Set for its world debut, the Princess F54 replaces the Princess F50 with a 16.24-meter length, 4.5-meter beam, and updated layouts. The model brings new exterior styling and a hardtop choice, marking an important update to the British yard’s flybridge line.
The annoucement of the new yacht represents the evolution of Princess’s flybridge design language, balancing proportions that provide both presence on the water and practical living space, positioning itself at the upper end of the mid-sized flybridge segment. The introduction of a hardtop option acknowledges shifting client expectations, particularly among owners looking for extended seasonal cruising opportunities in varied climates.
Styling refinements include a reshaped transom and a more integrated aft deck arrangement, while at the bow, a redesigned sunpad with adjustable headrests is paired with forward-facing seating and an optional teak table. The lines are sharper than its predecessor, but the focus remains on creating outdoor areas that are functional for both relaxation and hosting.
Interior Design
Inside the motor yacht, Princess has adopted an aft galley layout with a dedicated dinette - an uncommon feature in yachts of this size. The galley’s position links directly with the cockpit, encouraging a natural flow between indoor and outdoor spaces. A multi-positional backrest in the cockpit seating further adapts the arrangement, shifting between an aft-facing sofa and a sunbed.
Below deck, accommodation is centered around a full-beam owner’s stateroom with ensuite bathroom. Two additional cabins: a forward double and a twin with optional double conversion expand the guest arrangement. An optional aft crew cabin with bunk, toilet, and storage allows the model to function as either an owner-operated or lightly crewed yacht. The inclusion of options such as a washer/dryer installation or extended fuel tanks points to a design that anticipates longer trips as well as shorter coastal runs.
Technical Advances
Propulsion comes from twin Volvo D13-900 engines, delivering a maximum speed of 34 knots. At this scale, performance remains a defining factor for many clients, and Princess has balanced speed with efficiency, keeping the hull form within the yard’s established parameters for stability and handling.
The yard has also expanded the use of Princess Connect, its integrated telemetry system. Installed from the factory, it provides real-time data on GPS position, engine diagnostics, and tank levels, while also linking to maintenance schedules and manuals through a mobile platform. For owners, this offers a greater level of operational oversight and simplifies contact with dealers and the yard for support.
On-deck Features
The flybridge arrangement highlights the F54’s focus on social use. Companion seating with a sunpad conversion, a dining area with folding teak table, and an aft storage unit that can be specified as a wet bar all contribute to adaptable space. The wet bar option incorporates a coolbox, grill, sink, and storage, aligning with demand for extended time spent outdoors. The optional hardtop roof provides shelter without sacrificing the open-air quality of the flybridge, particularly valued during long summer days or in regions with stronger midday sun.
The aft deck has been reconsidered to allow for more flexibility at the water’s edge. A linear bathing platform capable of carrying a Williams TurboJet 285 tender gives the yacht practical tender-handling capacity, while a new walkaround transom design simplifies movement across the deck. Aft-facing seating with a movable backrest establishes the deck as a social area in its own right, in closer contact with the water.
Fleet Context
The introduction of the F54 is notable for its role in updating one of Princess’s most established model lines. The F50 has been a core product in the yard’s flybridge offering, and the decision to increase both length and beam suggests a response to how clients are using yachts in this bracket. Owners are increasingly expecting full-beam staterooms, flexible guest accommodation, and features once reserved for larger yachts, such as hardtops and advanced stabilisation.

With its performance figures, accommodation layout, and technology package, the F54 positions itself as a bridge between entry-level flybridge yachts and the larger Princess F65 Yacht.
