1996 Princess 420

Description
The Princess 420 is regarded as a comfortable and spacious flybridge cruiser, suitable for family use and offshore trips, known for its handling, visibility, and the quietness of the engines. The accommodation offers a well-appointed interior with a bright, airy saloon and large forward owner's cabin with en-suite heads. Pangea has been in her current ownership since 2020 and while having a major engine service at that time, she has had very little use since, hence the reason for sale. The asking price reflects the need for another engine service & other mostly cosmetic works required to bring her back up to scratch.
