Princess Yachts 50-year history in photos

To celebrate 50 years of Princess Yachts, we’ve been taking a look back at some of the Plymouth yard's most historic models

Princess Yachts is celebrating its 50th birthday in 2015. And to mark this major milestone we’ve been taking a look back at some of the company’s greatest hits.

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.

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.

Eleven 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.

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.

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.

From Marine Projects to Princess Yachts International

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.

And in 2008 a buyout by L Capital allowed further expansion, taking the Princess range over the 100ft mark for the first time.

However, the latest new vessel to be launched is the Princess 68 – our cover star for March .

But with founder David King still at the helm, there’s plenty more to come.

Princess has hinted at further launches in the Flybridge, V-Class and S-Class ranges in 2015. Here’s to 50 more years!

With every inch of space utilised whilst ensuring light open spaces throughout each deck, the new Y72 houses design features comparable to larger Y Class yachts. Flexibility is key on board, with adaptable fixtures and fittings to suit you – her sociable layout within the main saloon combines a bar area and open plan galley, complemented by a state-of-the-art Naim audio system. Open up to the world with glass sliding doors between the main saloon and cockpit areas with an integrated opening window aft of the galley. Enjoy water sports with ease with her large transom featuring a foldaway swim ladder and shower. Modern and classic tones matched with light woods and panoramic windows creates an enviable onboard space to while away those long summer days.

Below deck, eight guests are comfortably accommodated across four cabins, each with their own accessible ensuite. The full beam master stateroom takes pride of place with its own private entrance via spiral staircase from the saloon – with ample storage space, a large ensuite bathroom plus a 49″ LED TV with Naim audio, luxury can be experienced on board. Further aft there is a crew or optional guest cabin, featuring two single berths and a private ensuite.

The all-new Princess Y72 benefits from a new hull form designed and engineered by Princess Yachts. This design delivers improved fuel efficiency and performance, maximises the space on board and retains premium guest comfort whatever the sea conditions.

These next-generation superyachts are set to make waves

In the wake of the Monaco Yacht Show 2021, a new fleet of concept yachts sets sail, promising hydrogen power, virtual command centres and glass-bottomed pools – ready the retractable helipad, we're on our way

• Sign up to our newsletter Newsletter

It came as no surprise to discover that the Monaco Yacht Show 2021 was a tad more subdued than in the past. The cancellation of the 2020 event threw a spanner in the complex nautical logistics required to see the global fleet of superyachts sail from one charter hotspot to another, taking in the key events along the way. That said, the industry is hardly reeling. One of the knock-on effects of the pandemic era is that the rich have continued to get richer, often dramatically so. As a result, the yacht -building world and its many affiliate and spin-off industries are steaming ahead like there’s no tomorrow.

The first six months of 2020 were hard, but demand roared back and now charter and brokerage are bucking all economic trends. Traditionally, shipyards and yacht designers tend to launch a fleet of conceptual visions at this point in the season in order to tempt owners to upgrade, or nautical novices to take the plunge for the first time. Here is our selection of the latest yacht concepts, revealing what’s projected for the years to come.

New horizons for superyachts

Feadship pure.

At 81.75m, Dutch shipyard Feadship’s proposed Pure is a sizeable yacht with a minimal ethos. Penned by Studio De Voogt in collaboration with Feadship’s in-house ‘Knowledge and Innovation’ department, Pure pushes the boundaries of what’s needed to run a superyacht. The conventional bridge has been replaced by a virtual ‘command centre’, freeing up the upper superstructure for more leisure space, while the smooth, seamless lines maximise the feeling of space. The shipyard claims everything is feasible and work could start tomorrow.

Oceanco Kairos

The Kairos is a collaboration between shipbuilder Oceanco, designer Pininfarina and engineers at Lateral. Combining a hybrid powerplant with an asymmetrical superstructure, the yacht is organised around a central ‘piazza’, an inside-outside space spanning the width of the hull. The ambitious design, part of Oceanco’s NXT future initiative, is intended to lure younger and more dynamic customers into the industry, people who aren’t turned on by traditional superyachts.

Tankoa T760 Apache

The glass-bottomed swimming pool has become a polarising symbol of excess in recent months, so it’s hardly surprising to find them showing up in concept superyachts. The Tankoa T760 Apache is a proposal by designer Alberto Mancini for the Italian company. The 76m yacht is made from steel and aluminium, with not one but two pools, including the 9.5m glass-bottomed one that oversails the gym and seating area.

MM770 Concept 

Another yacht concept that pushes an architectural angle, the MM770 is a design collaboration between two Hampshire-based yacht studios, Malcolm McKeon Yacht Design and Mark Whiteley Design. Working alongside Feadship to ensure the design was production-ready, the two teams have created a substantial superyacht with a crew of 15. The rear beach club is expanded by the folding side bulwarks, and the onboard gym and spa connects the swim platforms directly to the guest accommodation.

The rise of the support ship is one of the more contentious superyacht design trends; to facilitate sleek, elegant boats with expansive deck space, a whole industry has grown up to create secondary vessels that tail along behind, bearing ‘toys’ like jet skis, submarines and powerboats, as well as space to house a helicopter and additional crew. ShadowCAT’s ToyBox concept maximises the available storage with its catamaran hull, cramming the complement of kit into its relatively compact 48m length.

Portuguese company Faro Boats believes it is offering the first ever electric boat and solar charging dock, a combo set to transform remote docking spots. The compact 5m speed boat seats up to five and is designed to be paired with the panel-topped floating dock . This contains batteries and an access point and can be used to raise the Faro out of the water for maintenance as well as provide a charge.

Sorgiovanni Designs ZeRO

A far more futuristic proposal from Sorgiovanni Designs, the ZeRO is a superyacht for the as-yet uncharted hydrogen era. At 94m, the ZeRO concept is on the large side of the superyacht spectrum, with space for a retractable helipad at the bow, and four tiers of rear decks stepping down to the water. The proposed electric power unit is driven by hydrogen fuel cells and conventional batteries.
