British yard Princess Yachts has announced the latest addition to its X Class series, known as the X90. The 27.4-metre model will sit between the 24.3-metre X80 and the series flagship, the X95 Vista. Launch is anticipated for 2026.
The new model stands out from other yachts in the range with her low, open-plan cockpit, designed with a glass transom and folding bulwark balconies that extend the space and provide 180 degree views "whether standing or seated". The rest of the space is arranged with sofa seating, a wet bar and an optional television.
Accommodation is across three double cabins, including an owner's suite forward of the main deck and benefitting from 180-degree glazing. An optional gullwing door can provide private access to the foredeck terrace, which houses deck gear when not in use. The main deck also features the galley which can be customised to be open to the main saloon with a sociable breakfast bar or fully enclosed. In a first for the shipyard, the X90 features curved patio doors that connect the cockpit to the main saloon and, when opened, turn the formal, 10-person dining table al fresco.
Meanwhile, the flybridge features the range's signature skylounge with sofa seating to port and starboard and the option to fit an 85-inch television screen. Sliding doors lead to the enclosed wheelhouse, while an al fresco dining table can be found aft. There aft deck is one of the model's most customisable spaces, including the option to instal a spa bath, a bar, a tender crane or a clear space for modular furniture.
The final outdoor hub is the flybridge foredeck, which features forward and aft facing seating areas and a coffee table which can be converted to sunloungers by flipping the backrest.
The X90 will be able to reach a maximum speed of 28 knots.
According to BOATPro, Princess Yachts has 18 yachts on order or currently under construction. The shipyard is currently debuting the first S80 – the flagship of its S Class range – at this year's Cannes Yachting Festival.
