Princess Yachts has always been at the forefront of innovation and distributor Princess Yachts America has consistently taken care of U.S. based Princess owners at the highest level of customer service. Combine that experience with the expertise, service facilities, and industry-leading staff at SI Yachts and you have a world-class team at your disposal.
In this unprecedented time that we currently live in, it's never been more important to ensure the safety and comfort of your family and guests onboard your Princess Yacht. That's why Princess will offer the Yacht Safe Marine Air Purification System on every new delivery after September 1st. Princess Yachts America is also looking to allow existing Princess owners the ability to retrofit their yacht with the system in the near future.
“All of us at Princess Yachts America are extremely pleased to introduce this groundbreaking technology within our industry," said Tom Carroll, President of PYA. "The safety and wellbeing of our yacht owners is at the forefront of all we do, and we know just how important it is to address this concern to ensure that the interiors of our yachts offer a safe and clean environment. While it is of course recommended that owners always follow antimicrobial protocols and procedures established by the CDC such as frequent hand washing, social distancing, etc., we feel that Yacht Safe® offers a layer of added protection to the yacht’s interior for all those aboard.”
Yacht Safe is a collaboration between Princess Yachts America and Air Oasis, a leading air purification supplier that utilizes cutting-edge technology to provide clean air in homes, and now yachts.
The Princess Yacht Safe air purification system will utilize bi-polar ionizing equipment manufactured in America and is designed to continually purify the air inside your boat. Lab testing has shown that this purification process will remove 99% of various viruses in the air, including strains of Coronavirus.
The ground-breaking technology used in Yacht Safe was originally developed by NASA for space flight applications and is based on cold plasma, non-catalytic ionization. The ionizer converts water vapor, already present in the air, into positive hydrogen and negative oxygen ions that quickly reduce airborne contaminants, as well as those found on interior surfaces such as countertops. These contaminants include organic compounds (VOC’S), particulates, bacteria, viruses, mold, and pollen. Unlike some air purification systems, Yacht Safe® does not produce any ozone byproducts or rely on UV light, both of which can present health concerns within the confined spaces of today's cruising or luxury yacht.
The Yacht Safe air purification system works in conjunction with your air conditioning to safely sanitize the air in your yacht. Even various components of your air conditioning system like the air handlers and condensation pans are sanitized.
It's important to note that the Yacht Safe purification system has not been tested specifically on COVID-19 and so Yacht Safe cannot specifically say that the virus would be completely eliminated.
