SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 26, 2025 – Buying a yacht is one kind of dream. Making it feel like your own floating home, set up for real life (and real work), is another—and that’s exactly what this Princess X95 retrofit story is about.

From First-Time Owners to “Live Aboard” Priorities

The owners of a new Princess X95 came to the Turnchapel facility in Plymouth with a clear goal: longer stays on board with the comfort and practicality of home. They were new to yachting, which often means you spot the gaps faster—because you’re not attached to the way things have “always” been done.

Instead of a small wish list, they arrived with specific requirements that covered day-to-day living and the modern must-have: staying connected enough to run a business remotely. It’s a very 2025 kind of luxury—not just beautiful design, but the freedom to keep your routine while changing your scenery.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 26, 2025 – If your idea of a perfect weekend starts with a horizon line and ends with dinner under the stars, the Princess X80 is designed to make that feeling last longer than a single sunset.

A New Kind of Space: The Super Flybridge Effect

The headline idea behind the Princess X80 is simple, but very lifestyle-changing: more room where you actually live. Princess says the X80’s “Super Flybridge” adds 30% more useful interior space than a traditional flybridge yacht of the same length, which is a big deal if you’ve ever tried to host friends, keep kids entertained, or just find a quiet corner on board.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 26, 2025 – If your idea of a perfect escape includes speed, sun, and a living space that feels like a boutique hotel suite at sea, the Princess S65 is calling your name—and it’s available for immediate delivery.

A Sportbridge That Feels Like a Lifestyle Upgrade

The Princess S65 is described as “recognisably S Class,” and that’s exactly the vibe: sleek lines, striking graphic styling, and the kind of presence that turns a marina stroll into a slow-motion movie moment. But this isn’t just a pretty silhouette. It’s built around flexible indoor-to-outdoor living—because on the water, your “living room” should be wherever the view is best.

Inside, the layout is designed for entertaining without feeling crowded. With four cabins, including a full-beam master stateroom, it can accommodate up to eight guests, plus a crew cabin with ensuite—so weekends with friends can still feel relaxed, not logistical.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 26, 2025 – Jeanneau is expanding its lineup with a brand-new range of power catamarans called TH, designed for boaters who want more space, more stability, and more “let’s stay out one more day” freedom on the water.

A New Catamaran Chapter for a Familiar Brand

Jeanneau says the TH range is meant to fit naturally into the brand’s universe and DNA, while helping accelerate its momentum as a multi-segment leader. In plain terms, this is a new lane for Jeanneau—one that’s built around twin hulls and the specific kind of comfort they can deliver. Power catamarans have been having a moment with modern boaters, especially those who prioritize easy living spaces and relaxed cruising over a hyper-sporty, closed-in feel.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 26, 2025 – If your idea of luxury is less about showing off and more about exhaling, Jeanneau’s new Sea Loft 480 is built for exactly that mood: slower days, quieter water, and time that finally feels like yours again.

The Sea As Your Address

Jeanneau frames the Sea Loft 480 as a new kind of habitat—part cruising boat, part traveling villa—meant for people who want their days to feel softer and more intentional. The big idea is simple: the sea isn’t just a destination, it’s the place you “live” for a while. It’s designed for shared moments, not rushed itineraries, with a layout meant to feel natural and home-like rather than “boat technical.”

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 18, 2025 – If you’ve ever walked a boat show and thought, “It looks amazing… but how does it feel at sea?”, Naples is about to offer a very different kind of answer. The Napoli Boat Show (NBS) will debut March 18–22, 2026 at Marina di Stabia in Castellammare di Stabia (NA)—with a format built around one simple idea: boats shouldn’t just be displayed, they should be ready to sail.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 10, 2025 – Crossing the Atlantic is a bucket-list milestone for many blue-water dreamers, but doing it on your own yacht, under your own command, is something else entirely – and that’s exactly what the Steeler Ocean Explorer 72 Two Bubbles just achieved on her maiden voyage from the Netherlands to Barbados.

From Dutch canals to Caribbean blue

The story starts far from palm trees and cocktails. Freshly delivered in the Netherlands, Two Bubbles slipped out into the North Sea and headed south, following a classic ocean route that feels like a farewell tour of Europe: down the Portuguese coastline, past sun-drenched marinas, then on to the Canary Islands and finally Cabo Verde.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – November 28, 2025 – At the Paris Nautic Show, two French icons are stepping onto the same stage as BENETEAU and Alpine reveal the new Gran Turismo 50 Alpine limited edition, a sport-luxury yacht designed for people who love performance on both land and sea.

Two French legends meet on the water

The Gran Turismo 50 is already the flagship of BENETEAU’s Gran Turismo line, but this new Alpine limited edition turns it into something even more special for style-conscious boaters. BENETEAU brings 140 years of boatbuilding expertise, while Alpine contributes its motorsport DNA and bold design language. Together, they’ve created a yacht that feels like a natural extension of a French performance car lifestyle.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – November 10, 2025 – SHERIDAN, WYOMING - November 11, 2025 - The Princess F58 has arrived - and it's redefining what luxury and space mean in a 58-foot yacht. With the unmistakable elegance that has made Princess Yachts a symbol of British craftsmanship, the new F58 blends refined design, cutting-edge engineering, and effortless livability in one exceptional package.

A yacht that feels far larger than its size
At 59 feet overall, the new Princess F58 Flybridge Yacht has been masterfully designed to feel like a much larger vessel. Her generous flybridge, complete with a sleek GRP hardtop and dimmable lighting, invites guests to dine, lounge, or simply take in the sea breeze in total comfort. Forward, a spacious foredeck terrace offers a second alfresco area - ideal for sunbathing or cocktails at sunset.
