Defined by its reputation as one of the British shipyard's most successful flybridge designs, this 1998 Princess 56 balances robust fiberglass construction with refined comfort. This specific vessel is a rare single-owner find, having been maintained with consistent care throughout its life. With an overall length of 17 meters and a beam of 4.56 meters, it provides a stable and spacious platform for extended time on the water.
The mechanical heart of this boat consists of twin Volvo Penta TAMD 122P-B engines with only 1,370 hours of use. Reliability is bolstered by major maintenance milestones, including the renewal of heat exchangers and sea cocks in 2022, as well as a safety certificate renewed in July 2025. Navigation is supported by a comprehensive technical suite, featuring a Kohler 11kW generator, bow thruster, Furuno radar, dual GPS plotters, AIS, and engine room monitoring via integrated cameras.
Accommodation includes three cabins and two baths, plus an independent crew cabin with a dedicated head, making this layout highly versatile for families or those requiring support staff. The interior is designed for functionality, featuring a separated galley with a four-burner ceramic cooktop, oven, three refrigerators, and a washer-dryer. Comfort is managed through an independent reverse-cycle air conditioning system and full onboard multimedia connectivity.
Outdoor living is a highlight of this model, with a teak-finished cockpit and a well-equipped flybridge complete with a barbecue and sink. Access is exceptionally convenient, with stairs leading to the flybridge from both the cockpit and the interior saloon. A hydraulic gangway and integrated swimming platform further enhance ease of access for swimming or docking. This vessel is offered with VAT paid, and the price has recently been reduced, representing an excellent opportunity to acquire a well-documented used boat in Italy.
