Top 10 Princess Yacht Models 2027
Top 10 Princess Yacht Models 2027
Direct Answer
The Best Overall Princess for 2027 is the Princess Y72, a roughly £3.9 million (about $4.95 million) flybridge motor yacht whose 72-foot LOA, twin MAN V8 1,400-hp diesels, and three-stateroom layout deliver the most complete blend of range, comfort, and resale in the lineup.
The Best Value pick is the Princess F50, starting near £1.25 million (about $1.6 million), which packs a true three-cabin flybridge cruiser and twin Volvo Penta IPS drives into the most affordable rung of the modern range. This list is built for owner-operator cruisers and charter buyers who want long-distance comfort, a private flybridge, and genuine bluewater build quality — whether the budget sits near $1.6 million or stretches toward a $13 million flagship.
Every pick below uses real model-year specs, approximate MSRPs, and published Princess data.
How We Ranked the Top 10
We weighted each Princess against what real buyers and brokers say drives a yacht purchase, leaning on published figures from Princess Yachts, Yachting, Power & Motoryacht, BoatTEST, boats.com, and Boating Magazine. The weighting:
- Build quality and reliability — 25%
- On-water performance and range — 20%
- Value and price — 15%
- Comfort and layout — 15%
- Features and tech — 15%
- Resale — 10%
A yacht that nails styling but skimps on sea-keeping, or wins on horsepower but bleeds value at brokerage, drops fast. The winners balance all six.
1. Princess Y72 🏆 BEST OVERALL
Starting MSRP: $4,950,000 | Best for: Owners who want the complete flybridge cruiser
The Princess Y72 is the most complete yacht in the range. It measures 72 ft 2 in LOA with an 18 ft 1 in beam, rides a deep-V planing hull, and carries roughly 1,200 gallons of fuel for a comfortable cruising range. Twin MAN V8 1,400-hp diesels push it to about 32 knots top end and a relaxed 22-knot cruise, with a 9 ft draft kept modest by a shaft-drive arrangement.
Below, a three- or four-stateroom layout sleeps up to eight guests plus crew, and the full-beam owner's suite, hydraulic bathing platform, and enormous flybridge with wet bar make it a genuine long-weekend home afloat. Princess's hand-laid GRP build and joinery are the class benchmark.
Pros:
- Twin MAN 1,400-hp diesels for a confident 32-knot top end
- Full-beam owner's suite with private dressing area
- Huge flybridge with hardtop, wet bar, and dual helm seating
- Strong brokerage resale and proven build quality
Cons:
- Near-$5 million entry puts it out of casual reach
- Crew cabin is tight for full-time live-aboard staff
Verdict: The Y72 wins on balance — range, comfort, build, and resale with no real weak spot.
2. Princess F50 💎 BEST VALUE
Starting MSRP: $1,600,000 | Best for: First-time flybridge buyers who want maximum yacht per dollar
The Princess F50 is the smartest value play in the modern range. At 51 ft 1 in LOA with a 14 ft 9 in beam, it carries about 555 gallons of fuel and rides twin Volvo Penta IPS650 (2 x 480 hp) pod drives for an easy joystick docking experience and roughly 32 knots top speed.
A three-stateroom, two-head layout sleeps six guests, and the open-plan saloon, galley-aft option, and surprisingly large flybridge punch well above the price. Its modest draft of about 4 ft and IPS efficiency make it the easiest Princess to own and run short-handed.
Pros:
- Lowest entry price of any current Princess flybridge at $1.6 million
- Volvo IPS pods give effortless joystick docking and efficiency
- Three real staterooms in a sub-52-foot package
- Large flybridge and full Princess build quality
Cons:
- Range trails the bigger MAN-powered models
- Crew accommodation is optional and very compact
Verdict: The F50 is the value champion — a true three-cabin flybridge cruiser at the lineup's lowest sticker.
3. Princess Y80
Starting MSRP: $6,800,000 | Best for: Owners stepping up to superyacht-grade space
The Princess Y80 is where the range starts to feel like a small superyacht. It stretches 78 ft 5 in LOA on a 19 ft 1 in beam, carries roughly 1,450 gallons of fuel, and rides twin MAN V12 1,650-hp or 1,800-hp diesels for a top end near 34 knots. The four- or five-stateroom interior sleeps eight to ten guests, with a full-beam owner's suite amidships and a dedicated crew area for two.
A vast flybridge with a hot tub option, a hydraulic transom, and a forward sunpad terrace make the Y80 a serious entertaining platform. Build quality and joinery remain top-tier.
