Princess 42 | 2006
Summary
Overview
Rendezvous is an exceptional example of the ever-popular Princess 42, combining Princess' renowned sea-keeping qualities with elegant accommodation and a specification tailored for comfortable cruising. Presented in outstanding condition throughout, she benefits from careful ownership and a programme of continual maintenance and upgrading.
A particularly well-equipped example, Rendezvous features bow and stern thrusters with remote control, Eberspacher heating, an Onan generator and a comprehensive Raymarine navigation suite upgraded in 2020. Her contemporary interior is bright and inviting, while the spacious flybridge, generous cockpit and comfortable two-cabin layout make her equally suited to extended cruising and entertaining family and friends.
With low ownership wear evident throughout and a presentation that stands out from many boats of her age, Rendezvous represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of Princess Yachts' most successful flybridge models in truly turnkey condition.
Early viewing is strongly recommended.
