*** SEE VESSEL AT 2024 FLIBS SPECIAL $789,000 ***

Owner operator dream… the best example brought to market in years, now at show special price.  1000 hour service completed less than 100 hours ago.  New electronics (Garmin)/stereo (Fusion)/Starlink High Performance.  Full wax/polish/detail and teak refinishing (10/2024).  This is the current owner’s third similar vessel and all systems must function flawlessly for trips to Exumas.  All mechanical service provided by Caterpillar specialists Southshore Marine Diesel and maintenance program by Neptune Marine Detailing.  Everything has received attention, including recent full service to engines and generator, full hull wax, full interior detail, carpet deep clean, new aft cockpit upholstery, new bimini top and teak refinishing.

She features the more powerful upgraded Caterpillar C-15 engines (25+ knot/30mph cruise) with STRAIGHT SHAFTS (no pod drives or v-drives) that still keep the efficiency and maintenance accessibility of an inline-6 engine.  The engine room looks like it just left the factory.  Vessel boasts a huge lazarrete that many 80’ boats cannot match.  Tunnel form hull provides shallow 4’2” draft that is rare for a vessel this size with a full-beam master included in total of 3 staterooms and 2 dry heads (no wet heads).  The main salon has a living room and full bar area with storage, ice machine and refrigerator.  The vessel also sports a hydraulic crane (770-lb capacity) stowed in the transom with a large tender platform and custom chocks for the tender.  The crane provides ease of maintenance, reliability and peace of mind you can always easily retrieve your tender without the added maintenance and reliability issues that plague swim platforms lifts. 

With a custom mounted high performance Starlink satellite, huge flybridge, multiple salon couches, large U-shaped dinette, cocktail bar, spacious kitchen, washing machine/dryer and tons of storage, she is the ideal shallow water cruiser for the Bahamas and Florida Keys.  For comfortable high performance long range cruising combined true customer and parts support of Princess Yachts of America, Princess is still the standard.  “Best Day Ever” has been a loved boat with a long list of resent and past upgrades along with all service being current, she is turn-key and ready for the next Exumas adventure.  See maintenance below in date order.
