Princess is the British yard from Plymouth, building motor yachts since 1965 and best known for its flybridge yachts. Most Princesses you can charter are 60 to 99 feet, and the largest are the 30 to 40 meter yachts for 10 to 12 guests.
A crewed Princess of 100 to 131 feet costs about €116,000 to €123,500 a week in high season in Greece, Croatia and the South of France, and a 95 to 105 footer about $97,500 in the Bahamas. The smaller 60 to 89 footers run about €20,000 to €45,500.
We charter Princesses in Greece, Croatia, the South of France and the Bahamas, and our guide for each destination is linked below.

- Flybridges: the F and Y Class yachts have a big flybridge for dining, sunbathing and the view, and they are a common sight in every Mediterranean marina.
- The X Class: the X95 carries a flybridge almost as large as the deck below it.
- British build: designed and built in Plymouth, on the south coast of England.
- Value: a Princess usually costs less a week than an Italian yacht of the same length.

High-season weekly rates of the Princesses of 60 feet and up, built 2000 or later, in our charter system, October 2026. Mediterranean yachts are priced in euros and American yachts in dollars.
The APA for running costs, usually 30 to 40% on a motor yacht, plus local VAT or charter tax and the crew gratuity, come on top.
The smaller Princesses cost less but carry two or three crew and fewer cabins. For a fully crewed week we recommend a Princess of about 95 feet and up.
