THE wealthy and well-heeled have been travelling to Plymouth from around the world to view Princess Yachts' newest and largest boat - the £12m Y95. Haves and have yachts flew in from the USA, Middle East, Asia and across Europe to tour the vessel, which at 95 feet in length is just short of superyacht status.
The first Y95, known in the industry as "slot 1", was moored at the Royal William Yard marina prior to being collected by its new owner, who will transport it to its new home in Asia on a cargo ship. Princess Yachts took the opportunity to show it off to invited guests and has already received orders for more Y95s.
Simon Clare, Princess Yachts' marketing director, said the company hopes to make about nine 95s a year.
He said: "The owner is taking this yacht to Asia but allowed us to show key customers before it went. We have had people come from Asia, the USA, the Middle East and Europe. There have been private and exclusive invitations to people looking to buy yachts of this size. We have had orders already.
