A Look Back at 2024 with HMY Yacht Sales and Princess Yachts America
As the year draws to a close, we’re taking a moment to celebrate the remarkable achievements and experiences that Princess Yachts America and HMY Yacht Sales have shared in 2024. From unforgettable Owners Holidays to HMY’s recognition as the #1 North American Dealer, and an incredible boat show season, it’s been a year to remember. Here’s a look back at some of our favorite moments—and what we’re most excited about in 2025.
Spring/Summer Owners Holidays
This year’s Owners Holidays offered more than just a chance to escape to beautiful destinations—they allowed Princess yacht owners to build lasting memories with family and friends, surrounded by a community of like-minded boating enthusiasts.
Spring Owners Holiday in Harbour Island:
In spring, we gathered for the Princess Rendezvous in Harbour Island, Bahamas, where yacht owners enjoyed pristine blue waters and exclusive gatherings set in the picturesque Bahamas. Guests were treated to private dinners, sunset cocktails, and a fun-filled beach day with the entire Princess family, giving everyone a memorable experience.
2024 Princess Summer Owners Holiday in Block Island:
This summer, Block Island was the perfect host for the Summer Owners Holiday. The weekend was packed with exciting activities, from a spirited pickleball tournament to an old-fashioned egg toss that brought out everyone’s competitive side. Island explorations revealed the charm of Block Island’s natural beauty, and we capped off the festivities with an authentic New England clambake dinner at Champlin’s. These events allowed us to connect with our community and celebrate the unique pleasures of yachting. The smiles, laughter, and joy from these gatherings reaffirm our commitment to creating extraordinary experiences for our owners.
Princess Yachts America Dealer Meeting: HMY Named the #1 North American Dealer for 2023
At the annual Dealer Meeting, we met up with Princess Yachts America and other dealer networks in Plymouth, England, where we celebrated a milestone that made 2024 an exceptional year for HMY Yacht Sales. HMY was named the #1 North American Dealer for Princess Yachts for the 2023 year, an honor that underscores HMY’s commitment to providing clients with outstanding service and expertise. This achievement speaks volumes about the dedication of our team and the trust our clients place in HMY. We couldn’t be prouder of this recognition, and it fuels our drive to continue leading the industry in yacht sales and customer satisfaction.
Featured Model: Princess Y85
No yacht encapsulates luxury and performance quite like the Princess Y85. This flagship vessel is the epitome of elegant design and cutting-edge technology, making it a perfect match for being on the water. With a length of 85 feet, this masterpiece is more than just a yacht—it's a floating sanctuary.
Designed to provide seamless indoor-outdoor living, the Y85 boasts a spacious flybridge, expansive entertaining areas, and a stunning saloon with panoramic views. Below deck, its beautifully appointed cabins exude comfort and sophistication, accommodating up to eight guests with ease. Every detail, from the meticulously crafted interiors to its advanced navigation systems, reflects the hallmark of Princess Yachts’ craftsmanship.
The Y85 isn’t just about style—it’s also a thrill on the water. Powered by twin MAN V12 engines, it delivers exhilarating performance while maintaining a remarkably smooth ride. Whether you're hosting a sunset cruise or exploring hidden coves, this yacht redefines luxury living on the sea.
New Models Announced and Debuted
This year, Princess Yachts debuted the S80 at the Cannes Yachting Festival. We will be seeing this model next year at the 2025 Fort Lauderdale Boat Show. Princess Yachts announced the X90 this year, which will be making its debut in 2026. The X90 is an innovative new addition to the X class; one we’ve never seen before from Princess but are eagerly awaiting its arrival.
The Princess Experience at South Florida Boat Shows
Discover Boating Miami International Boat Show:
The year started strong with our participation in the Miami International Boat Show back in February, a premier event in the yachting world. The Princess Yachts America display wowed attendees with their latest models and innovations, offering guests a first-hand look at their dedication to excellence in design and performance.
Palm Beach International Boat Show:
In March, we returned to the Palm Beach International Boat Show, where the idyllic setting of the show paired perfectly with the elegance of the Princess fleet. This event allowed us to connect with clients and introduce newcomers to the Princess Yachts experience.
Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show:
The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS) remains a crown jewel in the boating calendar, and our 2024 presence was nothing short of extraordinary. The Princess display featured both new models and other favorites, drawing significant attention from both long-time owners and potential new members of the Princess family. The energy, enthusiasm, and connections made at FLIBS continue to inspire us. Thank you to everyone who joined us at these three boat shows in 2024, we can’t wait for next year!
