The latest S Class thinking
The S74 is the most recently developed boat in the S Class, drawn to carry the sportbridge concept onto a larger, faster hull. At 23.09 metres it sits between the S65 and the flagship S80, with production set to follow soon. Full-length hull windows and an updated exterior mark it out as the newest of the line. It blends the low, sporting profile of the class with the space of a 23 metre yacht below. For owners who want the latest S Class, it is the one to watch, and the one that best shows where the range is heading.
The sportbridge keeps the streamlined look that defines the range, then scales it up with more length and volume. The larger hull brings more room to the saloon and the accommodation below without spoiling the profile. The S74 is pitched at owners who cruise regularly and want performance with real presence at the dock. It slots neatly into the heart of the class between the compact S65 and the flagship. This is the boat that modernises the middle of the S line.
Fresh exterior and full-length glass
The headline of the S74 is its glazing, with full-length hull windows that flood the interior with light and give the profile a long, fast look. The updated exterior sharpens the graphic styling the class is known for. The sportbridge carries an outdoor helm, dining and lounging high above the water, giving guests a social space with a view. A wide cockpit connects to a broad bathing platform for swimming and toys. It is a deck plan built for a family that lives outdoors on a fine day.
The streamlined superstructure and raked screen give the boat its sporting stance from any angle. Large deck areas open the yacht up at anchor, with room to sunbathe and dine without crowding. The foredeck adds a further sun lounge for quiet time. Clean detailing runs across the boat in the Princess manner. It looks quick even standing still.
Full-length hull windows, an updated exterior and 38 knots make the S74 the freshest sportbridge in the range.
Space beneath a sporting profile
Below decks the S74 uses its 23 metre hull to deliver generous accommodation, with a main deck and lower deck layout shown in the yard's plans. Full-length hull windows carry daylight deep into the interior, keeping every space bright. The full-beam master and further cabins take a family and guests in comfort for a proper cruise. The galley and saloon support real entertaining for a full table. It is a layout that makes the most of the extra length over the S65.
Interiors follow the current Princess palette of pale timbers, soft upholstery and refined fittings. Volume and light make the lower deck feel open despite the low, sporting profile above. Stowage is worked through the layout for longer trips aboard. The saloon flows to the cockpit for indoor-outdoor living when the weather allows. The overall feel is that of a small superyacht wrapped in a sports profile.
Superyacht pace
The S74 is powered by twin MAN V12-1800 engines rated at 1,800 hp each, driving it to a top speed of around 38 knots. That gives the boat genuine sports pace on a 23 metre hull, a rare combination at this size. The hull stays composed at speed and settles quickly at anchor. Handling is confident and precise at the helm, with the reassurance a bigger boat needs at pace. It covers ground fast without ever feeling on edge.
A 4,500 litre fuel tank supports coastal cruising and longer passages between anchorages. The powertrain is tuned for fast, comfortable running. Engine access supports routine servicing and daily checks. The V12s carry the boat's weight and speed with ease. The S74 has the pace to back up its looks.
Who the S74 is for
The S74 suits the owner who wants the newest sportbridge thinking on a larger hull, with the pace of a sports yacht and the space of a 23 metre boat. Full-length glazing and an updated exterior appeal to buyers who value fresh design and a boat that turns heads. Its speed and presence make it a real statement at the marina. Owners who cruise regularly will use every deck across a season.
It also draws buyers between the S65 and S80 who want the latest features and more length under them. The S74 can be run with crew for longer trips and by a very capable owner on shorter ones. Its blend of pace and volume makes it a compelling all-rounder. For the owner who wants the most current S Class, it is the boat to specify.
Who it is for: The owner who wants the latest sportbridge design on a larger hull, with sports-yacht pace, full-length glazing and the presence of a 23 metre yacht.
