Splash

No expense spared is how her outgoing owner describes her upkeep, and the record backs it up: a two-year extended MAN warranty on her engines still has time left to run. Princess built her in 2022 as an X95 from the yard's Super Flybridge range, and she goes by the name Splash. Boatcrowd offers her for sale from West Palm Beach.

Build and provenance

Princess describes the Super Flybridge concept as extending the flybridge and main deck nearly the full length of the hull, enhancing indoor and outdoor space beyond a standard yacht of similar size. Her hull is a monohull built to the X95 specification, at 29 metres with a beam of 6.8 metres and a draft of 2 metres, shallow enough to keep more anchorages within reach.

Layout and accommodation

Splash sleeps eight guests across four cabins, two of them master staterooms, one on the main deck and one on the lower deck aft, a layout that keeps the primary suite within easy reach of the saloon rather than tucked below. The saloon itself runs full of natural light, and an enclosed sky lounge above adds a second living area that works whatever the weather does outside.

Performance and engineering

Two MAN V12-1900 engines, each rated at 1,900 horsepower, give her a 19-knot cruise, and fin stabilisers work both at anchor and under way to keep her level for guests moving about the deck.

On deck and at anchor

On deck, the flybridge is the principal open-air space, and forward a jacuzzi sits under a sunshade on the bow. Aft, a beach club opens onto the water with its own seating, a fridge and an ice maker, the sort of space that turns a swim stop into an afternoon.

Where she lies and how to see her

Splash lies in West Palm Beach. Boatcrowd sets up a viewing there and brings the buyer through it in person; once an offer is accepted, survey and sea trial come next before she moves to her new owner.
