Princess Yachts introduced the X90 at the 2026 Cannes Yachting Festival, adding a new model between the X80 and flagship X95 Vista in its Super Flybridge range. The 90-footer brings several firsts for the British builder, including fold-down cockpit balconies, curved patio doors and an optional gullwing door from the owner’s suite to the foredeck terrace.

The expandable cockpit is designed to bring guests closer to the water, with fold-down bulwarks to port and starboard, a glass transom balustrade and 180-degree views. A wet bar, generous seating and shaded and open areas support entertaining or relaxing at anchor.

Curved glass patio doors connect the cockpit to the main deck dining area, allowing the 10-person dining table to become part of one continuous entertaining space. Even when closed, the doors maintain the visual connection to the sea.

The X90’s Super Flybridge arrangement moves the primary helm to the enclosed flybridge wheelhouse, freeing up additional volume on the main deck. Full-height glazing, an optional open or enclosed galley and a single-level layout from the forward cockpit to the owner’s suite create a spacious interior.

Forward, the main deck owner’s stateroom features expansive glazing and optional direct access to a private foredeck terrace through a gullwing door. Below deck, the standard layout includes three en-suite guest cabins, with an optional five-cabin configuration.

The X90 also introduces Princess’ new Hybrid Progressive-Planing hull, developed with Bernard Olesinski Limited. The hull is designed to improve efficiency across the speed range, with approximately 10 percent lower power requirements above 16 knots compared with the Y85, when displacements are normalized.

The new model rounds out the X Class with a combination of flexible outdoor spaces, expansive living areas and updated hull technology, giving Princess another option for owners looking to spend extended time aboard.
