Brokers Comments

This incredible boat has everything you could possibly want in a large, very stylish sports cruiser. Due to her extensive refurbishment & renewal programme she is in immaculate condition and certainly belies her age. She has the biggest engine option and a full Mediterranean Specification, so whether you are planning on cruising around the UK & across the Channel, or moving her to the med, she is fully equipped and ready to go. She is the perfect boat for entertaining friends in the spacious cockpit, using the wet bar & griddle, but with her 3 cabins and very comfortable sleeping for 6 she is equally the perfect family cruiser. The big advantage of this family cruiser is that you can open her up and achieve an exhilarating 39 knts, which for a boat of this size, will certainly bring a smile to your face. Everything about this boat exudes class & style and everything is in incredible condition. From her bright teak decks & gleaming hull to the polished cherry woodwork and spotless Berber carpets, this boat has to be the best V55 you will find. She will certainly not disappoint her new owners.

Princess are one of the great boat builders insisting on using quality materials & craftsmanship. This V55 shows that they build boats to last. Although a late 2001 boat, she will be mistaken for one much newer and with her high specification she really offers fantastic value.  Inspection of this boat is very highly recommended. She is currently lying in Chichester and is available for viewings at any time..
