Princess X80 With Immediate Delivery: How a Nearly Finished Hull Comes to Market

A Princess X80 ready for handover now — does that exist? As of this season, yes, exactly once. Hull X80188 is weeks from completion at Plymouth and for sale, because the private buyer who ordered and specified her stepped away before delivery. For anyone who wants an X80 this year instead of ordering one and waiting, this is the boat — listed at anewyacht.com/offers/princess-x80-hull-x80188, sold through a licensed Princess representative.

Why "immediate delivery" almost never happens

Yachts of this size are not built on speculation. Every X80 that exists was ordered by someone, which is why the phrase "immediate delivery" barely exists in this market. It takes a specific, uncommon event — a fully paid specification meeting a change in the owner's circumstances — to put a new hull on the market at the moment it is nearly finished.

What you take delivery of

Not a base boat rushed out of the shed. X80188 carries specification V5 — the original owner optioned her in full:

• MAN V12-2000 engines with a third wing station on the flybridge
• Sleipner Vector Fin stabilisation, working at anchor and underway
• Gulf-specification air conditioning (312,000 BTU, rated to 50°C) and twin Kohler generators
• Walnut satin interior; Naim and Focal audio in seven zones; Vi Spring mattresses in all four cabins
• Crew mess with its own kitchenette; 1,400-litre grey water tank for long stays on the hook
• FLIR thermal camera, Raymarine Axiom 2 XL navigation, underwater lighting

Everything above is fitted and paid for — it is a description, not an options list. The retail figure for the specification is £6,747,825; she is offered below it, price on enquiry at anewyacht.com.
