Plymouth-based Princess Yachts was founded in Plymouth, England, in 1965 as a passion project between ex-Naval Officer Dave King and two friends.
Previously known as Marine Projects (Plymouth) Limited, the yard epitomizes the best of British manufacturing, from its quality craftsmanship, design and engineering pedigree, to the refined elegant and luxury interior styling of its craft. In 2001 Marine Projects became what is known today as Princess Yachts. Today, Princess shipyards cover an area of over 1.1 million square feet, where a high-skilled team from designers to engineers craft yachts of international acclaim.

Recognized for a detailed-oriented culture of innovation, the yacht builder designs and constructs high-quality production and semi-production luxury motor yachts in fiberglass composite. Princess runs dedicated in-house departments for a variety of specialist tasks that most builders are compelled to outsource, enabling the company to design and build 80% of its components in-house. Princess runs a dedicated metal shop and its own specialist loom shop, which provides them the ability to alter designs mid-build and incorporate customer requests with flexibility.

Timeless elegance, sophistication, and impeccable yacht building quality defines Princess Yachts. This yacht builder is highly recognized around the world, operating in 119 globally. With more than 60 years of experience, the company has become a leader in yacht building and an internationally-acclaimed brand for its modern yacht design, which embodies hand-crafted, hand-finished detailing for yachts and superyachts.
