Celebrating 60 Years of Distinction in Detail

Celebrating 60 years – Princess Yachts, Britain’s largest luxury yacht builder and a world-renowned luxury brand, is proudly celebrating its anniversary this year..  Since its humble beginnings in 1965, Princess Yachts has redefined the yachting experience, blending cutting-edge technology, exquisite craftsmanship and exceptional sea-keeping to produce truly iconic yachts that have inspired passion and adventure on the water.

Founded by three friends in a small shed in Plymouth, UK, these visionary pioneers built the foundations of what has evolved into an industry leading and globally acclaimed brand.  Over the past 60 years, Princess has set the standard for design, innovation, and luxury in the boating world.  And the company has built a reputation for producing meticulously crafted yachts that embody the performance, comfort and style that have become synonymous with the brand.

‘When a customer is viewing a yacht, there has to be an element of surprise and delight – and that’s the detail’, David King, Founder, Princess Yachts

‘Reaching our 60th anniversary is a momentous achievement that fills us with immense pride,’ says Will Green, CEO of Princess Yachts.  ‘It’s a testament to the enduring commitment of our talented team, past and present, and the loyalty of our clients.  This is not just about reflecting on our rich history of craftsmanship and innovation though.  It is as much about looking forward to the next 60 years and ensuring we continue to deliver exciting, segment defining products with that distinctive, unparalleled Princess luxury and continue to redefine the yachting experience for generations to come.’

‘People are everything – specific skills and a desire to be the best, and that translates into the quality of the product’, Roger Lipman, Sales Director, Princess Motor Yacht Sales

Princess V40 Special Edition – Celebrating 60 Years

To celebrate 60 years of crafting some of the world’s finest yachts, Princess have created a very special edition of the iconic V40 to mark this incredible milestone in the brand’s history.  She made her UK debut with Princess Motor Yacht Sales at the British Motor Yacht Show in May.

The updated model features a restyled profile including a vignetted hull graphic that extends the window line and incorporates a special ‘60 years’ emblem denoting that this is a limited edition.  The canopy is also enhanced with a choice of 3 contrast flash colours each with a matching exterior upholstery scheme with contrast piping to provide a consistent styling aesthetic throughout.  The helm seat features the unique ’60 years’ emblem and an exclusive three-spoke steering wheel, a popular option from some of the lager models, completes the look.
