For a yard more used to evolution than revolution the new Princess X95 is a radical departure from the norm but how does it stack up as a boat?

Things have been a little different at Princess lately. A brisk wind of change has been blowing through the hallowed halls of Britain’s most quietly conservative boatbuilder since the arrival of executive chairman Anthony Sheriff, late of McLaren Cars, and chief marketing officer Kiran Haslam, who used to work for Bentley.

These gentlemen didn’t join the firm to take it easy, but to shake things up. The world is changing, the market is changing, and as old values and habits are held up to scrutiny, new approaches and ideas are ushered in. The Princess Yachts brand, they felt, was in danger of being left behind. The very image of yachting was moribund, incapable of attracting new blood, while boatbuilders squabbled over a dwindling customer base.

Enough was enough. Persuading someone to buy a Princess instead of an Azimut or a Sunseeker was no longer going to cut it. Now the goal was to persuade someone to buy a Princess instead of a third home, instead of a Barbara Hepworth, instead of a jet – someone who had never thought of buying a boat before.

It meant new thinking, new products, new technologies – a reinvention not just of the Princess brand, but of the whole idea of what a boat can be and do. No doubt some of the old guard at the shipyard found it all rather exhausting, but when the Princess R35 was unveiled in 2018, it suddenly became clear that these new chaps were serious.

Not only was the R35 unlike anything attempted before, but it worked. Here was a boat that used massive computing power, untried technology and a totally new hull concept based around active foils that allowed even a boating novice to drive like Don Aronow.

And now we have the Princess X95. It is perhaps a sign of the management’s growing confidence that there seems to have been almost no attempt to make it look like a boat. But looks have been no impediment whatsoever to sales – three have been delivered so far, and 12 sold, according to sales director Will Green. We caught up with Princess X95 number two at Princess’s Turnchapel base in Plymouth Harbour on a bright, blustery day. It towered over the pontoon.

Sunseeker 95 Yacht review: Stacking the decks – from the archive

The Sunseeker 95 Yacht only boasts an extra half deck over its 28m sister ship, but the affect is astonishing.

MCY 96 review: Opulent deck spaces cap off this superlative superyacht

It is of course a ‘widebody’ design, a concept very much in vogue at the moment, with a raised wheelhouse and a full-length main deck interior, capped by a flybridge that is pretty much full-length too. What sets it apart from its rivals is its phenomenally bold styling, which was designed by the Princess studio and refined by Pininfarina, where Antony Sheriff happens to hold a board directorship.

The X Factor

If you set aside your convictions about what a yacht should traditionally look like, the design actually works pretty harmoniously from every angle. The curves all communicate with each other.

The phenomenal quantities of tinted glass form assertive stripes to reduce – a little – the visual height. That raked windscreen looks serious and businesslike. The full-width upper deck provides a sheltering overhang for the side decks aft, and continues right forward to the stem, accentuating the triple-layered look and cheekily exaggerating the apparent size of the interior.

There is really no need to exaggerate when it comes to the Princess X95, inside or out. The hull is no beamier than it needs to be, and the lower deck layout has to make do with the same volume as any conventional 95-footer, but on both the main deck and flybridge, the impression of size is extraordinary.

On a sunny day, the undoubted star of the show is the flybridge, which has marvellously elevated relaxation areas forward and aft, with a variety of furnishing possibilities, including the option of a hot tub overlooking the bow. The cosy private skydeck saloon behind the helm station is such a pleasant place to sit that the main saloon below could start to feel like an extravagance.

Princess also offers plenty of choices on the main deck, whose forward section can be fitted out either as an open-plan galley and dining room, or as a private saloon and cinema.

On our five-cabin Princess X95, it was home to a comfortable L-shaped owner’s suite , brightened by substantial side windows and by another big one facing forward, albeit offering rather restricted views onto the foredeck. Headroom throughout the yacht is impressive – 6ft 10in (2.08m) in the master, and 6ft 8in (2.03) as a minimum pretty much everywhere else. The beds, too, are all full-size.

There is so much glass installed that I found myself wondering what it all weighs. Nowhere is its effect seen better than in the main saloon, with its full-height windows each side and glazed sliding doors into the cockpit. Access to the lower deck from here is down a straight companionway to a lobby at the centre of a conventional accommodation layout.

The substantial midships suite is the largest and most comfortable cabin on board, as of course it ought to be – in four-cabin versions of the Princess X95, this will serve as the master. There are also crew cabins in the stern, in various possible configurations, and the option of a beach club looking out over the aft platform, with its impressive ‘transformer’ – a huge, teak-laid section that cantilevers up, out, and down, extending some 20ft (6m) from the transom.

