Princess Yachts to launch 26.82m Princess 88 superyacht
British shipyard Princess Yachts International plc has announced plans to launch 26.82 metre superyacht called Princess 88 in the first quarter of 2013.
Designed for long range cruising, the in-built Princess 88 has a deep-V hull, which has been created using an advanced resin infusion technology. Both the exterior and interior spaces of the Princess 88 yacht are noted for their generous size, superior finish and versatility of the spaces, which offer higher entertaining or relaxing atmosphere.
The boat has wide side decks, which connects the cockpit to a secluded ‘walk-through’ foredeck. The foredeck has forward and aft facing seating and a large sunbed. The seating area on the foredeck can be converted into a shaded alcove by an optional bimini.
The flybridge of the vessel is also large and is complete with teak dining table, a wide sunbed and fully equipped bar. Either side of the twin helm offers additional seating space, which can function as the sociable space of the boat.
Princess, for the first time, has introduced a powered balcony on the rear side of the main deck that folds neatly from the starboard side deck. The balcony connects the saloon with the anchorage through sliding glass doors.
The interior of the boat is equally exquisite. The space has been styled and detailed with the finest fabrics and finishes. The sunlit saloon and dining area are expansive and feature large windows which stretch the full length of either side. The crew have discreet access to the wheelhouse and well specified galley from the side decks, which are separated from the main guest areas. The guests have a dedicated servery access to the dining area.
The lower deck of the boat can accommodate four-to-five en-suite cabins, as per the needs of the owners. The owner's suite is a palatial full beam cabin, which is complete with dressing area and a huge en-suite bathroom, and can also accommodate a private breakfast table. The owners will also have options for breaking it into two roomy double en-suite cabins. The remaining guest accommodation consists of a forward VIP stateroom, starboard double and twin port cabin, all with en-suite shower rooms.
The aft of the machinery space accommodates space for the crew, which consists of a captains double cabin, a twin cabin and a crew mess area. The crew area can also be configured into a three cabin layout.
