The British shipyard Princess Yachts stands out from the oth- ers. Since the 1970s, the great naval architect of our time Ber- nard Olesinski, a renowned de- signer of elegant profi les and a true magician with space on board, has being working on the design of the Princess. The ship- yard also collaborated with the Italian styling house Pininfari- na, and the result is a wonderful blend of elegance and comfort, style and speed.
