Substantial, yet versatile all-weather cruiser – Princess V52, NINKASI

February 16, 2018

A tremendously well specified and cared for 2011 example of the Princess V52 from sea-royalty, Princess Yachts.

NINKASI’s inventory was carefully considered at build by her original owner – his desires were to have a yacht that could comfortably cruise in both the Mediterranean and the UK, albeit she has stayed here in the UK since new. Throughout her life she has been religiously maintained mechanically and aesthetically – over the past 4 years she has benefited from a part-time skipper who has kept on top everything and anything that has needed to be serviced, repaired or improved – like clockwork.
