Princess M Class

Luxury superyachts.

M Class Luxury Superyachts by Princess Yachts

The Princess M Class range of luxury superyachts, including the Princess 30M, 35M Princess 40M, place the Princess brand firmly in the market for superyachts and megayachts over 100 feet. All superyacht models are unmistakably Princess in terms of their high quality luxurious design and superb performance, while offering prospective Princess yacht owners an exceptional level of personalisation which ensures that every Princess luxury superyacht for sale is completely unique. Over 50 years of inspired craftsmanship comes together within this class to deliver the epitome of Princess and a haven of exhilaration and relaxation.

Princess presents the M Class

Princess 40M

The Princess 40M super yacht, launched in 2012, had the largest resin-infused hull moulded at its time. The accommodation throughout this luxurious yacht is sumptuous, with a five cabin layout for up to 12 guests, with space for up to 7 crew members in complete privacy. The largest of the M Class, this super yacht exudes elegance and style in every detail with personalisation options in abundance and incredible sea-keeping. Power comes from twin MTUs giving a top speed of 23 knots. Cruising speed is around 12 to 14 knots, which gives the boat a fuel consumption rate of 250 to 300 litres per hour and a range of 1,500 miles.

Princess 35M

Following on from the global success of the 40M, a new addition entered the M Class series in 2014 in the form of the Princess 35M . She was a semi-custom superyacht capable of cruising at both high and low speeds with an impressive long range and outstanding efficiency. Her expansive deck areas and comfortable, spacious accommodation offered an opportunity to own a superyacht of grand stature without pushing to the 40M. The 35M explored and challenged the Princess design studio, and the result is something quite spectacular – panoramic windows, clean vast spaces and beautifully luxurious materials.

Princess 30M

The latest model to be added to the M Class family of superyachts in 2016 was the Princess 30M , a super yacht built for charter, exploration and quality family time. The 30M offers up to five double en suite cabins including a main deck master suite, depending on the configuration chosen by the owner. The modernised composite build technology by Princess Yachts has allowed the 30M to uncover leading interior volume, optimum cruising efficiency and the respective weight-saving advantages to be able to reach up to 30 knots. High class engineering and premium design come together in this luxurious M Class model.

New Princess Luxury Superyachts

The M Class range of luxury superyachts has since been removed from new production, however is still available to charter or via our brokerage and used boats departments. The new Princess X Class range of superfly yachts presents a pair of re-imagined luxury superyachts, with extensive on board space and a flybridge spanning the entire length of the craft.

Puro, as spoken in Italian, is the essence of all things that are Pure...

OCEAN ALEXANDER has once again pressed new boundaries with our new Puro collection of luxury yachts for the global marketplace. The OCEAN ALEXANDER 35M Puro does not take stylized cues from yachts that find a niche in geographical markets, it is the embodiment of what pure yachting is, in any part of the globe. As you look at the intricate details of this luxurious masterpiece, your eyes are not drawn to one element, instead, the harmonious blend of rich features all leading to unrivaled functionality.

Yachts designed for the global marketplace will not follow trends, they will embody pure craftsmanship that does not compromise, eventually leading to timely obsolescence. The Puro 35 creates the perfect balance of pristine entertaining spaces, chiseled body formation, and uncompromised seaworthiness. Designed by renowned Italian architect Giorgio M. Cassetta in collaboration with Andrea Agrusta of NavalHEAD, this series presents the continued evolution of OCEAN ALEXANDER and our unwavering decades of commitment to yacht building in its purest form; welcome to the next benchmark.

A Grande entrance: Inside Azimut’s new 35m flagship

Azimut has a tagline it likes to use when describing its new Grande 35 Metri: “No half measures”. There can’t be — the territory the yard has entered with its flagship yacht is not short on competition. Princess and Sunseeker have significant roots in the 34 to 36 metre market. Sanlorenzo sits pretty comfortably in that space with its SL118. There are options from Turkey, Taiwan and the UAE. There’s more local competition from smaller yards like DL Yachts , while Westport over in the US keeps pumping out its hugely successful 112s. With a range of options (and prices) this wide, Azimut’s job was to bring something new to the party; to lay down a marker.

The two people it tasked with doing this were long-time collaborator Stefano Righini for exterior styling and Achille Salvagni , who crafted the interior. You’ve heard of Righini — he’s a legend, responsible for the designs of hundreds of yachts from the likes of Azimut, Benetti and Overmarine . Few people have had more influence on modern motor yacht design. If you’ve heard of Salvagni, it’s probably because you know his range of exquisite furniture sold at his atelier in London, or at Maison Gerard in New York. But take note of his name: he’s a growing force in superyacht design, working not only with the Azimut-Benetti group but also with Rossinavi on two of its 2017 launches: Endeavour II and Aurora .

