The 2007 Princess 42 Open Flybridge represents the pinnacle of European motor yacht craftsmanship, combining elegant design with formidable offshore performance. Powered by twin Volvo D6 435hp engines driving twin stainless steel shaft drives with four-blade bronze propellers and Tide dripless shaft seals, this vessel delivers a confident cruise speed of 18–24 knots — effortlessly connecting the Hauraki Gulf and beyond. The GRP monohull is built to Princess Yachts' exacting British standards, offering a beam of 4.14 metres for a spacious and stable platform.
Below decks, the accommodation is both thoughtfully arranged and generously proportioned. The forward owner's stateroom features a private ensuite, while a starboard guest twin cabin also benefits from its own ensuite facilities. The versatile saloon easily reconfigures into a large double berth, accommodating guests with ease.
Ground tackle is handled by a Lewmar stainless steel delta anchor with 10mm galvanised chain across 50 metres — ready for serious coastal exploration. With two heads aboard and twin shaft drive reliability, the Princess 42 Open Flybridge is a compelling blend of performance, comfort, and blue-water capability. Located in Auckland and offered at NZD $595,000, this is a rare opportunity to acquire an iconic European flybridge cruiser.
