Princess Yachts, the UK’s leading luxury yacht manufacturer, is proud to mark 10 years of collaboration with the Marine Conservation Society (MCS) – a decade dedicated to protecting and regenerating vital marine habitats. This milestone also sees the natural conclusion of Princess Yachts’ renewed three-year sponsorship of the PLYMFISH project, the latest in a legacy of impactful joint initiatives since the partnership began in 2015.
Rightboat.com, one of the fastest-growing marine marketplaces in the US and UK, has announced the launch of Propel, a new OEM-focused marketing program purpose-built to deliver targeted exposure, lead generation, and brand control for manufacturers of new boats.
Developed in response to evolving digital demands from OEMs and dealers, Propel enables brands to connect with serious, high-intent buyers across the Rightboat network, now used over 7 million times annually by boat shoppers.
“Propel is about putting manufacturers in control of their digital destiny. We’ve created a fair-priced, high-performance alternative that uses live audience data to reach serious buyers with precision, not guesswork. The result is an effective marketing channel which provides a measurable, commercial impact for OEMs and their dealers.”

Key Features of Propel:

“Propel gives us a fresh, elevated way to connect with serious buyers who are looking for yachts like ours.
