Broker's Comments

An exceptionally well presented Princess 388 Fly bridge that has been meticulously cared for in every detail. There is an extensive portfolio with all manuals and an operators manual. and it is evident that the current and previous owners have kept this boat to a very high standard sparing no expense whatsoever.
I would go so far as to say she is immaculately presented and I doubt there is a better example available here in the UK.
(2017) survey available.
There is a brand new Honwave inflatable dinghy and a brand new Yamaha 2.5 hp outboard available.
This boat really does have to be seen to be fully appreciated as no amount of photo's will do her justice.
