ABOUT

The latest edition to the S Class sportbridge range, the all-new Princess S80. Featuring Princess’ latest sweeping design language, the S80 is designed in collaboration with naval architects Olesinski and Italian design house, Pininfarina. The versatile layout of the all-new S80 allows her to be managed as an owner operated vessel with a vast open saloon and raised helm or discreetly crewed, with the option of an enclosed helm plus crew accommodation for up to 3.

Full length windows flow along the main deck, extending either side of the cockpit canopy to provide a sheltered area from the sun. High bulwarks complete with oval stainless-steel rails, a vast teak laid deck, and tailored natural materials define the flagship status of this new S Class model, blending luxurious and contemporary finishes in perfect harmony.

The cockpit and transom have been designed to maximise onwater enjoyment, with a garage to port side with Williams tender launch system, capable of holding up to a Williams SportJet 435 plus an electro-hydraulic bathing platform. The cockpit provides a large functional area in which to spend time with loved ones. Twin sunpads (the largest ever seen on an S Class yacht) border the central access steps, whilst the configurable cockpit seating area with twin coffee tables is the perfect place to enjoy a sundowner.

Sliding doors and a large opening window above the galley bar connect exterior with interior to create a natural flow through the main deck. The galley is fully equipped with Miele appliances and a Sub-Zero full height fridge/freezer. A secondary breakfast bar unit provides a casual dining arrangement.

A spacious C-shaped sofa sits opposite the port seating area whilst the helm offers access to all instrumentation and controls, including the Böning vessel monitoring system. A pantograph door gives the Captain direct access from the starboard side deck through to the foredeck for easy mooring and communication. Above, an optional sliding roof spans the width of the main deck, allowing the sea breeze to flow through the cabin. The foredeck continues to adapt to owners’ lifestyles with two U-shaped seating areas plus a sunpad conversion.

The S80 lower deck features four en-suite cabins complete with chilled water airconditioning and opening portholes for natural ventilation. The full-beam master stateroom features soft organic furnishings, complemented by accents and finishes of natural timber. Soft lighting features accentuate the curved forms of the hand-crafted furniture to create a contemporary but calming environment for owners.

The aft lazarette and two-berth crew cabin with bathroom are situated aft of the machinery space, with various layout options including an additional crew mess area or optional third crew bunk or separate laundry centre. A watertight door from the electro-hydraulic bathing platform gives direct access to this area.

The 28.7 m2 sportbridge is an impressive outdoor living space with multiple seating areas and wetbar with barbecue and generous refrigeration. A converting dining table and an outdoor TV on rise and fall mechanism are also available to suit every occasion. Equipped with MAN V12 1900 or 2000 horsepower engines providing speeds up to 34 knots, plus an optional 7,000 litre fuel tank to enable an extended cruising range, the S80 is optimised for greater efficiency using conventional straight shafts and propellers delivering easy close-quarters manoeuvring and sure-footed thoroughbred performance.

Both vector fin and gyro stabilsation options are available for greater control in challenging sea conditions.
