An exceptional example of the award-winning Princess M-Class, and close to the peak of British yacht building and bespoke luxury. At a class-leading 196 GT it combines generous social spaces with real passage-making performance.

It carries the highly sought-after custom five-cabin layout, sleeping up to ten guests, including a full-beam master suite forward on the main deck.

Twin MTU 16V 2000 M94 main engines (2,637 hp each) give a top speed of 24 knots. ABT TRAC zero-speed fin stabilisers keep it comfortable both at anchor and under way.

S/Y PRINCESS stands out in the 40-foot performance cruiser class, balancing modern design, real speed and unusual ease of handling. Clean lines, a plumb bow and a broad stern give excellent stability in a seaway and an effortless 8-knot passage speed.

The Hanse 415 is built for short-handed sailing. The self-tacking jib means tacks are handled from the wheel alone, and all halyards and sheets run below deck to primary winches beside the twin helms, so the helmsman never has to leave the wheel.

Below, easy steps lead into a bright, airy saloon lit by large hatches and hull windows. The forward master offers generous standing headroom, and the aft cabins give guests comfortable doubles.