The pair faced very different challenges on this project. Righini’s was to take a wide body platform, with vast volumes (for a 35 metre) and make the Grande 35 Metri look low-slung and trim. In short, take a fat boat and put it on a stylistic diet. His long overhangs, huge dark areas of glazing and sloping wheelhouse window lines all distract from the fact that there’s a whole lot of boat here.

“The search for volume is a constant demand,” says Giovanna Vitelli, vice-president of Azimut-Benetti. “And this is our response, keeping the sleek lines. But we have to provide internal space because that is what the market requires.” Salvagni therefore had plenty of space to work with but he had to come up with a range of interiors for this semi-custom yacht that would suit all markets, from karaoke rooms for Asian clients to open kitchens for US ones.

On this first hull, “we wanted to be sophisticated, simple, contemporary and timeless at the same time”, says the designer. “The design philosophy was based on softness. To last, an interior can’t be aggressive, but it still needs its own personality. It’s very soft, very calm and relaxed. If it keeps that feeling, it will last.”

He deliberately departed from the yacht’s exterior style in conceiving the interior. “The yacht is so aggressive from the outside and I wanted to transmit the opposite sensation inside. The tension between the two opposites created a balance.” Salvagni’s expert eye has extended to the finish, which is very good indeed, with lots of curving, hard-to-fit detailing. Azimut even had to bring in some new expertise for this particular fit-out, according to the designer. “Some changes had to be made to deliver a yacht of this complexity and quality.”

At the interior’s heart is a circular seating area in the main saloon, which takes full advantage of the views offered by the huge windows on either beam. Getting such large panes of glass installed proved a strengthening challenge, admits Vitelli, but one the yard rose to. “If you think those are big, wait till you see the master cabin ,” she teases.

It’s becoming almost trite to exclaim at the size of windows on superyachts, since each new hull seems to present an ever more outrageous use of glass , but when they’re this big, on a yacht this size, it’s still worth saying: they are massive. And hugely impressive, pouring plenty of sharp Sardinian light into the already bright saloon. “I am obsessed by light,” Salvagni says.

Vitelli isn’t lying about the windows in the Grande 35 Metri’s main deck master cabin. They’re almost full-height and align perfectly with the bed, which Salvagni moved off the rear bulkhead to place in the middle of the room. “I keep fighting with the shipyard to keep this layout,” he says. “The connection between the bed, the view and being in the centre... you feel like a king.”

The port window has one more trick: it opens, dropping down to form a superyacht balcony — “the largest in this sector of the market”, according to Vitelli. Integral handrails in the balcony pop up, so using it is a simple, crewless operation. It adds to the floor space available, which is already ample.

A useful indicator of how much room the owners have is the fact we’re in the master cabin with perhaps 25 other people, all visitors to Azimut-Benetti’s Yachting Gala in Porto Cervo , yet no one is knocking shoulders. One of the ways Righini has managed to engineer all this volume is by designing that unusual blunt forepeak, which has allowed him to carry more hull forward and lay more deck on the bow. It’s a neat solution if you can get over how it looks, which, in the context of the Grande 35 Metri’s angles, isn’t bad.

All exterior spaces have benefitted. The foredeck seating and modest superyacht spa pool are a premier lounging space rather than an afterthought and the flybridge seems to stretch forever. “It’s the premier flybridge in the world in many senses,” says Paolo Vitelli, president and founder of Azimut-Benetti. It is a vast 70 square metre platform, made to feel bigger because all the furniture floats. “I hate to build anything against the walls, because it creates an empty space in the centre and it impacts the view,” says Salvagni.

Azimut has even squeezed in a superyacht beach club , a first for a yacht of this size. It’s not extensive, with just a bar and platform, but it will be a strong feature on charter brochures. The tender and toys sit across the lower deck ahead of this space and then you get to the engine room. This first hull is fitted with twin 2,400hp MTUs, and they give a maximum speed of 25.5 knots and a fast cruise of 21.

Azimut has used its extensive skills in carbon fibre to keep weight down — the entire superstructure is constructed with the material, for example. This adds cost, obviously, with carbon fibre coming in around 30 per cent more expensive than standard GRP, but Paolo Vitelli counters by saying this boat is around 26 per cent more efficient than the old 35 metre Azimut 116 .

“And the 116 was already a good boat,” he says. “So with the combination of the special hull with its wave piercer, carbon fibre and optimisation of everything, it’s quite a good result.” The Grande 35 Metri sits on traditional shafts and comes with both fin and gyro stabilisation. Sadly I’m not able to put either to the test as the yacht is on exhibition duty and tied firmly to the dock.

