£320,000 Yacht Tour : SETAG 2008 Princess 42

Why It Matters

For buyers seeking a manageable mid-size flybridge with higher-end construction and recent upgrades, this Princess 42 offers near-big-boat quality and improved systems reliability without a full refit, supporting its £320,000 asking price. It demonstrates how targeted updates can preserve classic build value while modernizing functionality.

Summary

The video tours a 2008 Princess 42 flybridge yacht listed at £320,000, highlighting its compact yet well-proportioned layout and build quality consistent with larger Princess models. The boat has undergone a tasteful light refit — new upholstery, carpets, headlining, refreshed woodwork and updated electronics — while retaining original cherry joinery. Mechanical and systems upgrades include refitted windows, a generator, larger fridge, new Raymarine instruments, and digitally proportional bow/stern thrusters for improved handling. The layout is practical with two cabins and two heads, a raised saloon/galley arrangement, and thoughtful storage and entertainment upgrades.
