The Princess 45 is a classic flybridge yacht from Princess Yachts, with the model most commonly documented at about 47 ft LOA rather than the 45.0 ft shown in the listing. Its GRP planing hull, generous beam, and three-cabin, two-head layout give it the feel of a proper family cruiser rather than a lightweight day boat.
On the water, the model has a strong reputation for stable, confident handling and good seakeeping, with twin diesel power providing reliable cruising performance. Exact output varies by version and engine fit, so performance should be judged by the specific boat’s machinery and maintenance history rather than the model name alone.
Inside, the Princess 45 is generally regarded as comfortable and practical, with a sensible saloon-galley arrangement and enough accommodation for extended trips. Air conditioning and WiFi improve charter usability, but as an older yacht, condition, refit quality, and service records will matter more than the brochure spec.
In value terms, it appeals to buyers who want proven Princess construction and classic flybridge character at a lower entry point than newer yachts. It is a strong choice if maintained well, though buyers should expect discrepancies in published dimensions and fuel capacity across sources and verify the exact inventory before booking or purchase.
