2005 Princess 45 Flybridge Full Tour and Cost Breakdown - Why is this boat so cosy?? 🧣

Fri, 01 May 2026 16:00:24 +0000

Join us on a very windy day on the east coast near Ipswich as we step aboard this beautifully kept 2005 Princess 45 🌊💨 From the moment you walk into the freshly cleaned teak cockpit, there’s a real sense that this boat has been properly cared for. Inside, it’s all about that classic Princess feel – warm cherry gloss wood, comfortable seating, and a cosy, inviting atmosphere that still holds up surprisingly well today.

As we move through the saloon and down into the galley, you’ll see how practical this layout is for entertaining. Whether you’re chatting with guests while cooking or just enjoying the space, everything feels nicely connected. This particular boat has also had a serious upgrade where it counts, with £20,000 worth of modern electronics installed, bringing a 2005 yacht right up to 2025 standards ⚓📡

Down below, the accommodation delivers exactly what you’d want from a boat of this size – three cabins and two heads, making it ideal for families or longer trips away. Up top, the flybridge offers great visibility (despite the wind!) and a relaxed space to enjoy the surroundings, while the twin Volvo diesels and shaft drive setup promise solid, dependable performance at sea.

We also break down the real-world ownership costs – from purchase and finance through to fuel, berthing, and maintenance – giving you a clear picture of what it’s like to run a Princess 45 in today’s market 💷 Whether you’re considering your next boat or just enjoy a proper walk-through, this one’s well worth a look
