Since the brand’s inception six decades ago, Princess Yachts has established itself as a highly-esteemed name in the yachting world. Known for their refined aesthetic, sophisticated technology, and seamless fusion of grace and power, these vessels have consistently set the benchmark for luxury and agility on the water. The Y80 is no exception — a masterclass in elegance and performance.
The 2025 Palm Beach International Boat Show marked the Y80’s anticipated stateside debut, which was met with resounding acclaim. Here’s a closer look at the vessel’s most coveted features.
A Fresh Take on the Flybridge
Stretching over 83 feet, the Y80 motor yacht stands in a class all its own. Its expansive flybridge redefines open-air opulence, with well-appointed interiors and generous outdoor spaces that maintain a fluid connection from the cockpit to the helm. Roominess abounds throughout each of the core elements within her layout:
-
The flybridge offers a mix of both shaded and sunlit seating, complemented by a wet bar — perfect for entertaining during your excursions. Owners can personalize the space with sumptuous additions, including a spa bath, free-standing sun loungers, or a crane for a tender which can be concealed within the sunpad.
-
The foredeck serves as a versatile retreat, accommodating up to ten people with forward and aft-facing U-shaped seating that converts easily into a spacious sunpad.
-
On the main deck, large windows flood the salon with natural light, framing panoramic ocean views.
-
The aft deck offers a shaded alfresco dining area, while the submersible swim platform offers convenient access to water toys and tender launches.
Space to Spread Out
Whether you’re voyaging to the Caribbean or cruising the Intercoastal, the Y80 is replete with amenities ideal for extended getaways. An impressive 19-foot, 11-inch beam lends itself to a sprawling interior without sacrificing any of the outdoor features. Despite its spacious staterooms, the vessel’s side decks also remain wide and easily navigable, ensuring both comfort and functionality.
Below deck, four en-suite cabins provide accommodations for up to eight guests, along with dedicated crew quarters. The full-beam master suite, positioned behind a circular staircase for added privacy, features a king-sized berth and refined en-suite. An additional cabin offers flexible sleeping arrangements with two twin berths that can be converted into a queen, while the third and fourth cabins offer a queen and king berth respectively. Each cabin is an en-suite, offering a secluded retreat for all family members and friends when the day is done.
Princess-Level Performance
The Y80’s exquisite interiors and magnificent deck spaces are matched only by the vessel’s impressive execution at sea. Twin 1,900 HP MAN diesel engines come standard, delivering a swift 32-knot top speed with remarkable stability courtesy of the yacht’s celebrated deep-V hull. For those seeking even more power, an upgrade to dual 2,000 HP engines boosts the top speed to an exhilarating 35 knots, unlocking the agility and responsiveness of a much smaller vessel.
No matter which power package you choose, you’ll be met with exceptional seakeeping made even more enjoyable with the vessel's cutting-edge navigation system. The upper helm station is well-equipped with dual 18-inch Garmin displays, joystick control, and FLIR night-vision cameras. A Surround View 360-degree camera enhances visibility, making navigation a breeze whether you’re docking at oceanfront restaurants along the East Coast or anchoring in secluded island coves.
