainment or relaxation.

In the cockpit, the design emphasizes spaciousness and connection, leading into the saloon and galley which merge seamlessly with the outdoor area. The saloon is bright, thanks to panoramic windows, and houses a U-shaped sofa and a convertible coffee/dining table, positioning this area as the social hub of the yacht.

Below deck, the F58’s layout includes three cabins: a forward VIP guest cabin, a convertible twin cabin, and a full-beam owner’s stateroom. The stateroom boasts a luxury ensuite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe. An optional crew cabin with ensuite and storage can also be included in the design.

With a sophisticated aesthetic and attention to detail, the Princess F58 is poised to be a popular choice in the F-Class series. The first unit is expected to go into production later this year and will make its debut in early 2025. The F58 represents a balance of luxury and functionality, making it a fitting addition to the Princess Yachts’ portfolio.

The post Princess Yachts Expands Its F-Class Series appeared first on Yachting.

During the Miami International Boat Show last February, a bevy of builders introduced a host of new models for yachting enthusiasts of all kinds. Attendees had the opportunity to see enhanced helm stations, eco-friendly propulsion options, plush creature comforts, and more. Here, we offer a glimpse at some of the yachts that were seen and talked about, whether they’re already under construction or just now coming off the drawing boards for early orders.

CLB80: Made for Different Cruising Styles

CL Yachts is adding a fourth model to its B Series: the CLB80, which joins the CLB65, CLB72 and CLB88 flagship. Aboard the CLB80, owners can choose a forward or aft galley. With the latter, there’s a stool-height dining table that can tuck away against the galley counter, becoming a high bar or a side table for different styles of entertaining. Owners also can choose a single or double helm station, depending on how they prefer to cruise. All four guest staterooms are belowdecks, including an amidships master that spans the 22-foot-6-inch beam. The VIP stateroom is forward with a skylight for additional natural light. There are also two crew cabins with separate access, located between the engine room and beach club.

Saxdor 400 GTO: A New Flagship

Saxdor Yachts is a Finnish yard that was established in 2019. It offers three models: the 270 GTO, the 320 GTO and the recently launched 400 GTO. Note the size of the foldout balcony in the image below; there’s another one on the starboard side of the vessel, substantially increasing the outdoor space when the boat is at anchor. Guests can have snacks or lunch in that shaded section or set out a spread forward on the table beneath open skies. Belowdecks are two staterooms: one forward and one amidships. For cruising families, the shipyard offers the option of adding a kids cabin. Standard power is a pair of 300 hp Mercury Marine V-8s, though the boat is designed for a maximum of 800 hp, if owners want other outboards at the transom.

Vicem TM 37: Sport Fishing in High Style

The TM in the model name of Vicem’s TM 37 stands for “Tuna Masters.” This is a line of center-console boats that the Turkish builder launched earlier this year, with more models expected to come at different lengths overall. Hull No. 1 of the TM 37 is powered by triple 350 hp Mercury Marine outboards that reportedly give eager-to-get-there anglers a top hop of nearly 48 knots. The standard power package is a pair of the 350s, which Vicem says allows for a top speed of about 40 knots. Range is estimated at 350 nautical miles, with a Seakeeper gyrostabilizer as part of the standard-equipment package for more-comfortable time spent on board. Belowdecks are twin berths and a wet head for overnights. Electronics at the helm are by Raymarine.

Cruisers Yachts 55 Fly: Coming this Spring

The 55 Fly is the first model in the new Flybridge series from Cruisers Yachts, which also offers Cantius and GLS series. Expect the official launch of the 55 Fly this spring, with the second model in the Flybridge series on tap for next year. Luiz De Basto collaborated with the Cruisers team on interiors, using the design theme “back to nature in a tech world.” Josh Delforge, vice president of operations and engineering at Cruisers, says that one goal with the 55 Fly was best-in-class water interaction—hence the foldout side platform and sizable swim platform shown in the image below. Power will be twin 725 hp Volvo Penta IPS950s, allowing extra volume to devote to the accommodations for six guests.

Princess Y95: High Style Meets 23-Knot Speed

The Y95 is the new flagship of Princess Yachts’ four-model Y Class of open-flybridge designs in larger sizes.
