The Princess 80-foot range: Three distinct yachts, one exceptional hull

Published in Brand on

Since the debut of the X80 in 2022, the multi-award-winning Princess 80-foot family has become one of the shipyard’s most successful 24m+ model lines, with more than 60 yachts built and sold in just a few years. Their success is rooted in a shared, highly capable platform with an efficient and versatile deep-V hull paired with a sumptuous lower deck featuring four beautifully appointed ensuite cabins, all engineered to support three remarkably different yacht concepts.

From the performance-focused S Class to the expansive X Class and the elegantly balanced Y Class, Princess Yachts showcases how a single advanced hull can deliver three distinct onboard experiences: exhilarating performance, generous volume, and timeless luxury. With an 80-foot range, each model highlights the full breadth of Princess design, innovation, and seakeeping excellence.

S80 – Athletic performance, elevated outdoor living

The S80 is the sportbridge flagship of the S Class. Dynamic, sleek and created for owners who love the thrill of driving a performance yacht.

Key features

• Expansive, three-zone cockpit:  The aft deck offers distinct sunbathing, lounging and dining spaces, each designed to bring guests closer to the water. This flowing arrangement makes the cockpit one of the most sociable exterior spaces ever conceived on a Princess S Class yacht

• Exceptional water interaction: The expansive bathing platform and tender garage provide effortless access to the sea, making launching water toys and tenders seamless, while perfectly enhancing the S80’s close-to-the-water lifestyle

• Sportbridge living: A low-profile, stylish sportbridge with sunpads, dining and an upper helm provide the benefits of a flybridge whilst maintaining the sleek profile of a sports yacht

• Contemporary open-plan interior: Panoramic glazing, architectural lines and a vast opening sunroof define its modern aesthetic

• Agile, exhilarating handling: Benefiting from the shared hull’s efficiency, the S80 delivers exceptional performance for a yacht of its size with confidence-inspiring control and agility.

X80 – Maximum volume, maximum flexibility

The X80 pushes the boundaries of space and capability in an 80-foot yacht, offering unparalleled interior volume with long-range cruising in mind.

Key features

• Optional main deck master suite: One of the most innovative features in this size category. The X80 can be configured with a stunning main deck master cabin complete with private access to the foredeck terrace. Enabling a true five-cabin yacht, a layout rarely seen at 80-feet

• Enclosed sky lounge: The enclosed flybridge creates a climate-controlled upper deck for all-weather cruising while retaining an open terrace aft complete with dining and lounge seating

• Superyacht-like volume: The enclosed upper helm delivers an expansive main deck and upper skylounge providing a near superyacht feel

• Multiple social zones: Spacious aft cockpit, foredeck terrace, main deck saloon and upper skylounge, and a vast upper deck providing an al-fresco entertaining fore and aft

Y80 – The essence of Princess elegance

One hull. Three distinct experiences. Unlimited adventure.

By developing three distinct yachts on one exceptional hull platform, Princess has created a range that delivers proven efficiency, stability and three unique superstructure concepts, each crafted for a radically different onboard lifestyle. This versatility, spanning sportbridge, flybridge and super-volume formats, has made the Princess 80-foot range one of the most successful yacht families in the shipyard’s history.
