2018 Princess V40 | Seakeeper Stabilized | VAT Paid | Yacht Controller
The Narrative

This 2018 Princess V40 is a high-specification sports cruiser offered with EU VAT paid status and a single-owner history. The vessel has been maintained with low wear and tear, presenting a turnkey opportunity for buyers seeking a manageable yet capable express yacht.

The exterior layout is designed for flexibility. The cockpit serves as the primary social hub, protected by an electric hardtop sunroof. When closed, this feature allows the cockpit to function as a climate-controlled enclosure, adaptable to varying weather conditions. Aft, a hydraulic swimming platform provides convenient water access and serves as a launch and recovery system for the tender.

Mechanically, the vessel is powered by twin Volvo Penta D6-330 engines. A defining feature of this specific hull is its extensive maneuvering suite; docking is assisted by a Volvo Joystick system and a wireless Yacht Controller, allowing for precision handling in tight quarters. Additionally, the vessel is retrofitted with a Seakeeper 3 Gyroscopic Stabilizer, ensuring superior stability at zero speed—a rare option in the 40-foot segment.

Below deck, the interior is characterized by significant natural light admission. The lower salon features a convertible dinette and a fully equipped galley. Accommodation is provided for four guests across two cabins: a forward master suite with direct head access, and an aft guest cabin featuring sliding berths that convert from twins to a double configuration.
