Princess Yachts’ Y Class flagship, the Y95, is defined by performance, first-rate finishes and ever-flowing lines. An eye-turner at the docks, the Y95 maintains a stout yet relatively sporty profile from bow to stern, framing the largest hull window ever installed on a Princess.

The builder drew inspiration from its Y85 and X95 models while designing the Y95. “The Y95 builds on the best attributes of the X Class, appealing to our heartland, with a strong focus on elegant design and modern marine life,” says Antony Sheriff, executive chairman of Princess Yachts. “The Y95’s design is a classic example of form and function that beautifully comes together to create our largest yacht.”

Bernard Olesinski, Princess Yachts’ longtime naval architect, developed the Y95’s wave-piercing hull form. Italian design house Pininfarina helped create the interior and exterior spaces.

Notable outdoor entertainment spaces on the Y95 include multiple areas on the flybridge, the cockpit’s alfresco dining area, and the foredeck’s two lounge pads and forward-facing settee. When it’s time for a break from swimming and playing with the water toys, hop onto the hydraulic swim platform, open the transom door and step down into the cozy beach club with a C-shaped dinette, an L-shaped wet bar and a flat-screen TV.

The salon has a conventional layout with the lounge aft and formal dining forward. The furniture placement and nearly sole-to-ceiling windows are intended to keep guests connected with the sea. Facing sofas should allow for easy conversation and unobstructed views.

For the times when evenings on the water come to an end, accommodations include an on-deck owner’s stateroom and four belowdecks guest staterooms, all en suite. The owner’s space has a king berth, a settee to starboard and a desk to port. Belowdecks, a full-beam amidships stateroom creates an owner’s-level experience for VIPs with a king berth, settee and desk. The forepeak stateroom has a queen berth. The final two guest staterooms split the centerline abaft the forepeak stateroom, which has twin berths.

The Y95 is powered by twin 2,000 hp MAN V-12 diesels, giving it a reported 21- to 23-knot top hop. According to the builder, the Princess Y95 has a maximum range of more than 1,000 nautical miles at its 12- to 14-knot cruising speed.

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

  • Bow and stern thrusters

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

Access to the Princess 68’s salon is via sliding glass doors from the cockpit. The aft galley is immediately to port and this setup makes it easy to entertain guests inside or outside. Amenities, including the double sink, cooktop, oven and refrigerator/freezer, allow owners to prepare meals big or small during extended cruises with friends and family.

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.

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.

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.”

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.”

Princess Yachts F58
Princess Yachts’ new F58 model combines many of the highlights of their larger models with the benefits of a compact size. Princess Yachts America

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.

A highlight of the new F58 model is the cockpit area that seamlessly flows to the swim platform. Princess Yachts America

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.

The increased volume on the F58 allows for separate dining and lounging spaces. Princess Yachts America

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.”

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.

For boaters looking for a new-to-them used yacht, now is a great time to start looking at options as the used-yacht segment has been shifting to a buyer’s market. To help boat buyers in their yacht shopping, we go in-depth on 10 used flybridge cruisers that are ready for new owners today.

2019 Princess Yachts S60 – Rock On – Palm Beach, Florida

“HMY Yacht Sales has Rock On, a 2019 Princess Yachts S60, listed at $2.149 million. The nearly 38-knot, 60-foot sportbridge yacht is equal parts performance and entertainment thanks to its efficient hull form and well-appointed social spaces.

Rock On reaches its aforementioned 38-knot top hop thanks to optional 1,200 hp MAN V-8 diesels. The 60-footer has a 29-knot cruise speed, and it’s worth noting the engines have only 390 hours. The yacht has also spent its entire life on freshwater.

“While sport-bridge models are occasionally maligned as nothing more than a compromise between a motoryacht and an express cruiser, the Princess S60 represents a solid counterargument to that gripe. There simply isn’t a whole lot of half-stepping to this yacht,” Yachting previously reported

Allied Marine currently has Sami Kay III, a 2015 Ferretti 750, listed with an asking price of $2.29 million.

When it comes to choosing where to catch some sun on Sami Kay III will you pick the two-person sun pad on the foredeck or the three-person sun pad on the flybridge? How about alfresco dining, will you and your guests eat at the C-shaped dinette on the flybridge or down in the cockpit? Even the captain has to choose between the all-weather lower helm station or the wind-in-your-hair upper helm station. Decisions, decisions.”

2018 Azimut 80 Fly – Deep Blue – Pompano Beach, Florida

“The Azimut Yachts 80 Fly called Deep Blue is currently for sale with MarineMax with an asking price of $3.69 million. The 2018 build has chic lines, 31-knot speed and a layout aimed at family cruising fun.

“Azimut designer Stefano Righini got the exterior just right, creating a flybridge and hardtop that enhance the aggressive, but not too racy, lines of the hull,” Yachting previously reported. “In the profile view, the 80 is quite sleek and proportional. From the stern, she has even more attractive symmetry: The superstructure tapers in where it joins the hull, and then flares outward as the flybridge takes over from the salon. Righini thought through the geometry, using straight lines with subtle curves and sharp angles, including a large, blue-mirrored panel at the base of the radar arch that looks like one of the salon windows from a distance.””

Marquis 65

When Yachting first wrote about the Marquis65, we noted how “The new 65-footer is not simply a bigger Carver, in concept or in execution; she is a whole new animal. The company reached beyond its own doors to ensure the new series would be not just what Carver wanted, but what knowledgeable yachtsmen would demand. She is nothing short of world-class.”

To that end, Serenity’s salon has a sense of volume and warmth because of its open floorplan with the country galley forward, rich, high-gloss wood finishes and natural light from nearly 360 degrees of glass. Owners can dial in the desired natural lighting via automatic blinds. The salon also has a three-person sofa and coffee table to port with four lounge chairs positioned around the salon. A spiral staircase to starboard leads to this yacht’s flybridge.”

Aside from being aesthetically pleasing, the windows enhance views from the salon and helm, add an aggressive look to her profile and let natural light bathe the yacht’s interior.”