We head out instead in the yacht’s little brother, the Azimut Grande 27 Metri , and all is serene as we blast around in the short chop off Porto Cervo, suggesting good things for the performance of big bro. The market clearly thinks so too — Azimut has sold six Grande 35 Metris off plan, each with a starting price of around €12.5million. In among all that competition, the yacht has successfully found its place.

Cruising the Moskva River: A short guide to boat trips in Russia’s capital

There’s hardly a better way to absorb Moscow’s atmosphere than on a ship sailing up and down the Moskva River. While complicated ticketing, loud music and chilling winds might dampen the anticipated fun, this checklist will help you to enjoy the scenic views and not fall into common tourist traps.

How to find the right boat?

There are plenty of boats and selecting the right one might be challenging. The size of the boat should be your main criteria.

Plenty of small boats cruise the Moskva River, and the most vivid one is this yellow Lay’s-branded boat. Everyone who has ever visited Moscow probably has seen it.

This option might leave a passenger disembarking partially deaf as the merciless Russian pop music blasts onboard. A free spirit, however, will find partying on such a vessel to be an unforgettable and authentic experience that’s almost a metaphor for life in modern Russia: too loud, and sometimes too welcoming. Tickets start at $13 (800 rubles) per person.

Bigger boats offer smoother sailing and tend to attract foreign visitors because of their distinct Soviet aura. Indeed, many of the older vessels must have seen better days. They are still afloat, however, and getting aboard is a unique ‘cultural’ experience. Sometimes the crew might offer lunch or dinner to passengers, but this option must be purchased with the ticket. Here is one such  option  offering dinner for $24 (1,490 rubles).

If you want to travel in style, consider Flotilla Radisson. These large, modern vessels are quite posh, with a cozy restaurant and an attentive crew at your service. Even though the selection of wines and food is modest, these vessels are still much better than other boats.

Surprisingly, the luxurious boats are priced rather modestly, and a single ticket goes for $17-$32 (1,100-2,000 rubles); also expect a reasonable restaurant bill on top.

How to buy tickets?

Women holding photos of ships promise huge discounts to “the young and beautiful,” and give personal invitations for river tours. They sound and look nice, but there’s a small catch: their ticket prices are usually more than those purchased online.

“We bought tickets from street hawkers for 900 rubles each, only to later discover that the other passengers bought their tickets twice as cheap!”  wrote  (in Russian) a disappointed Rostislav on a travel company website.

Nevertheless, buying from street hawkers has one considerable advantage: they personally escort you to the vessel so that you don’t waste time looking for the boat on your own.

Prices start at $13 (800 rubles) for one ride, and for an additional $6.5 (400 rubles) you can purchase an unlimited number of tours on the same boat on any given day.

Flotilla Radisson has official ticket offices at Gorky Park and Hotel Ukraine, but they’re often sold out.

Buying online is an option that might save some cash. Websites such as  this   offer considerable discounts for tickets sold online. On a busy Friday night an online purchase might be the only chance to get a ticket on a Flotilla Radisson boat.

This  website  (in Russian) offers multiple options for short river cruises in and around the city center, including offbeat options such as ‘disco cruises’ and ‘children cruises.’ This other  website  sells tickets online, but doesn’t have an English version. The interface is intuitive, however.

Buying tickets online has its bad points, however. The most common is confusing which pier you should go to and missing your river tour.

“I once bought tickets online to save with the discount that the website offered,” said Igor Shvarkin from Moscow. “The pier was initially marked as ‘Park Kultury,’ but when I arrived it wasn’t easy to find my boat because there were too many there. My guests had to walk a considerable distance before I finally found the vessel that accepted my tickets purchased online,” said the man.

There are two main boarding piers in the city center:  Hotel Ukraine  and  Park Kultury . Always take note of your particular berth when buying tickets online.

Where to sit onboard?

Even on a warm day, the headwind might be chilly for passengers on deck. Make sure you have warm clothes, or that the crew has blankets ready upon request.

The glass-encased hold makes the tour much more comfortable, but not at the expense of having an enjoyable experience.

Getting off the boat requires preparation as well. Ideally, you should be able to disembark on any pier along the way. In reality, passengers never know where the boat’s captain will make the next stop. Street hawkers often tell passengers in advance where they’ll be able to disembark. If you buy tickets online then you’ll have to research it yourself.

There’s a chance that the captain won’t make any stops at all and will take you back to where the tour began, which is the case with Flotilla Radisson. The safest option is to automatically expect that you’ll return to the pier where you started.
