The Princess X80: Opportunity to Explore Further

Monday 6th November 2023

Experience a completely new concept in yacht naval architecture and design, including the Princess X80 superyacht.  The Princess ‘Super Flybridge’ yachts set a new benchmark for luxury living space afloat.  And for those wishing to spend extended time aboard and adventure further afield, these models offer the perfect luxury yachting experience.  The X Class features unprecedented space with a new standard of layout excellence and provides the freedom to adapt your yacht to your lifestyle.  Elegant exterior styling, exquisite craftsmanship, detailing and luxurious materials and fabrics remain true to the DNA of Princess.

The Princess X80 lifestyle

Following the immediate success of the Princess X95, this unique formula has been translated into a smaller package.  The striking X80 has a ‘super flybridge’ providing in excess of 30% more useful interior space onboard than a traditional flybridge yacht of its length.  The flow of expansive glazing along the entire length of the main deck brings the outside in, creating a sense of being at one with the ocean.  The main deck layout offers the flexibility to be more formal with sliding doors to the galley and an elegant electronic divider over the bar that transforms the galley from open and sociable to fully enclosed.  Travel forward to the unique dining area which offers 270° panoramic toughened glass windows.  Alternatively, you can option for a main deck owner’s stateroom which includes a private sundeck.  Like her sister-ship, the X80 also offers a breathtaking Sky Lounge that leads to an enclosed pilot house forward and to an open sociable flybridge deck with ample relaxed seating and an al fresco dining area aft.

The use of light, innovative design and craftsmanship continues below deck where up to 8 guests are accommodated across 4 ensuite cabins, a full-beam owner’s stateroom located amidships, a forward guest stateroom, a double and a twin cabin.

The Princess X80 superyacht (mini) is capable of adventures further afield with the option of a long range 8,800 litre tank and with MAN V12 1900mph engines, she can reach speeds up to 31 knots.

The Princess X80 brings the outside in through the maximization of glazing that flows the entire length of the main deck and envelops the saloon, galley and forward dining area.

Princess Yachts S80

The all-new Princess S80 is described as being "inspired by urban living", a phrase that brings to mind stylish lofts over-looking a bright city skyline, posh surroundings, chic decor, and a downtown vibe that attracts urbanites. For those that seek luxury accommodations with a contemporary ambiance, no one does it better than Princess Yachts . Its predecessor, the Princess S78 , arrived in 2018 and dazzled with its beautiful exterior and nearly 40 knot performance at sea. Rest assured, the new S80 will only improve on the speed, performance, and handling through the advanced technology of twin MAN V12 2,000 mhp engines.

The Princess Sportbridge range has become increasingly popular thanks to its combination of express cruiser speed and handling, but also combining the attributes of a flybridge yacht with a low bridge clearance. If you love having the majority of the socializing on your yacht being on one main deck, but occasionally want to operate the vessel from a higher vantage point, the sportbridge series is a wonderful solution. The sportbridge on the S80 features that forward helm station with complete navigational electronics, twin upholstered seats, teak deck, dining table, and u-shaped seating aft. Additionally, there is an outdoor kitchen portside with a sink, BBQ grill, and refrigeration drawer. Other details like LED lighting, drink holders, USB charging stations, and convenient storage spaces complete the compacted flybridge deck.

Additionally, there is a foredeck lounge area that has been implemented into the design as no space will go to waste. Wide side decks allow for easy access to the bow where guests will find two facing u-shaped couches and tables in between.

The aft cockpit of the Princess S80 is remarkably well-designed to maximize your time spent on board, whether it be sunbathing, socializing, cruising, or entertaining. Extra-large sunpads are farthest aft, giving sun lovers unobstructed access to its rays with drink-holders and exterior speakers placed conveniently around you. The sunpads are separated by steps leading through a gate to the hydraulic swim platform.

Forward of the sun loungers is another shaded seating area that features two loveseats, port and starboard, along with a table for 6 guests (can be extended for 8 guests), for the perfect al fresco dining experience. The path from the swim platform steps to the forward, interior helm is a straight line making maneuvering around the yacht effortless. Other notable cockpit features include hot/cold transom shower, a retractable bathing ladder, a starboard side wetbar, and a remote control telescopic passerelle.

The galley on board allows for multi-night on-water vacations, as well as serving multiple guests when entertaining. As with all Princess galleys, everything is top notch. The countertops are granite/quartz, the refrigeration units are Sub-Zero, the dishwasher is Miele slimline, and the combination convection oven/microwave/grill is also from Miele.

Moving forward on the main deck, the salon offers a "breathtaking perspective" that eloquently combines soft color palettes, with the natural light glistening off the ocean, while maintaining its sense of luxury through open space. Owners will have a choice of finishes for the interior salon including Alba Oak, Rovere Oak, Silver Oak, and Walnut Satin. There is a large sofa starboard (which has hidden storage underneath), along with a coffee table, 55" LED TV, Naim Uniti Atom audio system, dimmable LED lights, and modern decor to enhance the atmosphere.

