Spirit Yachts has unveiled its latest design, the P50 motor yacht.
The yacht has been designed by Spirit Yachts’ in-house design team led by Tom Smith, and has design has two iterations, the P50 Coupé and the P50 Sport, to offer options for warmer and cooler climates, or day trips to adventures further afield.
Spirit Yachts already has one of each design sold and in build, with the first yacht due to launch spring 2026.
“The designs were created in response to the growing power boat market and the desire to offer a sophisticated, yet modern motor yacht built in responsibly sourced timber,” said Spirit Yachts sales director, Julian Weatherill.
“Increasingly, we are being approached by sailing clients looking for an elegant motor yacht to have alongside their current yacht.
“The P50 delivers as a beautiful standalone boat or as a complement to a sailing lifestyle.”
The P50 Sport is designed for warmer climates and a swim-up lifestyle, with a swim platform, a cockpit with U-shaped seating, and reclining sunbeds on the bow.

Forward of the aft seating area is an open galley and cocktail bar.
The P50 Coupé was created for northern Europe and cooler locations requiring protection from the elements.
The yacht’s design incorporates an enclosed saloon, and a fully equipped interior with two double cabins.
“The P50 design began with why?” explained Tom.
“We focused on the end user and the purpose of the yacht, which we defined as escapism and uncompromised joy. The entire layout of the P50 is focused on the guest experience.”
He continued: “The design DNA of the Spirit P50 Sport and her sistership, the P50 Coupé, is a striking blend of elegant, traditional lines and bold, sophisticated graphics.
Heritage and values
“We have stayed true to Spirit’s heritage and values, whilst delivering a modern, experience-led yacht created to escape daily stresses and enjoy everything that comes with being out on the water.”
Both the P50 Coupé and the Sport are built using Spirit Yachts’ wood-construction method to RCD Category B certification, married with the latest technology.
The yachts both have twin Volvo Penta D6 440hp engines with IPS drives with joystick control.
Julian added: “Whilst the P50s are at the very top end of design and build quality and sophistication, they will be simple to operate so the focus remains on relaxation and planning where to explore next.”
