2008 Princess 58

Boat Overview

“Best Day Ever” is a hard-to-find and rarely traded Princess 58 Flybridge. This vessel is expected to sell quickly as it represents the best example of this model available in years. The current owner has owned three similar vessels, and all systems must function flawlessly for the month-long trips he regularly takes to the Exumas, Bahamas.

Maintenance and Service

All mechanical service has been provided by Caterpillar specialists Southshore Marine Diesel, with a maintenance program by Neptune Marine Detailing. Recent attention includes:

• Full service to engines and generator
• Full hull wax
• Full interior detail
• New aft cockpit upholstery
• New bimini top
• Teak refinishing

Engine and Performance

This vessel features upgraded Caterpillar C-15 engines with STRAIGHT SHAFTS (no pod drives or v-drives), maintaining the efficiency and maintenance accessibility of an inline-6 engine. The engine room and enormous lazarette appear as if they just left the factory. The vessel’s tunnel form hull provides a shallow draft of 4’2”, which is rare for a nearly 60’ vessel. It boasts a full-beam master, included in a total of 3 staterooms and 2 dry heads.

Features

The vessel is equipped with a hydraulic crane stowed in the transom, providing a large tender platform. This crane ensures ease of maintenance and reliability, allowing for easy retrieval of your tender without the added issues that often affect swim platform lifts. Additional features include:

• Custom mounted high-performance Starlink satellite
• Large flybridge
• Multiple salon couches
• Large U-shaped dinette
• Cocktail bar
• Spacious kitchen