For overnight trips, the Princess S80 has accommodations for 8 guests in 4 staterooms, each with en suite heads. There is a crew cabin near the engine room which has multiple layout options, if the captain wants their own small galley for example. The master suite is found midship and stretches the beam of the vessel. Features include a walk-in closet, large double berth, starboard side sofa, 55" LED TV, and plenty of storage opportunities. The VIP Suite is placed forward on the S80 and features a large double berth, as well. The starboard and portside guest cabins are each spacious and well-appointed, with the starboard side cabin having a double berth.

The Princess S80 will make its world debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September 2023.

Your World, Your Yacht

• By Rebecca Cahilly-Taranto
• May 15, 2024

Custom yachtbuilding is not for the faint of heart. It requires knowledge and expertise—not only on the part of the builder, but ideally on the part of the client as well.

Custom yachtbuilding also requires resources—both financial and in facilities and technology. And last but not least, a custom yachtbuild must have solid naval architecture, a well-planned layout, mechanical efficiency, and, oh yes, seaworthiness to ensure a return on investment if and when it enters the resale market.

It’s for these reasons that the world’s leading custom yachtbuilders concentrate, for the most part, on larger builds in the 50-plus-meter arena. Nestled in the southern region of The Netherlands, Van der Valk Shipyard is the anomaly to this theorem.

As one of the only shipyards in the world focused solely on building fully bespoke motoryachts between 25 and 45 meters (82 and 147 feet), Van der Valk not only has experience and expertise, but its builds are also backed by a pedigree defined by solid design and engineering, partner collaborations with the world’s leading designers, and state-of-the-art facilities. Yes, they are Dutch. But the 100-strong team at this family-founded shipyard is quick to point out that its prowess in yachtbuilding extends far beyond heritage.

About That Heritage

Van der Valk was the vision of Wim van der Valk, an avid yachtsman who founded the company in 1967. Over the course of 50 years, Van der Valk built a global fleet of more than 1,000 motoryachts in both steel and aluminum, its early rise to prominence coming from cabin cruisers in the 7- to 10-meter (23- to 32-foot) range. By the mid-1980s, the builder’s Vitesse series of semidisplacement steel and aluminum motoryachts set a benchmark for its strong resale value, which continued with the Continental I, a signature line that dominated the 1990s and early 2000s. In the 2010s, the firm broke into the superyacht sector thanks to collaborative projects with designer Guido de Groot, a partnership that set the tone for the future. Today, Wim van der Valk serves as President Emeritus of the board, advising the management team of Enrico Theuns, Bram Kooltjes and Yoeri Bijker, who leverage decades of combined experience in the high-end yachting industry.

Design and Innovation

Over the past two decades, Van der Valk’s design partnerships have included renowned firms such as Guido de Groot, Ginton Naval Architects, Diana Yacht Design, Carla Guilhem Design, Cor D. Rover and Van Oossanen, to name a few.

While a potential client is welcome to bring a complete vision or drawings to the table that might require a new hull design, most of Van der Valk’s all-aluminum builds are married to previously proven hulls from the builder’s diverse fleet, allowing the client and the preferred designer to focus on customization from the waterline up without reinventing the wheel.

With customization comes forward-thinking clients and pioneering innovations, and Van der Valk has embraced innovative concepts, which have led to award-winning, head-turning builds that have propelled the yachtbuilding industry forward.

In 2013, Van der Valk’s 37-meter (121-foot) Santa Maria T was the world’s first motoryacht to feature a two-axis fin antiroll damping system. The yard also developed hulls and models to specifically integrate the Volvo Penta IPS propulsion system when it was first introduced.

More recently, the 34-meter (111-foot) tri-deck explorer yacht Lady Lene was designed and built to be completely ADA-compliant and wheelchair accessible. Its overall design garnered a World Yacht Trophy, a Boat International Design and Innovations Award for Best Interior Design, and a World Superyacht Award Judges’ Commendation for “styling and performance quite unlike its rivals in this class.”

Delivered in October 2023, the 34-meter (111-foot) Blue Jeans was one of the most complex yachts the yard has engineered and built to date. This bespoke raised pilothouse features high ceilings throughout its interior (soaring to nearly 8 feet in the salon), a pioneering use of exterior glass for the windows and bulwarks, and a flush bow area with hidden windlasses opening up the space for guest use. Interior features such as liquid metal walls, exclusive use of reconstituted teak, copper accents, rare marbles, and remarkable lighting displays were the finishing touches that led to this marvel receiving its own World Superyacht Award.

