Broker's Comments

Princess boats, built by Marine Projects in Plymouth, have a good reputation for being, solid, stylish and well performing vessels. This Princess 38 appears to have been well maintained over the years and is a great opportunity for a variety of potential uses.

On visiting this boat, I found it to have a light and spacious feel, with walk-through headroom throughout, plenty of windows, a large and open saloon area, along with a separate well equipped galley, perfect for life aboard in comfort and entertaining guests. The space and comfort extends to all areas of the accommodation, with four berths in two separate cabins, including a large double master suite with ensuite shower room and two, large, single bunks in the second, cabin.

This boat is neatly presented, with a recent, extensive programme of recent refurbishments and upgrades, noted throughout this listing, including bow and stern thrusters. This boat is an ideal opportunity for a liveaboard lifestyle, extensive cruisng and a holiday getaway afloat. If you would like any further information or to arrange a personal viewing, then please contact our office and we would be pleased to help.
