Princess X80 "KORA"

KORA: five-cabin Super Flybridge charter from Antibes

KORA is a 2023 Princess X80 offered for charter from Antibes, France. Measuring 25.2 metres, she combines accommodation for 10 overnight guests with a Super Flybridge arrangement that creates a second enclosed living area above the main saloon. Five en-suite cabins, four crew and several outdoor relaxation areas make her particularly appealing to families or groups of friends who want both shared space and opportunities to retreat.

Her strongest asset is the balance between accommodation and living space. The X80 concept provides approximately 30% more usable interior space than a traditional flybridge yacht of comparable length. On KORA, extensive glazing and a private secondary lounge complement fore and aft decks arranged for sunbathing, shaded dining and conversation. She suits a charter centred as much on enjoying time aboard as travelling between anchorages.

Design and exterior of the Princess X80

The X80 design brings together Princess, the Olesinski design studio and Pininfarina. Long, sculpted surfaces and an enclosed upper level give the model its distinctive profile. Rather than relying on a conventional open flybridge, the design places an enclosed wheelhouse and sky lounge upstairs, connected to the main deck by an internal staircase.

KORA’s outdoor areas provide alternatives throughout the day: space forward and aft for relaxing, sunbathing or gathering over a meal, with panoramic views from the upper level. Her separate flybridge lounge is especially useful when part of the group wants a quieter setting without returning to a cabin.

At model level, the X80 has a hydraulically lowering bathing platform. KORA also carries an inflatable platform, adding another option for time beside the water. These are distinct features: the inflatable platform belongs to her watersports inventory rather than being a separate enclosed beach club.

Accommodation and interior aboard KORA

KORA sleeps 10 guests across five cabins, each with an en-suite bathroom. Her configuration comprises one master, two VIP cabins, one double and one convertible twin. The convertible cabin gives the accommodation useful flexibility when arranging a charter for different combinations of couples, friends and children.

The distinction between this yacht and a standard four-cabin X80 matters when comparing charter options. KORA offers five separate guest cabins rather than relying on extra sleeping places in communal areas. Exact bed dimensions and the preferred twin-cabin arrangement should be confirmed before booking, particularly when allocating rooms among adults.

Large windows illuminate the main-deck saloon, galley and dining spaces, keeping the sea in view while guests are indoors. The secondary upper lounge provides another social setting, allowing the group to spread out rather than sharing a single saloon throughout the day. Her interior appeal rests on light, outlook and separate living zones; no refit date or detailed decorative specification is stated.

KORA operates with four crew. The X80 model places crew accommodation aft, separate from the principal guest accommodation, although KORA’s precise crew-berth arrangement is not detailed.

Performance and engineering of KORA

Twin MAN V12 engines, each rated at 1,900 hp, power KORA. Her cruising speed is 24 knots, giving her the pace for transfers between coastal stops while retaining substantial accommodation within a 25.2-metre hull. She has a GRP planing hull, a beam of 6.1 metres and a draft of 1.8 metres.

The X80 model has a published maximum speed of approximately 30 knots, depending on specification, loading and conditions; this is a model-level figure rather than a verified trial result for KORA. Standard model capacities are 7,000 litres of fuel and 1,480 litres of fresh water. Her fitted tank configuration and usable charter range should be confirmed for the proposed itinerary.

A reliable speed-linked fuel budget is not established by the available details. For charter planning, request an estimate based on actual passage distances and intended running speeds rather than treating a single consumption figure as applicable throughout the trip. KORA’s stabiliser and generator specifications are also not detailed and should be checked if they are important to the booking.

Equipment, tender and toys aboard KORA

KORA’s watersports inventory includes:

• One Williams SportJet 380 tender.
• An inflatable platform.
• One Lift E-Foil.
• Two Seabob F5S underwater scooters.
• Snorkelling equipment.

This selection supports a mixture of tender outings, swimming, snorkelling and more active sessions at anchor. Guests interested in the E-Foil or Seabobs should discuss experience levels and supervision before the charter. Daily use remains subject to suitable conditions and the captain’s assessment.

Charter experience aboard KORA

Antibes is KORA’s base port. Her combination of five cabins, several deck areas and a second enclosed lounge lends itself to a French Riviera charter with time divided between coastal passages and relaxed afternoons aboard. The precise cruising area, embarkation arrangements and any alternative ports should be agreed for the requested dates.

Her four-person team covers captain, chef, mate and chief-stewardess roles. The chef’s background includes Michelin-starred kitchens and international culinary experience, supporting a dining programme shaped around guest preferences. Dietary requirements and the desired balance of meals aboard and ashore are useful subjects for the pre-charter discussion.

A week could combine breakfast outside, a passage to the next anchorage, afternoon watersports and dinner aboard, with the route adjusted for weather and guest priorities. This is an itinerary approach rather than a fixed programme. Charter pricing is available on request; the quotation should clarify taxes, operating expenses, itinerary costs and what is included.
