The Princess S80 combines a sporty aesthetic with expansive outdoor and indoor spaces, ideal for sun-soaked relaxation and open-water adventures. Launched at the Cannes Show 2024, this newest addition to the Princess lineup shares a hull platform with the Y80 and X80 models. However, the S80 distinctly prioritizes open-air enjoyment and sleek, modern design, setting it apart as a true standout in the 80-foot class.
Open-Air Entertainment and Versatile Design
The S80 emphasizes outdoor spaces for gatherings, featuring an extended cockpit with sunbeds and ample seating that seamlessly integrate with the aft deck for a relaxed, open environment. The stern includes a hydraulic platform with a tender garage, allowing convenient storage for a Williams 435 tender. Wide side doors and spacious boarding doors enhance accessibility, and an expansive flybridge offers additional room for lounging and dining, creating a versatile, all-weather entertainment hub.
Sleek, Functional Interior
Inside, the S80 impresses with a galley-aft layout featuring the modern Silver Oak finish, though other wood finishes are available for customization. With floor-to-ceiling windows, the saloon floods with natural light and offers uninterrupted views, perfect for both open sea cruising and anchoring in scenic coves. A lift-up window between the saloon and cockpit creates a fluid indoor-outdoor connection, ensuring continuity of space for guests. Complete with a fully equipped galley and a bar area with a wine cooler and ice maker, the S80’s interior layout balances elegance with functionality.
Advanced Helm and Technology
The helm on the main deck is outfitted with ergonomic seating, multi-functional touch displays, and Princess’s intuitive Boning system, which offers complete control over navigation, lighting, fuel management, and more. A side door provides easy access for the captain, ideal for owner-operators or light crew use. The S80 also includes an upper helm station on the flybridge for a commanding view of the surroundings, further emphasizing its sporty nature.
Luxurious Lower Deck
The lower deck retains the luxurious accommodations seen in the Y80 and X80 models, with a spacious full-beam owner’s suite, a VIP suite, and two guest cabins with flexible twin-to-double conversion. Each cabin includes its own en suite, adorned with high-end finishes like fluted woodwork and rainfall showers. The owner’s suite, located aft, boasts a walk-in wardrobe, a floating vanity, and panoramic views.
Power and Performance
Powered by twin 2,000-horsepower MAN engines, the S80 reaches an impressive top speed of around 36 knots, cruising comfortably at 30 knots with a range of approximately 300 nautical miles at that speed. The addition of a SeaKeeper stabilizer ensures a smooth, stable ride in diverse sea conditions, whether cruising at high speeds or at anchor. With a third fuel tank as an option, the S80 offers a range that accommodates extended journeys, making it both luxurious and capable of serious cruising.
Conclusion
The Princess S80 blends luxury, performance, and an unmatched focus on outdoor living, making it a true standout among 80-foot sportbridge yachts. The combination of spacious decks, elegant interiors, and powerful performance allows this model to offer an all-encompassing yachting experience. For those who prioritize stylish comfort with a touch of sportiness, the S80 is a thrilling addition to Princess's exceptional lineup.
