60 years of Distinction in Detail: A legacy of luxury boatbuilding at Princess Yachts

Our founder, David King, takes us back to where it all began—when a shared passion for the sea with two friends led to the creation of Project 31, our very first boat.

Discover how our in-house vertical integration and resulting passion for craftsmanship has become our greatest strength. From design to finished detail, it's the people and skills behind each Princess yacht that make the difference.

Designing a Legacy — takes you inside the design and innovation at the heart of every Princess. From hand-drawn sketches to advanced technology, this episode offers a rare glimpse into how our yachts are crafted with precision, passion, and purpose.

Step inside the craftsmanship and creativity that bring our beautifully crafted interiors to life — a hallmark of our yachts and a defining part of our heritage. Watch now and discover the artistry behind every detail.

For 60 years, Princess Yachts has grown alongside the city we call home. This episode of our anniversary mini-series celebrates our deep roots in the Plymouth community and the growth we have shared together. We know we wouldn’t be who we are today without the talent, support and spirit of this remarkable city. Which is why we’re committed partners too, supporting education, sport, the arts and working with local charities and civic leaders to help this remarkable city and its people thrive.

For 60 years, our story has been shaped not only by the yachts we build, but how and where we share them with the world.

In this latest episode of our 60th Anniversary Documentary Series, we explore the role of boat shows and their enduring importance to our brand strategy. From global launches to intimate client moments, boat shows have long been an important stage on which to showcase our craft.

As part of our 60th anniversary series, we asked our guests to choose their favourite Princess, past or present, and share why it means so much to them.

From iconic designs to personal memories, this episode celebrates the yachts that have shaped six decades of Princess.

Our 60th Anniversary series concludes by looking ahead. CEO Will Green shares his vision for the future of the business, while founder David King offers a thoughtful reflection on the journey so far and the principles that continue to guide us.

We’re proud to share our full-length 60th anniversary documentary, a 30-minute film telling the story of Princess through the voices of our founder David King and just some of the many people that have helped make the brand what it is is today.

While created to mark 60 years, this isn’t a film about looking back. It’s about the principles that have built Princess and how they continue to guide us as we move into the next 60 years.
