MAKING WAVES

From the very first glance it’s clear that the futuristic X95, the latest flagship superyacht from Princess Yachts, looks nothing like anything else on the market. This unique, artistic collaboration sees renowned naval architect Bernard Olesinski partnering with Italian luxury car designer Pininfarina, and the result is a welcome break from traditional superyacht norms. From the moment one steps aboard, the ship’s grandeur is unmistakable – with a length of nearly 29 metres and a beam width of almost seven metres. The outdoor cockpit is protected from the sun and rain by the elongated flybridge, while the padded, wraparound couch seating area and outdoor bar are accented by sophisticated teakwood finishing. Below deck there are two spacious VIP cabins and two chic side cabins, while above the main deck sits the incredible “sky lounge”. Finally, two bow seating areas complete the luxurious layout, with the top level featuring a built-in Jacuzzi. This month, Boat Lagoon Yachting, the exclusive representative in Thailand for Princess Yachts, will be welcoming the very first X95 superyacht to Phuket.