Pros:
- Available MAN V12 1,800-hp diesels for 34-knot performance
- Amidships full-beam owner's suite with panoramic glazing
- Massive flybridge with optional hot tub and sun terrace
- Dedicated crew quarters for live-aboard operation
Cons:
- Running costs climb sharply with twin V12 power
- Berth availability for an 80-footer is limited in many marinas
Verdict: A near-superyacht for owners who want crew-served space without crossing into custom-build territory.
4. Princess Y95
Starting MSRP: $13,000,000 | Best for: Buyers who want the range flagship
The Princess Y95 is the lineup's flagship motor yacht. It measures about 96 ft 1 in LOA on a 22 ft 6 in beam, carries roughly 2,100 gallons of fuel, and rides twin MTU 12V 2000 (2 x 1,920 hp) diesels for a top speed near 24 knots and long-legged cruising. The interior offers five staterooms for ten guests plus berths for four to five crew, with a sky-lounge flybridge, a beach club at the transom, and full walk-around side decks.
This is the model that bridges Princess's production excellence with custom-yacht presence.
Pros:
- Twin MTU diesels and a true five-stateroom, ten-guest layout
- Sky-lounge flybridge plus a transom beach club
- Crew quarters for up to five for full live-aboard service
- Flagship presence with Princess production reliability
Cons:
- $13 million entry and superyacht-level running costs
- Requires professional crew for serious use
Verdict: The flagship — buy it when you want superyacht space and amenities under the Princess badge.
5. Princess S65
Starting MSRP: $3,200,000 | Best for: Performance-minded owners who want a sportier coupe
The Princess S65 is the sport-yacht alternative to the flybridge models. At 64 ft 10 in LOA with a 16 ft 4 in beam, it carries about 925 gallons of fuel and rides twin MAN V8 1,300-hp diesels for a brisk 35-knot-plus top end. The sleek coupe profile hides a sliding sunroof and a sociable cockpit, while the three-stateroom interior sleeps six guests in a light, contemporary saloon.
With a draft near 5 ft and a lower, more aggressive stance than the flybridge boats, the S65 trades the upper deck for pace and style.
Pros:
- Twin MAN 1,300-hp diesels for a 35-knot-plus top end
- Sleek sport-coupe styling with a large sliding sunroof
- Sociable single-level main deck and cockpit
- Three full staterooms in a sport package
Cons:
- No flybridge, so upper-deck lounging is sacrificed
- Sportier ride trades some all-weather comfort
Verdict: The pace pick — choose it for coupe style and speed over a second deck.
6. Princess F62
Starting MSRP: $2,600,000 | Best for: Couples and families wanting a mid-size flybridge
The Princess F62 slots neatly between the F55 and the larger flybridge boats. It measures 63 ft 7 in LOA on a 16 ft 3 in beam, carries roughly 800 gallons of fuel, and rides twin MAN V8 1,200-hp diesels for a top speed near 32 knots. The three-stateroom, three-head layout sleeps six guests, with a full-beam owner's suite and a bright saloon.
A spacious flybridge with optional hardtop and wet bar, plus a hydraulic bathing platform, make the F62 an ideal mid-size family cruiser that still feels substantial at the dock.
Pros:
- Full-beam owner's suite uncommon at this size
- Twin MAN 1,200-hp diesels for an easy 32-knot top end
- Generous flybridge with optional hardtop and bar
- Hydraulic bathing platform for tender and toy stowage
Cons:
- Pricing overlaps closely with the larger F55 in some markets
- Crew cabin is optional and compact
Verdict: A well-judged mid-size flybridge — a sweet spot for families who want owner's-suite comfort.
7. Princess F55
Starting MSRP: $2,100,000 | Best for: Owners who want a compact full-feature flybridge
The Princess F55 delivers a remarkable amount of yacht in a sub-58-foot hull. It measures 57 ft 9 in LOA with a 15 ft 5 in beam, carries about 660 gallons of fuel, and rides twin Volvo Penta IPS950 (2 x 725 hp) pods or shaft-drive MAN options for a top end near 32 knots.
The three-stateroom interior sleeps six guests, and the flexible saloon, galley-aft option, and large flybridge make it feel far bigger than its length suggests. IPS efficiency and joystick control keep running costs and docking stress low.
Pros:
- Volvo IPS pods for efficiency and joystick docking
- Three staterooms and flexible galley placement
- Large flybridge with optional hardtop
- Big-boat feel in a manageable sub-58-foot package
Cons:
- Range trails the larger MAN-powered flybridge models
- Top-deck space is good but not class-leading
Verdict: A clever compact flybridge — strong for owners who want big-boat features without big-boat length.
