This New 95-Foot Superyacht Is Like an Open-Plan Loft on the Water
Design-wise, the princess x95 is a rule-breaker. it's not only open and spacious inside, but also has an explorer hull for long-distance cruising., julia zaltzman, julia zaltzman's most recent stories.

Princess Yachts officially debuted its new X95 Monday on Facebook Live, a platform that has become a sign of these times—virtual launches, instead of real boats at boat shows. But the unusual design of the X-series’ flagship also signals changing times for Princess, showing a bolder, more creative period for the UK builder, which is now making new design rules instead of following them.

The X95—the “X” unofficially standing for explorer—is not only a sea change for Princess, but also for the 100-foot segment of the superyacht world. Princess’s goals for the X95 were an “open concept” and supersized flybridge, so owners would have greater freedom for layout choices, increased living space and more amenities in a smaller hull.
“We pushed the design language forward on this design,” Antony Sheriff, Princess chairman, said during a press conference last Thursday. “This was never going to be a traditional boat, but we asked ourselves how we could push it forward as a new design and still have it recognizable as a Princess.”
The X-95 has the same interior volume as a 115-foot yacht. It reaches a top speed of 24 knots, but, at 10 knots, has a range of 2000 miles. Princess Yachts
The Princess team, working with its longtime naval architect Bernard Olesinski and Italian design house Pininfarina, spent months hammering out the initial concept. “We had everyone in the room during design reviews and that collaboration really stretched where we wanted to take the boat,” says Sheriff. “We also went into a level of detail that is standard in the auto industry, but not in the boating world.”
The details, both large and small, included making sure that exterior surfaces like the arch on the flybridge reflected light normally in all conditions. “Details like that make a big difference,” says Sheriff. “If the surface reflected light oddly at sundown, for instance, it would make that part of the yacht look off.”
There were even larger modifications to the interior. The designers decided to remove an internal helm and instead made the helm on the top deck the primary station for driving the yacht.
The sky lounge on the yacht offers excellent visibility, not only through the side windows, but also in the front and rear. Having this much space on the upper deck is a highly unusual design for a yacht this size.
“The midway helm works for some, but it positions quite a large cockpit on the main deck, often leaving a small technical space beneath the helm position,” Andy Lawrence, Princess’s director of design told Robb Report . “By deleting the lower helm, owners can now use the main deck without interruption.”
In other words, instead of having a steering station in the middle of the room, owners can turn the long, unbroken space into a master suite, library, or cinema, or anything else that they fancy. Lawrence says this “open concept” provides 80-foot-long views from the rear of the boat all the way through the salon, up to the bow. That sense of openness is the same as an urban loft, where internal walls do not distort the view. Combine the sweeping space with an open-plan galley, Lawrence says, and the design becomes very popular with American yachtsmen.
“They like their open kitchen arrangements and to have the crew involved with the daily workings of the boat,” he says.
Room With a View: By taking out the helm station on the second deck, Princess designers could add a full-beam master suite with no structural impediments. Princess Yachts
Beyond open space, supersizing interior volume was also a major design goal. The 670-foot interior is actually a 40 percent increase on comparable sized yachts . It’s even 200 square feet larger than the interior on Princess’ 114-foot model.
“Because you don’t have that helm hanging through the middle, we can play with different configurations and look at different usages,” says Lawrence.
Other big changes on the X95 include the sky lounge, which has been relocated to the top deck to optimize views. The beach club area also has a lounge area and galley which can either be used as guest space or extra crew cabin. Customized steps that extend backwards were added to the stern to turn the area into a transformer platform.
The designers paid very close attention to details on this yacht, including how light reflected off exterior surfaces at different times of the day.
“It’s the first time we’ve used this kind of mechanism and it was made fully bespoke by Opacmare for us,” says Lawrence. “It’s about five feet wider than the biggest one they make, so it was quite a piece of engineering—and probably took about as long to develop as the rest of the boat.”
Increased efficiencies were designed into the X95. Deck space was increased by 10 percent, thanks to the “super flybridge,” which, unlike conventional flybridge models, is one continuous level. The new hull design offers 15 percent increased efficiency while running.
The unusual configuration includes a large foredeck on the top level.
Naval architect Olesinski’s wave-piercing bow “artificially extends the waterline length of the boat,” says Lawrence. “Combined with the shape of the hull, that’s what gives you the efficiency.”
The yacht will have a range of 2,000 miles at a 10-knot cruising speed, but it also reaches a highly respectable top end of 24 knots.
The first X95 has been delivered and the owners are enjoying a shakedown cruise in the Med. Annie Reed of the Princess Design Studio said so much open interior spaces allows owners many ways to configure the yacht. Hull number one has book shelves on the main deck so the owner can keep his prized library on board. By contrast, the second boat will have floor-to-ceiling windows to allow in more light. “It’s those kinds of requests that the Princess Design Studio works well with,” she said. “It’s part of our ability to understand different international lifestyles.”
The open galley area allows clear line of sight from the rear cockpit up to the forward section of the main deck. Princess Yachts
Sheriff, who came to Princess after running automobile manufacturer McLaren, says an X80 will be next in its X series. “This product stands on its own feet,” he said “It’s a really compelling recipe—significantly more interior volume and extended range. This product is a very different option for our customers.”
“It’s always good to have someone coming from outside the industry with fresh eyes to just look at what you’re doing and ask questions,” says Lawrence, regarding Sheriff. “Why do you do it like that? Why do people use the flybridge in that manner? I think it was a result of those questions that pushed us to come up with this new concept.”
With ten X95 models sold to different owners around the world, it would seem that the theory is working.