Driving the Princess X95

The X95’s hull has a short, vestigial wave-piercer at the bow which might contribute a little to low-speed efficiency, and might also help with smoothing the ride upwind, but otherwise, below the waterline, the X95’s lines are conventional and full-bodied, flattening out aft to provide plenty of lift.

Unlike almost every other area of the yacht, Princess offers no choice about what to put in the engineroom. This yacht is designed around a pair of 1,900hp MAN V12s, which sit in a bright and beautifully appointed machinery space, with excellent all-round access and full standing headroom.

Halyards in the marina jangled incessantly in the unseasonal south-easterly breeze, setting up that intimidating chorus which so often persuades us to wait for better weather before venturing out. As we made our way across the Sound and into the full force of the wind, we could see the effect it was having beyond the stone breakwater.

At 18 knots the Princess X95 has a range of 450nm; at 10 knots it’s over 2,000nm

Our Princess X95 was fitted with some excellent Sleipner fin stabilisers, and this was not a day to switch them off and see what happened. The waves didn’t look especially big from high up in the X95’s wheelhouse, but they were pretty steep, full of energy and closely spaced.

In these conditions it was hard to judge whether the small wavepiercer was achieving very much – heading upwind at 20 knots or so, any pitch-damping effect it might have been exerting was soon subsumed as the waves rolled over it and bore the bow up, while sheets of spray lashed the windscreen like a fire hose. The stabilisers certainly earned their keep.

Power games

The Princess X95 has plenty of power, and felt agile enough on the helm for such a big boat, but things don’t happen fast. With the seas on the beam, I was acutely aware of her top hamper – and couldn’t stop myself wondering again about the weight of all that glass – but the fins did their bit and the roll was well controlled. Downwind, and with the seas on the quarter, she handled and tracked with great confidence, and seemed happy to cruise on the plane at any speed from 16 knots up to her maximum.

It was an impressive display. With the wheelhouse so far forward, it felt a bit like driving a house – but beneath all the domestic comforts, there is clearly a hull that can be relied upon.

In flatter water we ran through our speed trials, recording a two-way maximum of 23.7 knots, which seemed pretty respectable and could certainly be bettered on a calmer day. Laden as she was with almost full tanks, she settled at three or four degrees bow-up, and ran comfortably with no need for any trim-tab adjustment.

Looking out of the windows was like watching a video – inside, all was calm and remarkably quiet. As we accelerated around Penlee Point, spray drenched the windscreen and the sunlit hillsides glowed with green and gold.

Price as reviewed:

£6,950,000.00 ex. VAT

The X95 experience reminded me of that other radically new Princess. When I arrived for my long-awaited sea trial of the R35 a couple of years ago, I had already done my homework. I had talked to the designers and engineers, read about the hardware and software, and understood the principles of its extraordinary trim system. This boat was cool, clever, carbon – but as I stood on the pontoon looking it over, I couldn’t help but wonder if it was also going to be fun. A similar hesitation surfaced as I stood listening to the wind howling through the halyards, craning my neck at the towering form of the Princess X95: what was this thing going to be like at sea? It turns out the answer to both questions was the same: I needn’t have worried.

This New 95-Foot Superyacht Is Like an Open-Plan Loft on the Water

Design-wise, the princess x95 is a rule-breaker. it's not only open and spacious inside, but also has an explorer hull for long-distance cruising., julia zaltzman, julia zaltzman's most recent stories.

Princess Yachts officially debuted its new X95 Monday on Facebook Live, a platform that has become a sign of these times—virtual launches, instead of real boats at boat shows. But the unusual design of the X-series’ flagship also signals changing times for Princess, showing a bolder, more creative period for the UK builder, which is now making new design rules instead of following them.

The X95—the “X” unofficially standing for explorer—is not only a sea change for Princess, but also for the 100-foot segment of the superyacht world. Princess’s goals for the X95 were an “open concept” and supersized flybridge, so owners would have greater freedom for layout choices, increased living space and more amenities in a smaller hull.

“We pushed the design language forward on this design,” Antony Sheriff, Princess chairman, said during a press conference last Thursday. “This was never going to be a traditional boat, but we asked ourselves how we could push it forward as a new design and still have it recognizable as a Princess.”

The X-95 has the same interior volume as a 115-foot yacht. It reaches a top speed of 24 knots, but, at 10 knots, has a range of 2000 miles.  Princess Yachts

The Princess team, working with its longtime naval architect Bernard Olesinski and Italian design house Pininfarina, spent months hammering out the initial concept. “We had everyone in the room during design reviews and that collaboration really stretched where we wanted to take the boat,” says Sheriff. “We also went into a level of detail that is standard in the auto industry, but not in the boating world.”

