The highly anticipated Princess S80 was launched during the Cannes Yachting Festival. She is the 3rd 80- foot model in the Princess range and took centre stage in an impressive Princess line-up. So which Princess 80-foot yacht suits you?
When comparing the Princess X80, Princess Y80, and Princess S80, it’s clear that each yacht offers a distinct experience, catering to different tastes and lifestyles on the water. These models embody the brand’s commitment to luxury, craftsmanship, and performance, but they appeal to unique preferences. Whether you seek expansive living spaces, sporty performance, long-range cruising, or more crew, there’s an 80-foot yacht for every discerning buyer.
Andy Lawrence, Design Director for Princess Yachts explains, ‘Much consideration went into the innovative design of a hull that would be suitable to perform for an S Class sportsbridge yacht as well as a Y Class flybridge and an X Class mini superyacht.’
Princess S80: Sporty and Stylish Performance
The sportiest of the 80-foot yachts, the Princess S80 had her World Premiere in September 2024. Featuring a sleek, low-profile design, she provides performance and agility, with a sportbridge that enhances outdoor space without compromising on style. The S80 is the choice for those who love speed and excitement, with powerful engines that allow her to reach speeds of up to 34 knots.
While she’s more compact than the X80 and Y80, the S80 also offers luxurious surroundings, with a well-designed saloon, sunpads, and versatile seating areas. Its layout emphasizes outdoor living, making it ideal for sun-seekers and those who enjoy watersports.
Princess Y80: The Ultimate in Luxury and Comfort
The Princess Y80, part of the Y-Class, is the epitome of refined cruising. She focuses on delivering a spacious, luxurious experience, with expansive indoor and outdoor living areas. The Y80 features a large flybridge with dining space, sunpads, and a wet bar, offering an elegant setting for socializing or enjoying a meal alfresco. The interior is equally impressive, with a spacious saloon, large windows for natural light, and beautifully appointed cabins.
The Y80 is an elegant option for those who prioritize comfort during extended trips. While she can reach top speeds of around 30 knots, it’s designed more for smooth, comfortable cruising rather than high-speed thrills. Her elegant and functional layout makes it perfect for family vacations or entertaining guests in a sophisticated environment.
Princess X80: A Game-Changer in Space and Innovation
The award-winning Princess X80 is part of the X-Class, known for breaking new ground in yacht design by maximizing volume and space. With her superyacht-inspired features, the X80 offers the most indoor and outdoor living space of the three models. Her standout feature is the expansive sky lounge, on the the upper deck, providing a unique enclosed space that can be enjoyed by guests in all weather conditions, along with the helm area. This yacht also features a large open flybridge, dining spaces, sunpads, and a cockpit designed for entertaining guests in comfort and style. There is an option for a main deck forward owner’s stateroom with private sundeck.
In terms of cruising, the Princess X80 is built for long-range adventures, offering efficient cruising with excellent fuel capacity. Along with larger storage spaces, it’s perfect for yacht owners who want to explore further afield. The luxurious interior layout is ideal for long stays, boasting spacious cabins, a generous saloon, and high-end finishes throughout.
Whichever 80-foot Princess you choose, each yacht embodies the quality, craftsmanship and performance that Princess Yachts is renowned for.
