Princess Yachts, Britain’s largest luxury yacht builder, will reveal details of its exciting new model, the Princess C48, at the Cannes Yacht ing Festival, with the yacht set to be available in 2027.
This new vessel represents a significant milestone for the company as it expands into the popular centre-console sector, marking Princess Yachts’ first-ever introduction of outboard-powered models.
The C48 will be available in two distinct variants: the Open and the Deck Saloon. Both configurations offer impressive performance options, including three engine choices that span outboard petrol and inboard diesel powertrains. Owners can select from the Triple Mercury V10 400hp Verado, capable of 44–46 knots; the Triple Mercury V12 600hp Verado, delivering 52–54 knots; or the Twin Volvo D6-
480 inboard diesel engines, which provide a maximum speed of 32–34 knots.
Will Green, CEO of Princess Yachts, said: “The introduction of the C48 marks a defining moment for Princess, representing our bold entry into an entirely new sector. This new yacht embodies freedom, excitement, and pure performance, while setting the stage for a thrilling new chapter for our smaller models. By uniting the extraordinary talents of Michael Peters, our long-standing partners at BOL, and our own design team led by Andy Lawrence, we have created a yacht that combines the very best of hydrodynamic engineering, exterior beauty, and interior elegance. The C48 is not only a new direction for Princess – it also represent s a new standard for the centre-console
market.”
Princess Yachts has also announced details of its latest model, the Princess F54, set to replace the award-winning F50.
Designed with a striking new profile and enhanced features throughout, the F54 offers greater length and beam, a host of innovative layout options, and the choice of a hardtop version for the first time in this size category. This new model is set to launch at boot Düsseldorf 2027.
Powered by twin Volvo D13-900 engines, the F54 delivers exhilarating performance with a maximum speed of 34 knots, while maintaining Princess’s hallmark of efficiency, elegance, and handling confidence.
As with all Princess models, the F54 is equipped with Princess Connect – the brand’s advanced telemetry and maintenance system. This factory-installed technology keeps the yacht continuously connected to its owner, dealer, and the Princess shipyard.

The system also offers access to maintenance schedules, manuals, and remote monitoring – acting as a virtual onboard service partner.
The all-new Princess X90 is set to be unveiled at Cannes Yachting Festival 2026.
Sitting between the X80 and the series flagship X95 Vista, the X90 brings a new dimension to this pioneering range of ‘super flybridge’ yachts. Combining ground-breaking design with exceptional space and a level of luxury and attention to detail that is unmistakably Princess, this new yacht is an evolution of an already forward-thinking X-Class range.
Her cockpit is the first striking point of difference to her siblings. The creation of space has always been a key feature of the X Class but on the new X90 this has been taken to new dimensions with a low-level, open design cockpit that not only maximises space but brings its occupants even closer to the water. A glass transom balust rade and folding bulwark balconies that extend the cockpit to port and starboard provide un-interrupted 180º views whether standing or seated in the sumptuous sofas positioned to three sides of the area. A starboard wetbar unit, and optional cockpit TV make this a tranquil place to relax with family or host social occasions with friends.
Another first for Princess is the beautiful curved patio doors that connect this area with the main deck saloon. When open, these effectively place the 10-place dining table that is situated aft of the saloon, in the cockpit providing incredible flexibility. Even when closed the curvature of the glass accentuate s the connection to the outside such is the view that they provide.
