Princess Yachts has released details about the 30M, a 100-foot raised pilothouse design that is now the entry-level model in the M Class series. We’ve been poring over the specs and plans, and there’s an awful lot to like. Here are our seven favorite details so far:

Guest space. She’s only 100 feet LOA, but she offers as many as five en suite guest cabins including an on-deck master.

Get up and go. Princess is expecting her to top out near 30 knots thanks to composite- build technology that saves weight.

Multifunction features. The hydraulic swim platform and stern garage can act as a teak beach space or as tender stowage for a 14-footer.

All-weather readiness. The hardtop on the flybridge has an integrated sunroof to make the most of pretty much all weather conditions.

• ** Room for relaxation.** Aft on the flybridge, there’s plenty of space for a hot tub in addition to freestanding deck furniture.

• ** Indoor-outdoor entertaining.** The main deck can be designed with wide sliding doors that open to a starboard-side balcony.

• ** In-progress design.** The 30M is already under development at Princess’ South Yard Superyacht facility in Plymouth, England, and is expected to launch in 2015.