The details, both large and small, included making sure that exterior surfaces like the arch on the flybridge reflected light normally in all conditions. “Details like that make a big difference,” says Sheriff. “If the surface reflected light oddly at sundown, for instance, it would make that part of the yacht look off.”

There were even larger modifications to the interior. The designers decided to remove an internal helm and instead made the helm on the top deck the primary station for driving the yacht.

The sky lounge on the yacht offers excellent visibility, not only through the side windows, but also in the front and rear. Having this much space on the upper deck is a highly unusual design for a yacht this size. 

“The midway helm works for some, but it positions quite a large cockpit on the main deck, often leaving a small technical space beneath the helm position,” Andy Lawrence, Princess’s director of design told Robb Report . “By deleting the lower helm, owners can now use the main deck without interruption.”

In other words, instead of having a steering station in the middle of the room, owners can turn the long, unbroken space into a master suite, library, or cinema, or anything else that they fancy. Lawrence says this “open concept” provides 80-foot-long views from the rear of the boat all the way through the salon, up to the bow. That sense of openness is the same as an urban loft, where internal walls do not distort the view. Combine the sweeping space with an open-plan galley, Lawrence says, and the design becomes very popular with American yachtsmen.

“They like their open kitchen arrangements and to have the crew involved with the daily workings of the boat,” he says.

Room With a View: By taking out the helm station on the second deck, Princess designers could add a full-beam master suite with no structural impediments.  Princess Yachts

Beyond open space, supersizing interior volume was also a major design goal. The 670-foot interior is actually a 40 percent increase on comparable sized yachts . It’s even 200 square feet larger than the interior on Princess’ 114-foot model.

“Because you don’t have that helm hanging through the middle, we can play with different configurations and look at different usages,” says Lawrence.

Other big changes on the X95 include the sky lounge, which has been relocated to the top deck to optimize views. The beach club area also has a lounge area and galley which can either be used as guest space or extra crew cabin. Customized steps that extend backwards were added to the stern to turn the area into a transformer platform.

The designers paid very close attention to details on this yacht, including how light reflected off exterior surfaces at different times of the day. 

“It’s the first time we’ve used this kind of mechanism and it was made fully bespoke by Opacmare for us,” says Lawrence. “It’s about five feet wider than the biggest one they make, so it was quite a piece of engineering—and probably took about as long to develop as the rest of the boat.”

Increased efficiencies were designed into the X95. Deck space was increased by 10 percent, thanks to the “super flybridge,” which, unlike conventional flybridge models, is one continuous level. The new hull design offers 15 percent increased efficiency while running.

The unusual configuration includes a large foredeck on the top level. 

Naval architect Olesinski’s wave-piercing bow “artificially extends the waterline length of the boat,” says Lawrence. “Combined with the shape of the hull, that’s what gives you the efficiency.”

The yacht will have a range of 2,000 miles at a 10-knot cruising speed, but it also reaches a highly respectable top end of 24 knots.

The first X95 has been delivered and the owners are enjoying a shakedown cruise in the Med. Annie Reed of the Princess Design Studio said so much open interior spaces allows owners many ways to configure the yacht. Hull number one has book shelves on the main deck so the owner can keep his prized library on board. By contrast, the second boat will have floor-to-ceiling windows to allow in more light. “It’s those kinds of requests that the Princess Design Studio works well with,” she said. “It’s part of our ability to understand different international lifestyles.”

The open galley area allows clear line of sight from the rear cockpit up to the forward section of the main deck.  Princess Yachts

Sheriff, who came to Princess after running automobile manufacturer McLaren, says an X80 will be next in its X series. “This product stands on its own feet,” he said “It’s a really compelling recipe—significantly more interior volume and extended range. This product is a very different option for our customers.”

“It’s always good to have someone coming from outside the industry with fresh eyes to just look at what you’re doing and ask questions,” says Lawrence, regarding Sheriff. “Why do you do it like that? Why do people use the flybridge in that manner? I think it was a result of those questions that pushed us to come up with this new concept.”

With ten X95 models sold to different owners around the world, it would seem that the theory is working.

The 29.1m/95ft motor yacht PRINCESS X95 was designed by Bernard Olesinski to be built at Princess shipyard. With a beam of 6.77m/22.3ft, she offers luxurious accommodation for up to 10 guests.

