Princess Yachts, the UK's leading luxury yacht manufacturer, has revealed that the all-new Princess F65 will have its World Premiere at the Southampton International Boat Show from the 16th - 25th September 2022.
In addition to the new flybridge model, a further six yachts will be on display, including the awardwinning Y72, the sporty S66, the new F55, new F50 and award-winning F45 from the F Class range plus the ever-popular V55. The Princess Y72 will feature a new interior fabric range which includes materials from more sustainable sources than traditionally used fabrics, a taste of the Company's extensive upcoming Environmental and Sustainability Programme.
The all-new Princess F65
The eagerly anticipated Princess F65 sets the direction for an all-new design language for the F Class, with an emphasis on sculptural surfaces and lengthened feature lines. The Princess F65 becomes the flagship of the F Class range, which has become a leading force in the luxury yacht market.
The all-new F65's exterior design language features the unique extended knife-edge hull window running from the bow, to create a coherent design language across new and upcoming products within the Princess range. Interior styling focuses on quality through form and shape, each interacting with one another to feel like a single entity. A light and airy atmosphere is present across her interior styling, establishing a contemporary feel to this classic Princess range.
Will Green, Executive Director, Sales and Marketing, said "The Southampton Boat Show has always been extremely important to Princess and it marks the start of the new selling season, often setting the direction for the year ahead. The new F65 will be a pivotal new boat for Princess and we are delighted to be able to launch her at our home Show as a major draw for both UK and international customers."
Visitors to the Southampton International Boat Show will find Princess Yachts on display at stand E055.
Boats on display
Y72
Designed by the Princess Design Studio in collaboration with naval architects Olesinski and Italian design house, Pininfarina, the Y72 encapsulates the quality and design language as seen on larger yachts in the range and takes it to the next generation.
The Y72 recently received 'Best Flybridge over 60ft' at the Motorboat and Yachting Awards 2022, quoted as "...showing that for all the glamour, polish and attention to detail of a modern Princess motoryacht, the shipyard still gets the formula right when it comes to seakeeping". Featuring the very latest in Princess exterior design and interior finishes, with beautifully sculpted exterior forms, the Y72 is fitted with expansive full-length hull windows, also seen on the highly anticipated flagship of the range, the Y95, due to launch later this year.
Indoor and outdoor living areas are optimised to create sociable yet practical spaces, whilst powerful twin MAN V12 1650mhp engines provide maximum speeds of up to 34 knots.
S66
The S66's sporting credentials are underlined by a lightweight deep-V hull coupled with the latest MAN V12-1400 engines to deliver 38 knots. Princess Design Studio's design language is evidenced by the sweeping panoramic glazing sections on both the hull and superstructure. Designed for outdoor lifestyles, the S66 offers generously appointed deck areas, which include a spacious foredeck seating area, whilst her hydraulic bathing platform and 3.3m tender garage become the perfect base for water sports.
V55
The V55 sports yacht nestles in the heart of the iconic V Class line-up. Her innovative V-shaped hull provides the foundation to the V55's agility and ability to deliver on a clear brief for the modern sports yacht owner's demands - elegance of form, quality of materials, perfect practicality and inspiring dynamics.
At the heart of the V hull's stability and predictability is the compact, efficient, highpower twin Volvo D13 engines that deliver up to 2,000 mhp combined and a top speed of over 35 knots. The result is an intoxicating combination of engine performance, physical dimensions and sea-keeping behaviour - classic V Class traits.
With new standards of refinement in interior fixtures, fittings and definition of space, and a striking exterior design language recognisable by the new exterior V Class windows and rakish profile, there is a clear purpose of design.
F55
The Princess F55 flybridge delivers magnificent performance and uncompromising comfort in equal measure. Designed for outdoor living, her flybridge features twin helm seats, a wetbar and ergonomic dining areas. Below deck, both the master stateroom and forward cabin feature large double beds whilst the starboard guest cabin with two single beds can also be converted in to a double. Together with its expansive saloon and hull windows, that flood each deck with light, this oasis of calm can then be propelled to a top speed approaching 34 knots.
F50
Core F Class qualities are at the heart of the new F50, with bespoke design qualities inside and out. The F50 features Princess' new exterior design language characterised by an extended knife-edge hull window running from the bow, plus the eradication of the central windscreen spear for increased visibility when boating.
The sociable cockpit connects to the sizeable aft galley to provide a seamless transition from outside to in, whilst patio doors open to the saloon - comprised of a large U-shaped seating area with convertible coffee/dining table; two-seater sofa; and a helm station featuring the latest Princess styling.
Up to six guests are accommodated on-board across three beautifully appointed cabins, two of which are en-suite. A cleverly designed flybridge offers ample room to enjoy the on water experience, with a U-shaped seating area, forward L-shaped seating which converts to a sunbed plus a well-equipped helm area with twin seats.
F45
The Princess F45 flybridge delivers unparalleled space, design quality and flexibility in a compact flybridge yacht that features a full-beam owner's cabin, extended flybridge and an optional electronically-controlled sliding transom, which increases the size of the cockpit area at the touch of a button by 60 cm.
Like its stablemates, the F45 is packed with technical innovations that ensure this compact yacht feels as spacious above deck as it does below. Together with its elegant full length hull windows, beautifully resolved surfacing, and unique design details, the F45 will establish itself as the benchmark small flybridge yacht.
