Princess 82

Princess 82 for sale 2004

For the ones looking to step into a capable 24-metre yacht without facing the long lead-times of a new build, this Princess 82  2004 offers a practical solution. Launched by Princess Yachts in 2004 and treated to a stem-to-stern refit in 2022, she presents in good condition and is ready for immediate cruising. The recent works were not cosmetic alone; technical systems, machinery and soft furnishings all received attention, so the next owner can concentrate on travel plans rather than yard periods.

The yacht carries the traditional Princess profile, with wide side-decks, generous glazing and a flybridge that has been extended by way of a larger bimini and an upgraded crane. Total teak replacement across the entire vessel gives the decks a fresh uniform finish, while new Alcantara headliners and re-trimmed leather panels have lifted the interior. Carpets, wall coverings and soft goods were also renewed in 2022, so the guest areas feel current without losing the warmth of the original Princess joinery.

Two MAN D2842 LE404 diesels remain the heart of the yacht. They show 3,580 running hours and have been kept on schedule, supported by two generators – a 22.5 kW ONAN and a 15 kW Sole unit installed in 2022. The machinery package delivers a cruising speed around 29 knots and a top end close to 33 knots, respectable numbers for a yacht displacing 78 tons. A new SeaMar water-maker (400 l/h) and recent replacement of all service and engine batteries reinforce her autonomy.

On board, the equipment list is wide-ranging: two tenders, two jet-skis, paddle boards, scuba gear, kayaks, towables and a professional sound system ensure that guests of all ages have options at anchor. Starlink satellite internet, five routers and multiple new inverters keep the digital side of life running smoothly. Safety and mechanical systems have not been overlooked either; the engine-room fire system has been renewed, the gangway rebuilt and the anchor windlass overhauled with a new motor and 160 m of chain.

Accommodation is arranged as the yard intended, with a full-beam master, a forward VIP and two guest twins that slide together to form doubles when required. Each cabin has its own safe, new LED lighting and fresh mattresses from the 2022 programme. Crew quarters aft are fitted out to a comparable standard and benefit from a convertible mess table that doubles as an extra berth.

If you are searching the brokerage market for a Princess 82 for sale 2004, this yacht combines recent investment with the proven layout of a popular model, making her suitable for private family use or charter work.
