As Princess Yachts celebrates their 60th anniversary, their legacy of innovation and excellence continues to reign. Renowned for their refined aesthetic and outstanding craftsmanship, the distinguished British manufacturer has garnered global acclaim for producing some of the most elegant motor yachts on the water.
This year, two of their most coveted models, the F65 and S65, will be showcased at the Palm Beach International Boat Show. As the premier Princess Yachts dealer in North America, HMY Yacht Sales is thrilled to share the distinctive qualities that set these exceptional yachts apart.
The Unmistakable Prestige of Princess Yachts
As an experienced HMY Yacht Sales Professional and Princess brand specialist, John Haucke is well-suited to highlight the defining attributes that elevate Princess Yachts. “The product just keeps getting better year after year,” he states. “What makes them so good compared to competitors is the fit, finish, workmanship, quality, and pride of ownership.” The vessels also have stylish lines and superb seakeeping abilities, leading to an overall smooth, dry ride that couples perfectly with the right power package. Further, the brand’s dedication to customer satisfaction is second to none, and owners benefit from world-class factory and dealer support. It therefore comes as no surprise that these models have been enthusiastically received by the greater yachting community.
F65 and S65: Tailored for Distinctive Lifestyles
The F65 and S65 share several similarities. Both are built on the same hull and can therefore smoothly sweep down the factory line together before being fitted with their unique top. Each model also features sliding windows on the helm and spacious lower accommodations with three cabins and two heads to sleep up to eight guests. Their individual defining features set them apart, however, and cater to unique yachting lifestyles.
For the Thrill-Seeker: The Dynamic S65
A masterpiece of sport bridge design, the S65 maintains a low-profile silhouette with a retractable sunshade. Designed for those who crave exhilaration on the water, this yacht offers both high performance and comfort. A compelling option for anyone seeking speed and thrills, the S65 will appeal to adventurers with the following features:
-
Powerful twin MAN V12-1400mhp, enabling a cruising speed of 30 knots and an intoxicating top speed of 37 knots
-
A tender garage, ideal for storing additional watercraft
-
A hydraulic lift platform, providing effortless water access
-
Expansive sunbathing areas, including a sun pad atop the tender garage and a foredeck lounge with seating and a table
-
An open, airy salon featuring a window that flips open and ample lounging with settees and sofas
By effortlessly combining these compelling details, the S65 is an exemplary choice for anyone seeking an outdoor-focused yachting experience infused with excitement and performance.
For the Traditionalist: The Elegant F65 Flybridge Motor Yacht
A testament to luxury and sophistication, the F65 is designed for yachting enthusiasts who appreciate timeless splendor and spacious comfort. A true entertainer’s vessel, its expansive salon is bathed in natural light, creating an ambiance of openness for every guest. Noteworthy features include:
-
Two additional seating areas — one opposite the helm and another on the starboard side beyond the aft galley
-
A sumptuous flybridge featuring an aft sunbed for ultimate relaxation
-
A formal aft dining area, ideal for alfresco feasts
-
Private crew quarters for two, accessible via the transom (a new feature for a yacht of this size)
-
1300 V8 engines, delivering a cruising speed of 25 to 26 knots and a top speed of 32 knots
For those seeking a stately motor yacht with a generous flybridge and an inviting layout, the F65 presents unparalleled opportunities for leisure, entertaining, and cruising with friends and family.
