Princess is to motor yachts what the great sports car makers are to cars. Since 1965 the yard in Plymouth, England, has hand-built motor yachts for owners who demand a lot from design, performance and finish. You recognise a Princess in the harbour by its sharp lines, and on board you feel the quality in every detail, from the stitching in the cushions to the walnut in the saloon.

This V40 is from 2019 and is a 2020 model. It was ordered with a long list of factory options. Two Volvo Penta D6 engines of 330 hp each give it the power, and with joystick and hold function on the bow and stern thrusters you can berth calmly, even in a tight harbour.

The boat has always been kept in a heated hall from September or October until May and has had a full service every year, covering engines, drives and generator, antifouling, polishing and teak treatment.

At the helm there is a Garmin Glass Cockpit with 16" and 7" displays, radar and autopilot. Aft there is a wet bar with grill and ice maker, a sun lounger and a hydraulic bathing platform for a tender. The inflatable tender in the photos is not included. The whole deck is teak. On board there are two cabins, a generator, a diesel heater, underfloor heating in the bathroom and Fusion audio in every room.

The full standing-height canopy is in dark grey Sunbrella, and Princess crockery, glasses and cutlery for six are included. The boat is indoors in our showroom hall in Aabenraa, where you can see it.