Review of X-95
Basic specs..
The hull is made of hand laid fibreglass while the deck is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of hand laid fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season. And outside the sailing season, just bottom cleaning and perhaps anti-fouling painting once a year - a few hours of work, that's all. The hull is a double hull which improves the indoor climate. Especially when the water is colder than the air in the cabin, then the double hull insulates against cold water and reduce the condense water in the cabin. The deck is a double deck which improves the indoor climate.
The interior is like many other boats made of mahogany. Mahogany belongs to the hardwood species, known for being water-repellent and resistant to decay. It has an attractive wood grain and holds wood polish and varnish well. The boat is equipped with 8 berths, a galley, 100.0 liter fresh water capacity and toilet facility. Note: the boat has also been sold to be self-made/-interiored, which means that the quality of each boat may vary.
X-95 has more than one rig. One option is a fractional rig. A fractional rig has smaller headsails which make tacking easier, which is an advantage for cruisers and racers, of course. The downside is that having the wind from behind often requires a genaker or a spinnaker for optimal speed. Another option is a masthead rig. The advantage of a masthead rig is its simplicity and the fact that a given sail area - compared with a fractional rig - can be carried lower and thus with less heeling moment.
The X-95 has been built with different keel alternatives.
Unknown keel type
The keel is made of iron. Many people prefer lead keel in favour of iron. The main argument is that lead is much heavier than iron and a lead keel can therefore be made smaller which again result in less wet surface, i.e. less drag. In fact iron is quite heavy, just 30% less heavy than lead, so the advantage of a lead keel is often overstated. As the surface of a fin type keel is just a fraction of the total wet surface, the difference between an iron keel and a lead keel can in reality be ignored for cruising yachts.
The boat can enter most marinas as the draft is just about 1.73 - 1.83 meter (5.68 - 5.98 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.
The X-95 is equipped with a fin keel. A boat with a fin keel is more manoeuvrable but has less directional stability than a similar boat with a full keel.
This keel is also made of iron.
The boat can only enter major marinas as the draft is about 1.80 - 1.90 meter (5.91 - 6.21 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.
X-95 is typically equipped with an inboard Yanmar diesel engine at 15 hp (11 kW). The speed is 7.0 knots.
The fuel tank, which is made of stainless steel, has a capacity of 50.0 liters (13 US gallons, 10 imperial gallons).
Sailing characteristics
This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.
What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)?
The capsize screening value for X-95 is 2.18, indicating that this boat would not be accepted to participate in ocean races.
What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?
The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 7.0 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.
The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for X-95 is about 181 kg/cm, alternatively 1014 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 181 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 1014 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

