In the luxury yacht world, there are a handful of shipbuilders which are recognized the world over due to their reputation for building an outstanding product in an industry with very stiff competition. Princess Yachts is one of those brands and a shipbuilder whose products perfectly reflect the company name. 

In the realm of yacht royalty, Princess Yachts wears a crown. 

Although the company released their first Princess branded yacht, a vessel known as Project 31, in 1965, the brand began as Marine Projects when founder Dave King built a charter boat as a personal project and the vessel was quickly purchased while it was still under construction.

Between 1965 and 1970, Marine Projects launched more than 150 yachts from the city of Plymouth on England’s southwestern shores. Well-known as a thriving maritime center, Plymouth provided the perfect home for the growing boat builder and Marine Projects vessels became a sought-after brand. 

The company changed course during the 1990s recession and rebranded as Princess Yachts with a focus on creating the high-quality vessels that exceeded industry standards by maintaining complete control over the build process.

Today, Princess has weathered and survived course corrections, world-wide recessions, and even a brutal storm on the English coast that nearly sunk the Plymouth yachting industry. 

The Princess fleet now offers 20 models in six distinct classes, with options ranging from performance yachts built with cutting edge technology and engineering, to sleek, speedy sport yachts, to long-range flybridge cruisers that touch on the edge of mega yacht boundaries.  

Since the company’s launch, Princess has held a seat in the top tier of luxury yacht builders and shows no signs of giving up the throne.
