VISTA is a Princess Y85 motor yacht that rewards guests with a rare blend of athletic performance and refined comfort across 26 metres of thoughtfully designed living space. Launched in 2020, she represents the latest generation of Princess flybridge yachts, a builder known for pushing engineering boundaries while keeping interiors warm and liveable rather than merely photogenic.
Her exterior profile is immediately distinctive. The Y85’s deep-V hull and sharp bow lines hint at the serious performance underneath, while the generous flybridge and wide aft cockpit signal a yacht built for long, relaxed days at anchor. A large hydraulic swim platform folds down at the stern, creating a beach club that sits just above the waterline. From here, guests step directly into the sea or board the tender, making water-sports transitions effortless. Kayaks, paddleboards, and inflatables are all stowed within reach, ensuring the morning’s first swim is never more than a minute away.
Moving forward along the main deck, the aft cockpit offers a shaded alfresco dining area that comfortably seats eight. The table is sheltered by the flybridge overhang, so even on the hottest Mediterranean afternoons the space remains cool and inviting. Twin sunpads just behind the transom catch the late-afternoon light and provide a quieter alternative to the flybridge lounging area above.
The flybridge itself is VISTA’s social heart. A wet bar, generous L-shaped settee, and a second helm station allow the captain to keep guests company while underway. As the sun drops, this upper deck becomes the natural gathering point, wide enough for everyone to spread out, intimate enough that conversation flows without raising voices.
Step inside the main salon and the Princess design philosophy becomes clear. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light, while honey-toned woodwork and neutral soft furnishings create an atmosphere that feels residential rather than nautical. The salon’s forward section transitions seamlessly into a formal dining area with seating for eight, flanked by a bookshelf wall that gives the room a sense of permanence. A large flatscreen television is concealed within the joinery, disappearing completely when not in use.
Below deck, VISTA accommodates eight guests across four well-proportioned cabins. The full-beam master stateroom is positioned amidships for maximum comfort at sea, with a king-size bed, vanity, and an en-suite bathroom finished in marble with a separate shower stall. Forward, the VIP cabin offers another king-size bed with its own en-suite and generous hanging storage. Two further guest cabins, one twin and one double, each have private bathrooms, ensuring every guest aboard has their own space.
A crew of four operates from a separate quarter accessed via the aft deck, maintaining a clear division between guest and service areas. The crew’s galley and mess are self-contained, so provisioning and meal preparation happen out of sight.
Under power, VISTA delivers a confident 33 knots at full throttle and cruises comfortably at 21 knots, covering ground quickly between Greek island anchorages without burning through the day. Her deep-V hull handles open-water crossings with composure, keeping motion smooth when conditions build.
Based in Greece, VISTA is ideally positioned for island-hopping itineraries through the Cyclades, Dodecanese, or Saronic Gulf. She combines the range and speed to reach quieter anchorages that larger yachts cannot access, with enough space and amenities that guests never feel they have compromised on comfort to do so.
