The layout is designed for longer stays aboard, with four fixed berths divided over two cabins. The owner’s cabin features a fixed French bed, while the second cabin offers two single beds—ideal for family, guests or a weekend away with friends. The wet cell includes a shower and there is hot water on board, clearly enhancing comfort for multi-day trips.The saloon and galley are set up to make staying inside pleasant even in poorer weather. You will find, among other things, a refrigerator, freezer, hob, oven and microwave, so you are not dependent on shore facilities. Hot-air heating extends the season and provides a comfortable temperature in spring and autumn. In 2024, the saloon, kitchen and helm were fitted with new modern carpeting, and a custom-made memory-foam mattress was installed, noticeably improving sleeping comfort.Flybridge and outdoor living: teak, cockpit comfort and hydraulic gangwayA key advantage of the Princess 360 Flybridge is life outdoors. The flybridge offers an elevated seating and helm position with excellent visibility, which is especially pleasant on rivers, lakes and busy cruising areas. In 2024, the cockpit and flybridge cushions were reupholstered in taupe, water-resistant Skai, keeping the look modern and well cared for. On the aft deck, the cockpit table, cockpit tent, sprayhood and bimini provide flexibility: open cruising on warm days or sheltered seating when it cools down.The teak deck contributes to the classic Princess appearance and creates a warm, nautical atmosphere. Particularly practical is the hydraulic gangway with the capacity to carry a tender on brackets—an arrangement that makes boarding easier and supports the use of a dinghy. Further equipment includes, among other things, a bathing ladder, guardrails, deck covers and an electric anchor windlass with chain, suitable for comfortable anchoring and mooring.Navigation and electrics: dual helm concept and modern aidsThis vessel has a dual helm, allowing you to operate both from inside and from the flybridge. Lowrance navigation equipment is installed both upstairs and inside, with Navionics charts. Functions such as GPS, chartplotter, VHF radio, log/speedometer, depth sounder and fishfinder are also available. An autopilot is present, with the note that the Autohelm steering autopilot is currently not functioning due to a faulty compass. One tachometer is also not working properly; two new tachometers are included to resolve this.The electrical system is original in design and fitted with automatic circuit breakers. With 12V and 220V, shore power, battery charger, alternator and a battery bank of four batteries (total approx. 330Ah), there is a solid basis for staying aboard. New start batteries were installed in 2024, and in 2025 new marine domestic batteries of 165Ah each were added. Extras such as a smart TV (2025) and a safe increase convenience.Underwater hull and usage history: inland use and recent antifoulingThe boat has mainly been used on inland waterways and, apart from an occasional holiday, has seen little to no salt water. In 2024, the underwater hull was professionally treated with a new antifouling system: the hull was stripped back to the gelcoat and rebuilt with Primacon layers and two coats of antifouling. The vessel was taken out of the water for maintenance in 2024 and no indications of osmosis have been reported.Buying a Princess 360 Flybridge: versatile motor yacht for weekends, holidays and larger watersThose looking for a Princess 360 Flybridge often choose the combination of British yard quality, a timeless design and a layout that truly works for longer stays.
