Princess Yachts’ Y Class flagship, the Y95, is defined by performance, first-rate finishes and ever-flowing lines. An eye-turner at the docks, the Y95 maintains a stout yet relatively sporty profile from bow to stern, framing the largest hull window ever installed on a Princess.
The builder drew inspiration from its Y85 and X95 models while designing the Y95. “The Y95 builds on the best attributes of the X Class, appealing to our heartland, with a strong focus on elegant design and modern marine life,” says Antony Sheriff, executive chairman of Princess Yachts. “The Y95’s design is a classic example of form and function that beautifully comes together to create our largest yacht.”
Bernard Olesinski, Princess Yachts’ longtime naval architect, developed the Y95’s wave-piercing hull form. Italian design house Pininfarina helped create the interior and exterior spaces.
Notable outdoor entertainment spaces on the Y95 include multiple areas on the flybridge, the cockpit’s alfresco dining area, and the foredeck’s two lounge pads and forward-facing settee. When it’s time for a break from swimming and playing with the water toys, hop onto the hydraulic swim platform, open the transom door and step down into the cozy beach club with a C-shaped dinette, an L-shaped wet bar and a flat-screen TV.
The salon has a conventional layout with the lounge aft and formal dining forward. The furniture placement and nearly sole-to-ceiling windows are intended to keep guests connected with the sea. Facing sofas should allow for easy conversation and unobstructed views.
For the times when evenings on the water come to an end, accommodations include an on-deck owner’s stateroom and four belowdecks guest staterooms, all en suite. The owner’s space has a king berth, a settee to starboard and a desk to port. Belowdecks, a full-beam amidships stateroom creates an owner’s-level experience for VIPs with a king berth, settee and desk. The forepeak stateroom has a queen berth. The final two guest staterooms split the centerline abaft the forepeak stateroom, which has twin berths.
The Y95 is powered by twin 2,000 hp MAN V-12 diesels, giving it a reported 21- to 23-knot top hop. According to the builder, the Princess Y95 has a maximum range of more than 1,000 nautical miles at its 12- to 14-knot cruising speed.
