About
Widely regarded as one of Princess's finest sports cruisers, the V42 combines timeless styling, exceptional build quality and outstanding sea-keeping. This superb example benefits from low-hour Volvo Penta D6-310 engines and has been meticulously maintained throughout. Her expansive cockpit is ideal for entertaining, while the beautifully crafted American Cherry interior offers luxurious accommodation for four. A true modern classic, presented in outstanding condition and ready for immediate enjoyment. DESCRIPTION The Princess V42 is widely regarded as one of the marque's finest sports cruisers, built during a period when Princess were at the very top of their game. Beautifully proportioned, exceptionally well built and equally capable as a weekend cruiser or extended touring yacht, the V42 remains one of the most sought-after sports cruisers of her generation.
This particular example is presented in superb condition throughout and has clearly been meticulously cared for. With low engine hours for her age, she represents an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a lightly used example of this timeless design.
The cockpit is a real highlight and one of the largest in her class. Designed for entertaining, it offers generous wraparound seating around a substantial table, a well-equipped wet bar, creating the perfect space for relaxing with family and friends. Wide side decks and an easy-access bathing platform make moving around the boat effortless whether underway or at anchor.
Stepping below, the beautifully crafted American Cherry interior immediately demonstrates the quality for which Princess is renowned. Rich high-gloss joinery, cream leather upholstery and elegant styling combine to create a luxurious yet welcoming atmosphere. The spacious saloon is ideal for dining or unwinding, while the well-appointed galley is perfectly equipped for extended cruising. Two comfortable cabins and a generous heads compartment provide excellent accommodation for family and guests.
Powered by Volvo Penta D6-310 diesel engines with just 720 hours, this V42 delivers the impressive performance, effortless cruising and reassuring seakeeping that have made the model such an enduring favourite.
Combining timeless styling, exceptional craftsmanship, one of the best cockpit layouts in her class and superb overall condition, this Princess V42 is a wonderful example of a true modern classic and is ready to be enjoyed by her next owner. BUILD