X95: On board the space-age superyacht from Princess
Related articles, superyacht directory.
The Princess X95 has a forward-thinking design and a layout that allows room for comfort and creativity says Kevin Koenig , who steps on board hull 14.
The 29.1-metre Princess X95 looks like no other Princess before her. Introduced via a digital launch in summer 2020 at the height of the pandemic, the X95 follows industry trends toward building boats in this size and class with a plumb bow, without quite going the full monty. Instead, the yacht has a wave piercer that extends her waterline and which also lines up with the peak of her bow deck.
Negative space in between the two is a function of design. “A true plumb bow can generate quite a bit of spray,” says Andy Lawrence, Princess’s director of design. “We have a more relaxed angle [as the bow approaches the waterline]. It’s inverted and diverts the water more efficiently.” What Princess has done here is effectively combine the best of both worlds.
The look of the X95 is at once striking and unexpected, particularly for the comparatively staid British builder. On display at the Fort Lauderdale boat show and surrounded by her more conservatively drawn sisterships, the X95’s aggressive styling stands out.
“This is a bit of a departure for us,” Lawrence says. “There is a different look and feel aesthetically going on here. It takes a while to accept that for some, but it feels like this is the way the market is going right now. These boat profiles are going to change because people want more living space. The design of this boat [done by Pininfarina and Olesinksi, in conjunction with Princess] was really about trying to maximise the amount of usable real estate, and floor space.”
The yacht also uses a notable amount of glass in her construction, which pays dividends when capturing the elusive goal of bringing the outside in. “There are 85 pieces of glass used on this boat,” he says. “They’re big pieces too, three metres long by 1.5 metres wide, so to physically maneuver it is a challenge from a manufacturing perspective, but we are used to dealing with it now. The factory has H-frame lifting rigs with suction cups to lift the glass up, and then beam cranes overhead to manoeuver them around the factory floor. They’re simply too big to be manually handled. It’s a good bit of work of course but we think it is worth it, and by that I mean for visibility. We want as few mullions as possible.”
From glancing at the X95, one could be forgiven for wondering if the entire superstructure is made of glass. It is not of course, but it does appear that way. Regardless, Lawrence explains that the structural integrity of the X95 is not up for debate. “The glass is very strong,” he says. “It’s subjected to the same load pressures as the rest of the hull, but the hull itself has structural reinforcements that support it whether the glass is there or not.”
Besides the space-age exterior aesthetic the glass affords the boat, there are of course other advantages. Natural light is abundant, and can be felt perhaps most keenly on the main deck. On the first 13 iterations of this hull, that space encompassed both the saloon and the de rigueur owner’s cabin on main deck.
However, the owners of the 14th hull took a different tack, placing their cabin at amidships on the lower accommodations level. The galley is up and forward on the main deck, reflecting an American penchant for using the cooking space as an entertaining space as well. It’s a layout option Lawrence expects to become popular once it is photographed and publicized. “What’s been done with that main deck on that boat is simply incredible,” he says. “You can walk in the aft door and see 18 metres straight to the front, so it feels absolutely enormous.”
A feeling of enormity was important during this vessel’s design. “We really wanted to pack as much in as possible,” Lawrence says, yet “we didn’t want to crest that 24 metre (at load line) mark for various reasons. For example, you can make the boat 1.5 metres longer, but then you need more crew, and corresponding crew space, so you really end up with the same amount of boat. And if you go three metres bigger well, that’s a different size boat, isn’t it? Plus, by capping the boat at the length she is, we put a cap on the price. But with all the glass we use, and a beam that carries well forward, we think people will be impressed when they step aboard and see just how big she really is inside.”
It’s a difference Princess is betting will be a massive success.

X95's???
- Thread starter Viking
- Start date 8 May 2002
X95\'s??? I am thinking of looking at a X95. How I know they are basical a racing boat. But what about cruising? Any throughts?
Re: X95\'s??? These are pretty rare boats, there are a lot more X99's, but I believe that they are very similar. I've never sailed an X95, but I have an X99, so I'll describe that. Cruising in boats like these is possible, but can be tiring and squashed. I find in my X99 that the main limitation when cruising is storage space, water and fuel capacity and the amount of discomfort the crew can bear. Also with deep fin keels they are limited to deep water harbours - they don't take kindly to drying out on their fin. They are also difficult to sail short handed (less than 3 people) because correct operation of the running backstays is important. F7 in open water is the maximum windspeed you would choose to sail in, beyond that they are light displacement and get knocked about, especially upwind. The engine really is an auxilliary, and you won't go fast in a headwind, they are meant to be sailed. On the positive side, performance is sparkling and up to F6 you will leave everyone of a similar size standing, and will be able to sail when others are motoring. This performance definitely has advantages even when cruising. An X99 can average 10 knots on white sails, and an X95 won't be far behind. I've seen 14.2 knots from mine on white sails. They are not really designed as dual purpose cruiser/racer, they are a racing boat. If you want a boat that really sails well at the expense of comfort and convenience, get one. If the actual sailing experience to you is secondary to the whole cruising experience, get a more comfortable forgiving boat. See www.xrayted.freeserve.co.uk for an account of my summer cruise last year.
Re: X95\'s??? Thanks for your throughts. I know they can be a lively boat. I do like to sail, but short handed. I am still going to have a look this weekend. My sailing area is in the Norwegian fjords, so it can be head or tail winds. No problem with depth. The trouble here is there are too few boats on the market up here were I live, Ålesund. I have a look and make my mind up, bearing strongly in mind your input. Thanks again!
Re: X95\'s??? Let us know what you decide. If you do get the X95, there are many X99 class associations and web sites that will probably be of interest to you because they are so similar.

