SHERIDAN, WYOMING – July 11, 2024 – Princess Yachts, the UK's leading luxury yacht manufacturer, is proud to announce the world premiere of two highly anticipated S Class yachts at the prestigious Cannes Yachting Festival 2024. The all-new Princess S80 and S65 will make their debut alongside six other exceptional Princess models at Jetee 114 Vieux Port, showcasing the brand's unwavering commitment to innovation, performance, and bespoke craftsmanship.
Princess S80: Redefining Sporty Luxury
The Princess S80, the new flagship of the acclaimed S Class range, redefines the concept of sporty luxury. This elegant yet dynamic yacht boasts a sleek, low-profile exterior that seamlessly blends with spacious open-plan layouts and thoughtfully integrated indoor and outdoor living areas. The S80's innovative design maximizes on-water enjoyment, featuring a distinctive central cockpit access, expansive sunpads that are the largest ever seen on an S Class yacht, and a configurable cockpit seating area that invites relaxation and socializing. The main deck saloon, flooded with natural light from panoramic windows, offers a tranquil haven with a plush C-shaped sofa and a state-of-the-art helm station. Below deck, four en-suite cabins, including a full-beam master stateroom with soft organic furnishings, complemented by accents and finishes of natural timber, provide unparalleled comfort and luxury. An optional sliding roof spans the width of the main deck, allowing the sea breeze to flow through the saloon and further connecting the indoor and outdoor living areas. The foredeck terrace, a popular feature from previous Princess models, continues to adapt to owners' lifestyles with two U-shaped seating areas plus a sunpad conversion, creating a perfect space for lounging and taking in the fresh sea air.
Stepping up to the sportsbridge, guests are greeted by another impressive outdoor living space. The 28.7 square meter sportsbridge boasts multiple seating areas, a wetbar with barbecue and generous refrigeration, a converting dining table, and an outdoor TV on a rise and fall mechanism, ensuring there's a perfect spot for everyone to enjoy the yachting experience. Equipped with MAN V12 engines capable of reaching speeds up to 34 knots, the S80 is a true performer. The yacht's optional 7,000-liter fuel tank ensures extended cruising range, while vector fin and gyro stabilization options provide exceptional control and comfort in various sea conditions.
Princess S65: Where Thrill Meets Elegance
The Princess S65, a head-turning addition to the S Class range, perfectly embodies the brand's signature blend of sporty style and luxurious comfort. Its sleek, low-profile exterior design, accentuated by the powerful bulwark haunches, hints at the exhilarating performance that awaits below deck. However, the S65 is more than just a thrill ride. Carefully considered design elements ensure that every aspect of the yacht, from the expansive cockpit to the meticulously crafted interior, caters to a love for the yachting lifestyle.
The generous cockpit seamlessly integrates with the saloon, creating a truly open and inviting space. The large sunpad aft is the perfect spot for soaking up the sun, while the versatile seating and dining arrangements offer endless possibilities for relaxation and entertainment. An upswinging door seamlessly connects the cockpit to the well-equipped galley, featuring a full-height fridge/freezer and twin sinks, ensuring that preparing and enjoying delicious meals is effortless. Moving into the saloon, guests are greeted by a serene and adaptable space designed for ultimate comfort. A plush sofa, coffee table, and sideboard unit provide the perfect setting for socializing, while ample storage ensures everything has its place. The meticulous attention to detail extends to the helm station, which offers unparalleled views and puts all controls within easy reach of the captain.