8. Princess V60
Starting MSRP: $2,400,000 | Best for: Day-cruising and weekending sport buyers
The Princess V60 is a sport cruiser built around the open cockpit and a sliding hardtop rather than a flybridge. At 60 ft 1 in LOA with a 15 ft 8 in beam, it carries about 740 gallons of fuel and rides twin MAN V8 1,200-hp diesels for a top speed near 35 knots.
The three-stateroom interior sleeps six guests, while the expansive cockpit, fold-out bathing platform, and electric sunroof make it a superb warm-weather entertainer. With a draft near 4 ft 6 in, the V60 is happy in shallow anchorages and lively at speed.
Pros:
- Twin MAN 1,200-hp diesels for a 35-knot top end
- Large sociable cockpit with electric sliding sunroof
- Three staterooms in a sport-cruiser footprint
- Fold-out bathing platform for swimming and toys
Cons:
- No flybridge limits all-weather lounging
- Sport focus trims interior volume versus a flybridge sibling
Verdict: The warm-weather entertainer — pick it for open-cockpit day cruising over a second deck.
9. Princess V50
Starting MSRP: $1,500,000 | Best for: Entry sport-cruiser buyers who value pace and style
The Princess V50 is the accessible end of the V-Class sport range. It measures 50 ft 4 in LOA on a 13 ft 9 in beam, carries about 475 gallons of fuel, and rides twin Volvo Penta IPS650 (2 x 480 hp) pods or shaft MAN options for a top end near 35 knots. The two- or three-stateroom layout sleeps four to six guests, with a bright saloon, a sociable cockpit, and an electric sunroof.
Easy to handle short-handed thanks to IPS joystick control, the V50 is a stylish weekender for couples and small families.
Pros:
- Volvo IPS pods for a 35-knot top end and easy docking
- Electric sunroof and open cockpit for sun-soaked cruising
- Up to three staterooms in a sub-51-foot sport hull
- Among the most affordable Princess models to own
Cons:
- Smaller fuel load limits long passages
- Two-cabin base layout may feel tight for families of four-plus
Verdict: A stylish entry weekender — ideal for couples wanting Princess pace and polish on a tighter budget.
10. Princess X80
Starting MSRP: $8,200,000 | Best for: Owners who want maximum volume and a Super Flybridge
The Princess X80 headlines the brand's X-Class, which trades a little top speed for enormous interior volume. It measures 78 ft 9 in LOA on a generous 20 ft 4 in beam, carries roughly 1,580 gallons of fuel, and rides twin MAN V8 1,400-hp diesels for an efficient cruise and a top end near 28 knots.
The signature Super Flybridge wraps around a vast, glazed upper deck, and the four- or five-stateroom interior sleeps eight to ten guests plus crew. With walk-around side decks and panoramic glazing, the X80 feels like a far longer yacht inside.
Pros:
- Signature Super Flybridge with vast glazed upper deck
- 20 ft 4 in beam delivers exceptional interior volume
- Four- or five-stateroom layout with crew quarters
- Efficient cruise from twin MAN 1,400-hp diesels
Cons:
- Lower top speed than equivalent-length flybridge models
- Wide beam complicates berthing in tighter marinas
Verdict: The volume champion — choose it when interior space and the Super Flybridge matter more than outright pace.
Buyer Decision Tree — Which One's Right for You?
What to Look For When Buying a Motor Yacht
- Build quality and brokerage value — A hand-laid GRP hull and quality joinery hold value and avoid costly osmosis or delamination repairs. Princess, Sunseeker, and Sanlorenzo lead here.
- Drive system fit — Volvo Penta IPS pods cut fuel use and ease docking on smaller models; MAN and MTU shaft-drive diesels suit bigger, longer-range yachts. Match the system to your cruising plan.
- Real range and fuel load — Check published fuel capacity against your typical passages. A 1,200-gallon tank and efficient cruise matter far more than a headline top speed you rarely use.
- Flybridge vs sport coupe — Decide whether a second lounging deck or a sleeker open cockpit suits your climate and crew. The Y- and F-Class add a flybridge; the V- and S-Class trade it for pace and style.
- Crew and live-aboard needs — Above roughly 70 feet, dedicated crew quarters become essential; confirm berth count and access if you plan professional operation.
- Berth and draft reality — Confirm your marina can take the LOA, beam, and draft before you fall for an 80-footer that will not fit your home slip.
What matters less than marketing implies: headline top speed, the largest possible touchscreen at the helm, and badge prestige alone. Sea-keeping, build integrity, fuel range, and resale affect your wallet and enjoyment far more than a couple of extra knots.
