British shipyard Princess Yachts has introduced the latest model in its X Class series, known as the X90. This 27.4-meter yacht will slot between the 24.3-meter X80 and the flagship of the series, the X95 Vista, with its launch expected in 2026.
The new model distinguishes itself from others in the lineup with its sleek, open-plan cockpit, featuring a glass transom and folding bulwark balconies that enhance the space and offer 180-degree views “whether standing or seated.” The seating area includes sofas, a wet bar, and an optional television.
Accommodation comprises three double cabins, including a master suite located forward on the main deck, which benefits from 180-degree glazing. An optional gullwing door offers private access to the foredeck terrace, used for deck gear when not in use. The main deck also incorporates a galley that can be customized either as an open space to the main saloon with a sociable breakfast bar or as a fully enclosed area. For the first time, the X90 presents curved patio doors that connect the cockpit to the main saloon, transforming the formal 10-person dining table into an outdoor dining experience when opened.
Additionally, the flybridge features the series’ signature skylounge equipped with sofa seating on both port and starboard sides, plus the option for an 85-inch television. Sliding doors provide access to the enclosed wheelhouse, while an outdoor dining table is positioned at the rear. The aft deck is among the model’s most customizable areas, offering options such as a spa bath, a bar, a tender crane, or an open space for modular furniture.
The flybridge foredeck serves as another outdoor hub, featuring both forward and aft-facing seating areas and a coffee table that can be converted into sun loungers by adjusting the backrest.
The X90 is designed to reach a maximum speed of 28 knots.
As reported by BOATPro, Princess Yachts currently has 18 yachts on order or under construction. The shipyard is also showcasing the first S80 – the flagship of its S Class range – at this year’s Cannes Yachting Festival.
