NEW PRINCESS FLAGSHIP

by admin

The Princess S80 is the all-new flagship of the Princess Yachts S Class range.

Princess Yachts announce the latest edition to their S Class sportbridge range, the all-new Princess S80. Featuring Princess’ latest sweeping design language, the S80 is designed by the in-house Princess Design Studio in collaboration with naval architects Olesinski and Italian design house, Pininfarina.

The versatile layout of the all-new S80 allows her to be managed as an owner operated vessel with a vast open saloon and raised helm or discreetly crewed, with the option of an enclosed helm plus crew accommodation for up to three.

Full length windows flow along the main deck, extending either side of the cockpit canopy to provide a sheltered area from the sun. High bulwarks complete with oval stainless-steel rails, vast teak laid deck, and tailored natural materials define the flagship status of this new S Class model, blending luxurious and contemporary finishes in perfect harmony.

The Princess S80 is a Princess above all else with a distinct S Class personality defined by its S hull graphic, strong graphical canopy features and powerful bulwark haunches.

As you approach the S80, she is instantly recognisable from her distinctive central cockpit access. The cockpit and transom have been designed to maximise on-water enjoyment, with a garage to port side with Williams tender launch system, capable of holding up to a Williams SportJet 435 plus an electro-hydraulic bathing platform. The cockpit provides a large functional area in which to spend time with loved ones. Twin sunpads (the largest ever seen on an S Class yacht) border the central access steps, whilst the configurable cockpit seating area with twin coffee tables is the perfect place to enjoy a sundowner. Moving forward, a teak dining table to seat six to eight, (with optional extendable table) is positioned next to the galley bar creating the perfect area to serve drinks. Sliding doors and a large opening window above the galley bar connect exterior with interior to create a natural flow through the main deck.

Light from the panoramic windows flood the saloon. A pantograph door gives the Captain direct access from the starboard side deck through to the foredeck for easy mooring and communication. The foredeck continues to adapt to owners’ lifestyles with two U-shaped seating areas plus a sunpad conversion.

The S80 lower deck features four en-suite cabins complete with chilled water air-conditioning and opening portholes for natural ventilation. The aft lazarette and two-berth crew cabin with bathroom are situated aft of the machinery space, with various layout options including an additional crew mess area or optional third crew bunk or separate laundry centre. A watertight door from the electro-hydraulic bathing platform gives direct access to this area.

Equipped with MAN V12 1900 or 2000 horsepower engines providing speeds up to 34 knots, plus an optional 7,000 litre fuel tank to enable an extended cruising range.
