Description
This is a fabulous example of a Princess 388, which is a popular large family flybridge cruiser powered by a pair of classic Volvo Penta 61s - 305hp diesel engines on shaft drives with a recent bow thruster and all the extras required to make her the perfect boat for cruising the south coast in style and comfort. Under her current ownership since 2019 and they have much loved and upgraded her over their ownership and she has been a truly remarkable family cruiser that even has a washing machine for all those long days away…Contact Derek or Richard today to arrange a viewing as you will not find another quite like this…
