DescriptionMarketing Description
The Princess 414 was a natural progession from her predecessor the Princess 41. Designed by Bernard Olesinski, who had been designing craft for then competitor Fairline Boats. His clever designs maximised onboard comfort whilst providing a safe and stable platform from which to enjoy our wonderful UK coastine and beyond. The versatility of this boat suited both the family boater or cruising couple, and the appeal is still there today.
'Cassiopeia' is well equipped and maintained. Her engines are Volvo Penta TAMD60B offering 225hp each side. Comprehensive electronic navigation package including autopilot and radar. Spacious accommodation with owners, ensuite cabin aft, deck saloon, galley, dining area and enormous fore cabin. Diesel generator allows more remote areas to be explored.
As well as being a premium coastal cruiser she would be ideal as a liveaboard.
