Who Owns Princess Yachts?

Princess Yachts is a world-renowned British luxury yacht firm with a long and celebrated pedigree that began in Plymouth, England in 1965. Princess has become one of the most recognizable brands on the luxury yacht market, known for their sweeping lines, elegant styling, and exceptional functionality. Acquired by U.S.-based private-equity firm KPS Capital Partners in 2023, Princess may be guided by a continental sensibility, but remains quintessentially British, as its range of exquisite 50 to 95 foot cruising yachts continue to be crafted at the brand’s historic Plymouth shipyard.
