The start of the super flybridge idea
The X80 is the smallest boat in the X Class, the range that reimagines the flybridge as a full-length sky lounge Princess calls a super flybridge. At 25.18 metres it delivers more than 30 per cent more useful interior space than a traditional flybridge yacht of similar length. Four cabins and berths for eight sit below a main deck and sky lounge built for extended living. Three crew can be carried to run the boat and look after guests on longer trips. It suits owners who want to spend real time aboard and voyage further afield in comfort.
The super flybridge stretches the upper deck across almost the whole length of the yacht, turning it into a second full living level. That changes the feel of the boat entirely, adding volume and light throughout the interior. The X80 is pitched at owners who value interior space and long-stay comfort above outright pace. It fills the entry slot of a distinctive class. This is a fresh answer to the question of how to live well at sea for weeks at a time.
A full-length sky lounge
The X80's defining feature is its S-shaped canopy and wrap-around glazing, which enclose a sky lounge running the length of the upper deck. Flexible seating throughout gives owners a bright, panoramic space for dining, lounging and relaxing whatever the weather. The main deck below extends almost the full length of the hull as well, adding further living volume. A broad aft cockpit connects to a bathing platform for swimming and toys. The two full decks give guests room to gather or to find their own quiet corner.
The exterior reads as a tall, glassy motor yacht with clean, modern lines that mark the class out at any marina. Large windows carry daylight deep into both decks. Deck areas fore and aft open the boat up at anchor for dining and sunbathing. Side decks are secure and generous for moving around underway. Detailing is refined and considered across the yacht.
A full-length super flybridge gives the X80 over 30 per cent more interior space than a traditional flybridge yacht.
Four cabins and generous volume
Below decks the X80 offers four guest cabins arranged around a full-beam master, with berths for up to eight. Crew quarters for three keep the boat running smoothly on longer trips and looking after guests. The extra volume of the super flybridge design carries through the whole yacht, so every space feels larger than the length suggests. A well-equipped galley supports extended cruising and entertaining for a full party. It is a layout built for long weeks aboard.
Interiors use the current X Class palette of pale timbers, soft leathers and refined fittings. Light and volume make the accommodation feel open and calm, even with a full complement aboard. Stowage is generous for long cruises, with wardrobes and lockers throughout. Separate crew access keeps service discreet. The main deck flows to the cockpit for relaxed indoor-outdoor living.
MAN V12 cruising
The X80 can be specified with twin MAN V12 engines at 1,650 hp or 1,900 hp each, matched to a hull built for comfortable, easy cruising. With a displacement of 62.5 tonnes it settles into a calm, secure passage in open water. Handling is composed and reassuring at the helm, so longer legs pass in comfort. The engine choice lets an owner balance pace against economy for their cruising grounds. It is a yacht built to cover distance without fuss.
A 7,000 litre fuel tank gives useful range for extended coastal and offshore cruising. Crew support makes longer passages straightforward and keeps the boat well run. Engine access supports routine maintenance and daily checks. The V12s keep noise low across two full decks of accommodation. The X80 is tuned for the relaxed, long-stay character the class is built around.
Who the X80 is for
The X80 suits the owner who wants maximum interior space and a boat built for spending long stretches aboard. The super flybridge gives two full living decks, ideal for families and guests on extended cruises. Crew quarters mean the yacht can be run properly on longer trips and guests can be looked after. Owners who value volume, light and time at sea over top speed will find it compelling.
It also draws buyers moving up from a large flybridge who want a fresh take on motor yacht living and far more room. The X80 is the entry point to a distinctive class and its way of using space. Its long-stay comfort makes it a genuine home on the water. For the owner who wants to voyage further and live well aboard, the X80 is the entry to a rewarding class.
Who it is for: The owner who wants maximum interior space and a yacht built for extended time aboard, with a full-length super flybridge, four cabins and room for crew.
