About Princess Yachts
Princess Yachts International plc was originally founded in 1965 as Marine Projects (Plymouth) Ltd to fit out and charter the ‘Project 31’, the first boat to be built at the Company’s original factory facilities in Newport Street, Plymouth.
When the boat was subsequently sold, further orders were taken for Project 31’s and the idea of fitting out boats for sale was realised. A number of new models followed ranging from 20 to 30 feet which were marketed as ‘Projects’ and ‘Pilgrims’, until the first boat developed using in-house GRP hull mouldings was launched in 1970; the Princess 32.
More than 1,200 Princess 32’s were sold over the following ten years, firmly establishing the Princess name in important markets across the globe and creating a lasting association between the Princess brand and timeless, elegant design, impeccable quality and class-leading performance at sea.
Over the ensuing years the Company has built on this reputation and has introduced more than 80 new model lines. The Company now owns and operates from over 1,000,000 ft2 (94,000 m2) of vertically integrated factory facilities and has become one of the most respected names in the marine industry.
Today we remain absolutely committed to creating some of the world’s most exciting hand-built motor yachts.
