1996 Princess Yachts Uk 500 for sale

The high build quality of Princess Yachts, proven over decades, remains unmatched to this day. The timeless design, high level of finish, remarkable performance, and ultimate sailing and living comfort make the Princess 500 a distinctive icon of the British yacht builder.

Not only is it a unique sight on the water because it has been kept in excellent condition since its construction, but above all because it has always been punctually maintained and updated. At just under 17 meters, this ‘extended’ 500 version is almost 2 meters longer than the standard version and offers plenty of space for six overnight guests.

The Volvo Penta TAMD122D engines have always been serviced by authorized Volvo Penta Service Centers using only original Volvo Penta parts. This specific engine series is still recognized by them as the most reliable and maintenance-friendly power source ever built. In addition, fuel consumption is very low, even at higher speeds.

The meticulously maintained maintenance history by the private owners clearly demonstrates the care with which the vessel has been maintained, and the numerous updates and renovations reflect an investment in its future and preservation.

This is most likely the only P500 equipped not only with a completely new navigation system, but also with autopilot, electronic steering with remote control, and joystick controllers on both the main helm and the flybridge. Of course, radar, AIS transceiver, and recent VHF radios are also included.

The 1.5-meter-long swimming platform, the air conditioning/heat pump with three separate zones, separate hot air heating throughout the ship in three zones, the new sun blinds, cockpit covers, protective covers, and bimini that can be set up in many configurations, the extra-large fresh water capacity of 1,100 liters (standard 660 l), the 300-liter waste water tank, and the hydraulic gangway/dinghy crane are just a few of the details that raise the level of comfort on board to a high standard.

Exempt from CE and CVO, the yacht also offers a simple registration procedure anywhere in the world. Proof of paid EU VAT is also on board, along with the maintenance history, original manuals, construction and electrical diagrams, a complete (photo) archive of repairs with invoices, and even logbooks from over the years.

The asking price was professionally determined based on the current effective market value according to equipment and structural/technical/cosmetic condition. An extensive visit on board is possible by simple appointment via Nauticus Yachting.