NOTABLE FEATURES OF PRINCESS X95: ~Wave-piercing bow ~Versatile layout options ~Cutting-edge technology ~Abundance of lounging options ~Main salon wet bar ~Well-proportioned en-suite cabins ~Top speed of up to 26 knots ~Air conditioning ~Wi-Fi

The main deck aft comes with the option of a casual alfresco lounge along the stern consisting of a sofa, two armchairs and a coffee table, or an elevated table for larger meals. Forward to port there is room for a bar. Two stairways connect to the deep swim platform below where guests can sunbathe or get ready the water toys, and the main deck aft also has a starboard stairway connecting to the flybridge above.

The flybridge allows owners to choose between sun loungers or additional seating along the stern, with a crane for the launch and retrieval of any motorised water toys. The rest of the aft section is furnished with sofas, armchairs and drinks tables for unwinding with the sweeping views. Forward of the outdoor lounge is the large circular alfresco dining table to seat 10, and side walkways lead around to the foredeck which is fitted with a C-shaped sofa and drinks table, and the choice of a broad sunbed or a Jacuzzi.

The lower deck places the guest accommodation forward and amidships, followed by the engine room and the crew accommodation, with the stern providing the option of a tender garage or beach club.

Princess Yachts reveals X90 yacht model with new cockpit design

British yard Princess Yachts has announced the latest addition to its X Class series, known as the X90. The 27.4-metre model will sit between the 24.3-metre X80 and the series flagship, the X95 Vista. Launch is anticipated for 2026.

The new model stands out from other yachts in the range with her low, open-plan cockpit, designed with a glass transom and folding bulwark balconies that extend the space and provide 180 degree views "whether standing or seated". The rest of the space is arranged with sofa seating, a wet bar and an optional television.

Accommodation is across three double cabins, including an owner's suite forward of the main deck and benefitting from 180-degree glazing. An optional gullwing door can provide private access to the foredeck terrace, which houses deck gear when not in use. The main deck also features the galley which can be customised to be open to the main saloon with a sociable breakfast bar or fully enclosed.  In a first for the shipyard, the X90 features curved patio doors that connect the cockpit to the main saloon and, when opened, turn the formal, 10-person dining table al fresco.

Meanwhile, the flybridge features the range's signature skylounge with sofa seating to port and starboard and the option to fit an 85-inch television screen. Sliding doors lead to the enclosed wheelhouse, while an al fresco dining table can be found aft. There aft deck is one of the model's most customisable spaces, including the option to instal a spa bath, a bar, a tender crane or a clear space for modular furniture.

The final outdoor hub is the flybridge foredeck, which features forward and aft facing seating areas and a coffee table which can be converted to sunloungers by flipping the backrest.

The X90 will be able to reach a maximum speed of 28 knots.

According to BOATPro , Princess Yachts has 18 yachts on order or currently under construction. The shipyard is currently debuting the first S80 – the flagship of its S Class range – at this year's Cannes Yachting Festival .

Revisit the Launch of the Princess X95

Friday 21st August 2020

Last month saw the live launch on Facebook of the Princess X95.  This was an industry first, which saw a virtual launch of this flagship yacht unusually through social media channels.  The event took place over a couple of hours during which viewers had the unique opportunity to experience a virtual tour of the X95, both inside and out, and pose questions about its construction to the Princess panel.

The X95 is the first of a flagship range of yachts.  It establishes a new ‘Superfly’ X Class, re-imagining the concept of the flybridge yacht by creating more extensive outdoor space and an innovative configuration that makes the most of every inch of space on board.  The design is a collaboration between Bernard Olesinski and legendary Italian styling house Pininfarina. The new hull, designed exclusively by Olesinski, evolves the original deep-V concept to provide 15% improved efficiency along with outstanding stability and sea-keeping.

Both main and fly decks extend virtually the entire length of the yacht. Allied to an enclosed, climate-controlled Sky Lounge and flexible open-plan layout, the X95 combines the space and luxury of a superyacht with the range and purpose of a compact explorer vessel. In fact, with its high superstructure and vast glass panels, the exterior design feels like the pioneer for a brand new form of motor yacht.

For those who missed the live launch, the event is still available to view on the Princess Facebook page , or from this direct link.

Princess Yachts are immensely proud of the X95, a striking new addition to the range, as she boldly re-writes the rules of yacht design, and they are thrilled to have been able to share her launch through digital means, in this truly unique manner.

The first edition is now enjoying its maiden voyage accompanied by a member of the Princess Motor Yacht Sales team!  If you’d like find out more about the Princess X95, visit our pages here .
