2008 – Princess 42 with Twin Volvo Penta D6-435 engines

This is a stunning example of one of the most sought after flybridge cruisers in the Solent.

We are delighted to bring to market an exceptional example of the very popular Princess 42. This is a 2008 boat has been maintained to the highest standard and is presented in a simply breathtaking way.

She is powered with the stunning Volvo Penta D6-435 Engines which have covered under 650 hours since new.

Stepping on board this boat it is clear to see she is totally loved and presents as close to a new boat as you will ever find another 2008 boat! The spacious flybridge features ample seating and a sunbathing area, while the cockpit and saloon provide multiple zones for entertaining and relaxing.

Below deck, the layout includes two comfortable cabins – a master forward with en-suite, and a twin guest cabin with separate day head. A fully equipped galley and quality interior finishes make this boat equally suited for extended cruising.

The boat has a thorough maintenance schedule both mechanically and cosmetically with a local detailing company regularly washing and polishing the boat to maintain her condition.
