The X and M series includes semi-custom superyachts. The Y and F models include flybridge yachts, the S models include sportsbridge yachts. Indoor and semi-closed models in the V range.
The new R Series includes open designer yachts capable of speeds up to 50 knots.
Yacht Features
Princess boats of this type stand out for their large side windows, their impressively glazed deckhouse and the rapid shape of their bow. They may not be as flashy as the «Italians,»but they are ergonomic and thought through to the smallest detail, and the finest interiors from Fendi Casa are better than business cards.
The credo of the shipyard: instead of a couple or three similar models to make one universal, because any «princess» is still built to order. On board of each such boat it is convenient, practical and functional, moreover 10-year-old models look as modern as the new ones.
