The Princess X95 ‘superfly’ – the luxury SUV of the seas

New images released reveal Pininfarina-influenced new design concept: Princess_X95

* The Princess X95 is a completely new concept that re-imagines the traditional ‘flybridge’ design – the core of luxury yacht brand line-ups

* The X95 redefines yacht architecture with extensive outdoor space and an innovative open plan interior akin to a luxury automotive SUV

Princess Yachts has released an exciting new suite of images showcasing how the game-changing X95 luxury yacht will look when it is revealed later this year. The images show how Princess has worked with legendary styling house Pininfarina SpA to redefine design, space and architecture of luxury yacht interiors and exteriors. The X95’s launch is set to build on the British brand’s commercial growth and technological innovation that is repositioning it as not only the UK’s largest yacht manufacturer, but also the world’s most innovative yacht brand.

Antony Sheriff, Executive Chairman, Princess Yachts, said: “The X95 breaks the mould of traditional yacht design. The unique open plan architecture is brought to life through our design partnership with the legendary styling house Pininfarina. The layout provides 10 per cent more outdoor space and 40 per cent more indoor space than a traditional motor yacht. This leap forward in space and versatility mirrors recent innovations from luxury automotive brands who have developed crossover models.”
Princess Yachts has once again boldly re-written the rules of yacht design. The X95 elegantly fuses architectural innovation with all Princess Yachts’ familiar characteristics of quality in craftmanship and materials, interior design, and innovation in technology. The brand-new Princess X95 is conceived like no other vessel before, re-defining the practical potential and lifestyle options aboard with a complete re-think of yacht architecture.

The X95 is the first model in Princess Yachts’ new X Class range. Challenged with setting a new standard of layout excellence, defined by large, adaptable spaces that can be used and formatted in numerous ways, it offers the owner and guests a uniquely flexible boating lifestyle. Spatial lay-out is therefore instantly class leading, highly practical and user friendly.

The X95 follows the launch of the game changing R35 performance sports yacht, a product born of a unique collaboration between the Princess Design Studio, the Italian styling house Pininfarina SpA and Ben Ainslie Racing Technologies who supported the technical revolution with its America’s Cup racing know-how and aerodynamic experience provided by ex-Formula 1 engineers. The R35 rides on a carbon fibre hull, with two state-of-the-art Princess Active Foils sitting below the waterline. These give the sports yacht unprecedented stability and control, even at speeds of up to 60 knots.
