Mecanical :
The 115 hp Yamaha four stroke engine is protected by a swim platform on both sides, rubber fenders protect from shocks during docking from the aft (see videos). Piloting is done from the inside and the wheel is very responsive.
The engine lifts out of the water from the cockpit, so you can clean or change the propeller without getting wet. There is an emergency propeller.

1 Batteries PowerPlus 12V 85AN and 2 batteries Powerline 110 AN
Very well equipped with electrical sockets no fewer than 10 English sockets 220V, 6 French sockets 220V and 4 USB sockets, enough to charge all your electronic devices in any room of the boat.

An interesting conversion on what was originally a standard Princess 32. Our vendor has had a professional installation of an outboard motor done and totally rebuilt the interior to a very high standard. The bilge looks clean and is well ventilated by the multiple ventilation installed by our owners.
Hatches are placed cleverly everywhere giving access to all equipment and important bilge location.
Accommodation
| Total # of berths | 6 |
|---|---|
| No. of double berths | 1 |
| No. of single berths | 4 |
| Cabin(s) | 2 |
| Handbasin | 1 |
| Shower | 1 |
| Heads | 1 heads (Manual) |
Our owner, a former building professional, has almost completely renovated with care this Princess 32. Converted from an inboard diesel engine to an outboard installation which has allowed the engine bay to be transformed into a twin cabin aft with two single berths.
In this aft cabin we have a headroom of 1.84 and two beds of 0.75X1.90.
This modification increases the accommodation from 4 to 6 beds, which is quite impressive for less than 10 meter long and only 3 meters wide.
The cockpit is really bright with lots of fresh air thanks to its two side openings, the headroom here is 1.78 m.
Three steps take us to the living room kitchen, 1.84 m headroom here.
The kitchen is well equipped with a gas grill above the gas oven, a fridge powered by gas or electric, four gas burners, and lots of storage.
Very well equipped with electrical sockets no fewer than 10 English sockets 220V, 6 French sockets 220V and 4 USB sockets, enough to charge all your electronic devices anywhere in the boat.
The dinette can be converted into a double bed of 1X1.80 meters and there is a small sofa starboard to complete this living space.
The heads has an Eco-friendly composting toilet really well integrated into the heads compartment. Very nicely done and even a fan for improved ventilation. There are two shower curtains that protect the sink and toilet during the shower. Hot water is provided by an electric immersion heater. The headroom is 1.78 in this shower.
Finally in the forward cabin we have a headroom of 1.80m and two V beds of 0.75X1.90 meters.
Under the mattress towards the bow is a direct access to the bow thruster. There are folding 4 chairs and a table under the V berths for Al fresco canal side dining.
It's an impressive job done by our owners, the boat is almost completely rebuilt and many professionals couldn’t do better.

Broker's Comments
River cruiser Princess 32 for sale. Boatshed Midi Canals is happy to offer this converted and comprehensively restored Princess 32 for sale in the south of France.
It is an ideal boat to enjoy holidays and weekends on the French rivers and canals. Our owners, former building professionals, have carefully transformed this boat by maximising its potential for their personal pleasure.
By installing an outboard engine, they created two additional berths aft in what was the engine room. So we now have 6 beds in less than 10 meters long. In addition to this, the whole boat has been renovated and upgraded to a very high standard.
Check out the photos and videos: this boat inspires two words: "cleanliness" and "quality" and all at a very accessible price. In fact, it's half the price of a motor home and you won't get stuck in traffic jams!
For more information and appointments to view, please contact Robin de Frayssinet, your local broker at Boatshed Midi Canals.
