Princess X95 II

Twenty-six knots flat out and a 24-knot cruise mean this yacht is built to close distance quickly, not spend the day getting anywhere. She was finished in 2023 as the Princess X95 II, and is based in Dubai. Ten guests travel with a crew of four, a small enough crew to keep life aboard personal rather than run like a hotel.

Build and provenance

She is a flybridge motor yacht on a single monohull, one of Princess's X95 line. Her length of 29 metres pairs with a 6.7-metre beam and a 2-metre draft, her shallow draught keeps more anchorages within reach.

Layout and accommodation

Five cabins accommodate ten guests, with four crew members to keep the operation running: enough hands to keep meals and cabins turned around without guests noticing the work behind it.

Performance and engineering

Two MAN V12-1900 engines, each rated at 1,900 horsepower, give her a 24-knot cruise and a 26-knot top speed, power built for covering ground rather than idling along the coast. Stabilisers are fitted, keeping her level at anchor as well as under way, so a swim stop stays comfortable even with a little chop running.

Where she lies and how to see her

This Princess X95 II lies in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates. Boatcrowd puts a viewing together and stands beside the buyer at it; once an offer is accepted, a survey and sea trial follow before she passes to her new owner.