Launched in 2023 and delivered this year, the 34-meter (111-foot) Pilot was the first Van der Valk built to American Bureau Shipping standards. Designer Cor D. Rover was brought in for his pioneering vision for high-volume designs by an experienced client who requested a length extension to the maximum-interior-space principle, coupled with a modern, contemporary aesthetic. The result is a three-deck yacht with a self-contained pilothouse, a main-deck master suite with a balcony (echoed for the VIP on the lower deck), a full lazarette for tender storage, and foldout transom wings that extend the swim platform. Van der Valk’s expertise punctuates multiple areas of this eye-catching build, from the automotive-inspired aluminum grills to the large windows, curved shapes, and masculine angles. It too has been nominated for a World Superyacht Award.

From Semicustom to Custom Series

Balking the trend followed by so many custom-turned-semicustom builders, Van der Valk has evolved over the years to focus exclusively on custom aluminum motoryachts fully finished and outfitted in-house in the niche 25-to-45-meter (82-to-147-foot) size range.

The high number of one-off builds over the years has enabled this niche offering and flexibility. Supported by the technical and engineering expertise of a 100-strong team of builders, craftsmen, specialists, painters, and joiners—a rare in-house array of services for a boutique shipyard—Van der Valk’s facilities have evolved to comprise seven state-of-the-art sheds spanning nearly 10,000 square feet and affording a build capacity of four up-to-45-meter (147-foot) yachts at any one time.

A recent yard expansion has been timely. With bays full and build slots booked into 2026, Van der Valk’s specialized focus is clearly being met with global demand. Custom builds currently underway include the 34-meter (111-foot) Project 111.11 , a RINA-class four-deck, five-stateroom Guido de Groot design with a contemporary interior by Carla Guilhem that expands upon Lady Lene ’s proven hull form with twin commercial Volvo Penta 750 hp continuous-duty engines. It is slated for delivery in the third quarter of 2024.

Project 111.11 is followed by Project Samba , a 35-meter (114-foot) tri-deck fast-displacement explorer also designed by Guido de Groot as an exceptional family residence on the sea. Inspired by the outdoors, Project Samba maximizes the yacht’s indoor/outdoor space with a large aft deck, a beach club, a transformer swim platform, and an indoor/outdoor bridge deck salon.

Repeat clients have brought another new exciting design concept to the yard, and construction has begun on Project EVO , a 39.9-meter (130-foot) round bilged, fast-displacement hull design with a target 24-knot top speed. Project EVO represents the largest yacht that the yard has built to date. With naval architecture by Diana Yacht Design and Ginton Naval Architects, the all-aluminum yacht will feature exterior styling and a bespoke interior design by renowned Italian firm Cristiano Gatto Design.

While current clients claim many of Van der Valk’s build slots, new clients spanning the Americas to Europe to Asia are discovering the Dutch builder’s niche focus, youthful enthusiasm, and concierge-like global after-sales warranty and service. After all, when the message is “Your World, Your Yacht” and the size is within reach, why not?

Designed by Italian firm Nuvolari Lenard, Kismet 2.0 is 88 feet longer than its predecessor and weighs twice as much. The behemoth has an interior volume of 5,500 GT, in fact. Even at such a size, Kismet showcases harmonious proportions and sleek, elegant lines. The mast and bow, for instance, were modeled after a leaping jaguar and to ensure a distinctive profile.

Khan once again enlisted U.K. studio Reymond Langton Design to bring the interior to life. The billionaire is known to have very specific and clearly quite lavish taste. He requested the interior of the original Kismet reflect a “Champagne and caviar” theme, for example. The second Kismet is equally extravagant. A two-level open-plan entrance area with sweeping video walls leads to stylish living quarters that span some six decks.

The layout includes between eight and nine cabins for up to 12 guests and cabins for 36 crew. In addition, the owner’s suite comprises a spacious stateroom, dual bathrooms, two dressing rooms, and a private terrace with a Jacuzzi. Above, the owner’s office offers panoramic views, a conference table for up to six, and a dedicated pantry.

“The owner’s brief was challenging,” Peter Lürßen, managing director of Lürssen, said in a statement. “However, we believe that with our technical expertise, we have fulfilled the owner’s wish and vision for a yacht that will still be timeless and ahead of its time for many years to come.”

The best part? Kismet will be available for the 2024 charter season for €3 million (roughly $3.3 million) a week. Contact the Cecil Wright team for more information on availability, charter rates, and cruising locations.

120-foot luxury yacht runs aground off West Maui

H ONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - A luxury tour yacht is stuck on the rocks off Lahaina, the state DLNR Division of Boating and Ocean Recreation said.

The 120-foot Maui Princess ran aground in shallow waters off Lahaina around 8:30 a.m. Thursday.

But the U.S. Coast Guard says they are not responding because the crew was not in distress.

DOBOR said the owner is trying to hire a tug to attempt to remove it at high tide.

There was no immediate word on possible injuries, coral damage, or fuel leaks.
