SHERIDAN, WYOMING – April 12, 2025 – SHERIDAN, WYOMING – April 12, 2025 - A Legendary Voyage: Princess Yachts Marks 60 Years of Innovation and Elegance
Princess Yachts, a name synonymous with craftsmanship and innovation in the world of luxury motor yachts, proudly celebrates its 60th anniversary this year. Equally celebrating the milestone is the company’s largest global distributor, Princess Motor Yacht Sales, which also reaches its own 60-year mark in 2025.
Founded in Plymouth, Devon, in August 1965 by David King, Princess Yachts began its journey as Marine Projects. It was a humble start in a rented shed on Newport Street, where King and two partners completed their first vessel—Project 31—for just £3,400. This first model launched what would become one of the most successful luxury yacht brands in the world.
