PRINCESS 42

Years of design evolution have contributed to making the Princess 42 the definitive choice for short distance or genuine long range cruising at this size.

Space is the keynote throughout the 42, from the two comfortable cabins with their own bathrooms to the elegant saloon and practical galley. The convertible settee in the saloon provides occasional berths and triple glass sliding doors open to the large teak-laid cockpit allowing plenty of room for alfresco dining. The spacious flybridge includes a generous entertaining area with refrigerated coolbox and electric grill and separate aft sunbed.

The Princess 42 combines speed and superior sea keeping with luxury, comfort and style the very essence of a fast motor yacht.

This Princess 42 Flybridge benefits from Twin 435hp Volvo D6-435 diesel engines with dual station bow and stern thrusters and 9.5kW Onan generator

Interior is in stylish Serotina Cherry gloss interior wood, with cream upholstery she also has Eberspacher D5 heating and drinking water filter system  Instrumentation with Raymarine e125 Hybrid Touch with open array Radar.

Brokers Comments

Beautifully constructed and immaculately finished, the 42 is the very essence of a modern Princess Sports Cruiser. The 42 is the smallest of the Princess flybridge range but packs the big boat feel and refinements from its larger cousins with easy, making the 42 a fantastic entry level sports cruiser flybridge.
