The marque

Princess was founded in 1965 in Plymouth as Marine Projects (Plymouth) Ltd — its first boat, the Project 31, was fitted out in a rented shed across the water from the shipyard it still occupies today.

01 — Fitment notes

The Princess F65 sits in the sweet spot for yacht tenders: big enough to carry a proper jet boat, small enough that weight still matters. We usually start owners here in the three-to-four-metre class and work from how the boat will actually be used.

Here is that shortlist, ranked for 20.3 metres.

02 — The Surmarine Selection

Hand-built in Turin.

The full Surmarine line — Super Tenders, the Easy open tenders and the featherweight Light Tenders — from the atelier that has built them by hand since 1999.

Fitment is guidance, not gospel — garage dimensions, davit capacity and swim-platform geometry decide the final answer.
