Five yachts headline Princess display

Princess Yachts is exhibiting at Southampton International Boat Show this week with a display built around five yachts from its range, as the British manufacturer continues its support for what it describes as one of the UK’s leading boating events.

Visitors to the Princess stand can view the X80, Y72, S65, F58 and V50, a line-up the spanning its portfolio from sports yachts to long-range cruisers and luxury yachts.

Leading the display is the flagship X80, built around its Super Flybridge concept, which the company says delivers extra interior volume and flexible living spaces for extended cruising. The Y72 combines craftsmanship and contemporary design with long-range capability, while the S65 and F58 are aimed at a range of boating lifestyles, and the sporty V50 completes the line-up.

One of Britain’s luxury yacht manufacturers, Princess said it continues to invest in its presence at the show, reflecting the company’s ongoing commitment to supporting the industry.

Apprentices recognised for shaping the future of British boatbuilding

Alongside its yacht showcase, Princess is also using the show to celebrate the people helping to shape the future of British boatbuilding. The strength of the company’s apprenticeship programme has recently been recognised at a national level by British Marine, with carpentry apprentice Jordan Matthew Coles and marine engineering apprentice Niamh Taylor-May accounting for two of the three finalists shortlisted for the 2026 British Marine Apprentice of the Year Award. The overall winner will be announced during the Southampton International Boat Show.

Southampton International Boat Show is an important event for the UK marine industry, and we are pleased to continue our support. It provides a valuable opportunity to showcase our yachts, meet customers and highlight the craftsmanship and expertise behind British boatbuilding.

This year, we are also recognising the achievements of our apprentices. Having two finalists shortlisted for the British Marine Apprentice of the Year Award reflects the hard work of Jordan and Niamh and the strength of our apprenticeship programme. Supporting future talent remains an important part of our business and the wider marine sector.

Will Green, Chief Executive of Princess Yachts
