2016 Princess 52

The 2016 Princess 52 has been kept in Hamble as a private Solent boat, not a charter hull. She is a three-cabin flybridge used as a weekender, and the brokerage file still reads like an owner's boat: winter cover, engine service notes, and the original build sheets.

Stabilisers went on in 2023. The tender garage takes a 3.1 m dinghy, and the hydraulic platform is the usual way on and off when she is on the river. Most of her seasons have been English rather than Mediterranean, so the exterior is the later grey scheme rather than a sun-bleached charter finish.

Below, the galley was left as Princess delivered it, with the saloon opening onto the aft deck. Air conditioning is fitted. There are three cabins, six berths, and two heads. The Volvo Penta D11 670s show 640 hours, and the service file is recent enough that a surveyor can start from it rather than from a blank notebook.

She is VAT paid and lying afloat at Hamble. Solent & Spithead Yachts will arrange a viewing on the pontoon, and a haul-out in the river if you want the hull out of the water. The photographs run from the profile through the decks so you can see how she sits before you travel, and the video is an evening pass of a boat of this kind alongside.
