Superbly presented and well equipped: a classic Princess 40 with twin Volvo Penta TAMD63P power!
The Princess 40 has long been regarded as a well-built, comfortable and capable motor yacht, combining the quality finish and sea-keeping the Princess name is known for with accommodation that suits both weekends away and longer cruises.
This 1998 example is powered by twin Volvo Penta TAMD63P turbocharged diesel engines producing a combined 740hp, with approximately 1,250 hours recorded. With that power on tap, she has the pace to cover distance comfortably and the manners to do it in style. Fitted with both a bow and stern thruster, she is exceptionally easy to handle in tight marina berths, which is a real asset when cruising short-handed.
Practical extras include a Garmin chartplotter and radar, an autopilot, Eberspächer diesel heating, a teak cockpit and a hydraulic tender crane with chocks, making her as well suited to cruising with a tender as she is to weekends away.
For buyers seeking a traditionally built, well-mannered motor yacht from a respected name, with room for family and friends, this Princess represents a superb opportunity. Lying at Port Solent, she is easily accessible for viewing.

Lifestyle & Design
The Princess 40 offers generous space and a quality finish for her size. Sleeping up to six, with two heads and hot water on board, she offers real convenience for family and friends on longer stays aboard.
Eberspächer diesel heating keeps the accommodation warm and comfortable, extending the cruising season well beyond the summer months. Outside, the teak cockpit gives a classic, traditional finish and a fine place to relax at anchor or in the marina, and a cockpit cover provides protection when she is not in use. A hydraulic tender crane and chocks make carrying and launching a tender straightforward.
Performance
The twin Volvo Penta TAMD63P diesels are turbocharged and aftercooled, delivering a combined 740hp with smooth, strong power and a comfortable cruising manner. At approximately 1,250 hours, they have plenty of life ahead of them.
The combination of bow and stern thrusters gives excellent control at low speed, making berthing, turning in confined spaces and holding position in a crosswind far less stressful.
Navigation & Electronics
A Garmin chartplotter and radar, together with the autopilot, take the strain on longer passages and give confidence in poor visibility.
Features & Highlights
Finding a Princess 40 is relatively straightforward; finding one presented to this standard is considerably more difficult.
Summary
This 1998 Princess 40 presents an opportunity to acquire a capable, comfortable and beautifully built six-berth motor yacht with twin Volvo Penta diesel power, bow and stern thrusters, Garmin electronics and a hydraulic tender crane, lying at Port Solent.
Early viewing is strongly recommended.