Re: X99\'s Is the build quality on the X99 the same as the bigger X boats? In general I can't help think that if it is, then the X99 represents good value for money as a used boat. (Appreciate that the fit out inside is different)
Re: X99\'s The build quality of all X-Yachts, including X99s, is excellent. The X99 is lightly built, but that is its design. Also the design has not changed since it was launched (about 15 years ago), which shows that it was good to start with. They are still sold new. The fit out inside is not totally sparse, but is not designed with comfort as a priority, rather designed for lightness and offshore racing. For example, the head is not enclosed, but the sea berths are excellent. They are good value second hand, but that's because they are too racing oriented for most people. Keeping sails in good condition is expensive. Mine has 9.

Re: X99\'s Many thanks again. I keep you posted! Trouble is my old crew in UK we would eat it. But its putting a new crew together here maybe a problem. (not many 'sail'ors - see djuice!) I check out your 2001 Round Brit trip. It looked hard work? You seemed to cruise in the X99 OK? Regards

A boat with a BN of 1.6 or greater is a boat that will be reefed often in offshore cruising. Derek Harvey, "Multihulls for Cruising and Racing", International Marine, Camden, Maine, 1991, states that a BN of 1 is generally accepted as the dividing line between so-called slow and fast multihulls.
The philosophy behind the X-95 is simple - to create the very best yacht possible at 30 metres. The result is a triumph of design, style, function and form, with an all-aluminium build and performance predicted at 22 to 24 knots, plus a design feature that will enable the X-95 to carry one of the largest tenders in its size bracket.

Tested: Princess X95. A futuristic design sends Princess to the moon. Princess X95. It was a bold move. In 1965, most British boatbuilders targeting the newly prosperous middle classes were making speedboats and runabouts that could be towed behind the family Ford Cortina. Down in Plymouth, a young engineer named David King had other ideas.
The all-new X-95 started with a simple premise - to create the very best possible yacht at 30 metres. The result is a stunning new addition to the Xtreme range, combining sculpted style, function and form in a 29-metre aluminium hull that draws on Holterman's 60 years of yachtbuilding prowess and the combined experience of developing the Xtreme range.
X95: On board the space-age superyacht from Princess. The Princess X95 has a forward-thinking design and a layout that allows room for comfort and creativity says Kevin Koenig, who steps on board hull 14. The 29.1-metre Princess X95 looks like no other Princess before her. Introduced via a digital launch in summer 2020 at the height of the ...
The X-95 is no exception to that rule, and will appeal to many a keen sailor. The boat is relatively easy to sail with a small crew, but offers all trim options for optimal performance. On deck the hardware is both well chosen and well placed, just where the crew requires it. The mast has rod rigging and can be trimmed with back and checkstays.

J/95 Review. It s not often that you get to sail in a brand new boat, especially one that has been in the water for less than 48-hours. But, as luck (and some help from our good friends at J/Boats), editor Peter Nielsen and senior editor David Schmidt got invited down to Portsmouth, RI in late March for an early season sail on the new J/95, a ...
An X99 can average 10 knots on white sails, and an X95 won't be far behind. I've seen 14.2 knots from mine on white sails. They are not really designed as dual purpose cruiser/racer, they are a racing boat. If you want a boat that really sails well at the expense of comfort and convenience, get one.

The performance numbers that Princess was touting during the press event were impressive. With MAN V12-1900 diesel inboards in the basement, the company reports a top speed in the 24- to 26-knot range. Throttle back to a 10-knot cruise and, says Princess, and you can expect a range of approximately 2,000 nautical miles, thanks to a whopping ...
It takes into consideration "reported" sail area, displacement and length at waterline. The higher the number the faster speed prediction for the boat. A cat with a number 0.6 is likely to sail 6kts in 10kts wind, a cat with a number of 0.7 is likely to sail at 7kts in 10kts wind. KSP = (Lwl*SA÷D)^0.5*0.5
The J/95, with the center of ballast closer to the flotation plane, resists this tendency, making for a more efficient-and more comfortable-ride. Of course, any of the J/95s gains during a rough beat are soon relinquished to the J/105s longer waterline on a downwind leg, but the point is made.
