Boat Lagoon Yachting exhibited the first Y95 for the model’s Asia premiere in Singapore.
Boat Lagoon Yachting hosted the invitation-only Asia premiere of the Princess Y95 at ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove, where guests were able to see and tour hull one of the British shipyard’s latest 95ft model.
An open-flybridge version of the X95, the Y95 had its show debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September featuring a second unit sold by Boat Lagoon Yachting.

The regional dealer, which has represented Princess in Southeast Asia since 1994, has since confirmed a third sale of the Y95, which is expected to arrive in the region in 2024.
Vrit Yongsakul, Group Managing Director of Boat Lagoon Yachting, said: “We’re very confident in the Southeast Asia market for luxury yachts in the 95ft category, as we’ve seen particularly high movement recently at the upper end of the market.
“Over only the past two years, we’ve arranged the sale of five 95ft Princess yachts, with two of the X95 and three Y95s. This is why we feel that the Princess Y95 is so important here at this time, so we’re really thrilled to be introducing it in Singapore.”
Like most recent Princess models, the Y95 was designed by the Plymouth shipyard in collaboration with Olesinski for naval architecture and Italian design house Pininfarina for exterior styling.
“Luxury yachts and the Singaporean lifestyle can be a perfect combination for those seeking an extravagant and culturally rich experience. Singapore is considered as the financial hub for the yachting business in this region,” Vrit said.
“Moreover, owners have idyllic sailing waters here. They can explore islands like Lazarus, St John’s, Seringat and Kusu, as well as Semakau, which offer pristine beaches, clear waters and opportunities for snorkelling and water sports. Or with a large-capacity yacht like the Y95, owners can easily cruise up to the beautiful Andaman Sea coast off Thailand and other destinations where the yachting conditions are perfect such as Phuket or Phang Nga Bay.”
