Urteil
The Princess 45 is a well-proportioned flybridge cruiser that still looks practical and capable for its age. It offers solid offshore performance and a useful cabin layout, but as a 1994 example, comfort and finish depend heavily on refit quality and maintenance history.
Vorteile
- +Classic Princess flybridge layout with good deck use
- +Twin-diesel setup suits coastal cruising and charter use
- +Moderate draft is helpful in shallow anchorages
- +3-cabin versions offer decent sleeping capacity for the size
Nachteile
- −1994 build means condition varies widely by refit
- −Interior volume is modest compared with newer yachts
- −Older systems may increase maintenance and running costs
- −Charter-focused layouts can feel less private than owner versions
The Princess 45 is a mid-1990s British flybridge yacht with the brand’s familiar emphasis on sensible proportions, a practical deck plan, and GRP construction. Public listings for 1994 boats show a beam around 13'5" to 13'6", shallow-to-moderate draft, and twin diesel inboards, which points to a design aimed at reliable coastal cruising rather than cutting-edge styling or maximum volume.
On the water, the model is generally associated with steady planing performance and easy handling for its class. Contemporary and later Princess 45 references place similar boats in the high-20-knot to low-30-knot range depending on engine fit, so a 1994 example should be expected to cruise comfortably rather than chase modern sport-yacht speed. Twin engines, a manageable beam, and the flybridge helm make close-quarters maneuvering straightforward for an experienced crew, though older steering and throttle systems can feel less refined than newer yachts.
Comfort is adequate for family cruising or charter work, especially in the common 3-cabin, 2-head arrangements seen in listings. That said, space, stowage, and natural light are more limited than on newer 45-foot yachts, so the livability score depends heavily on whether the boat has been updated inside and whether the charter fit-out preserves usable private areas.
As value goes, the Princess 45 can be attractive because it delivers a respected hull and established layout at a lower entry cost than a modern equivalent. The tradeoff is that buyers must budget carefully for refit, machinery service, and aging systems, which matter more on a 1994 boat than on a newer model.
