The Princess 33 is a highly desirable and durable British motor cruiser from the 1970?s and 80?s. Well suited to inland and offshore waters due to its semi-displacement hull. Mercator boasts a spacious and comfortable interior layout and is a tidy example of this popular cruiser. Under her current tenure her twin Ford Mermaid engines have been serviced annually and she presents well. She is ideal for anyone looking for British build quality, versatility and comfort on the water at an affordable price.
