Princess 30 DS (Non Fly) — Classic "Deck Saloon" from Princess Yachts
The Princess 30 DS is a classic sports cruiser from the legendary British company Princess Yachts, designed by the renowned naval architect Bernard Olesinski. It was the first model that Olesinski designed for Princess in 1980, marking the beginning of a collaboration that continues to this day, with over 500 units sold between 1981 and 1989, making it a key piece in the history of the shipyard. The DS ("Deck Saloon") version is characterized by offering additional berths integrated into the helm itself, and its deep V hull gives it a very solid reputation in terms of seakeeping. With a length of 9.59 m and a beam of 3.35 m, it is an ideal vessel for day outings, anchoring, and weekends on board, with the timeless character of British classics.
