Princess F65 Flybridge Motor Yacht Makes Show Debut at SCIBS 2026

The Princess F65 motor yacht is making its show debut at the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show 2026, bringing the British builder’s flagship F Class flybridge yacht to the Gold Coast with a layout focused on open-air entertaining, practical cruising and spacious guest accommodation.

Measuring 20 metres in length, the model has been designed in house by the builder, Princess. The model features large hull glazing, flowing exterior lines and a layout designed around social spaces.

Flybridge and exterior layout

A major feature onboard the yacht is the large flybridge, which includes multiple seating areas, a dining table, wet bar and aft sunpads designed for day cruising and entertaining. On the main deck aft, the cockpit links directly with the salon through sliding glass doors to create a connected indoor-outdoor space, while wide side decks lead forward to additional seating and sunpads on the bow. The model is currently on display at Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show 2026, where visitors can explore the yacht’s exterior layout and social spaces firsthand.

Interior arrangement and award recognition

Inside, the boat features a bright main deck layout shaped around large panoramic windows and an aft galley arrangement that keeps the cockpit and salon closely connected. Accommodation is arranged across four cabins for up to eight guests, including a spacious owner’s suite positioned amidships, a forward VIP cabin, and two additional guest cabins on the lower deck. The yacht was also recognised as a finalist in the Flybridge (over 60ft) category at the Motor Boat Awards 2024.
