General Overview of the Princess 37

Princess 37 now in the online auction. Everyone can bid until January 19, 2026.
Construction and Design
The hull of the Princess 37 is made of polyester, a material known for its durability and low-maintenance properties. The S-shaped hull ensures a smooth ride, even in less favorable weather conditions. Steering is done via a wheel and is dual, meaning it can be controlled both inside and outside. This offers flexibility when maneuvering in harbors or sailing in different weather conditions.
Motorization and Technical Equipment
The Princess 37 is equipped with two Ford 2715E diesel engines, each with a power of 120 hp. Both engines are electrically started and have six cylinders. According to available information, both engines are operational and start immediately. The engines are from the same year as the ship, namely 1982. The fuel tank has a capacity of 400 liters, providing a wide range on the water.
On board, there is an electric bow thruster, which facilitates docking and maneuvering. The electrical installation consists of a battery charger, alternator, voltmeter, and shore power connection. There are two batteries on board with a total capacity of 280 Ah. The onboard voltage is 12V and 220V. A Farymann generator is present, but it currently does not start. The heater is not operational.
Interior and Accommodation
The accommodation of the Princess 37 is designed for four fixed berths. On board, there is a shower, electric toilet, refrigerator, freezer, stove, and mattresses. The water tank has a capacity of 400 liters. The heating on board is based on hot air, providing comfort during sailing in colder seasons. The toilet discharge is directly connected to open water.
Navigation and Equipment
In terms of navigation, the ship is equipped with a log/speedometer. For anchoring, there is one anchor available. The exterior equipment includes a deck cover, fenders, lines, and a swim platform.
Registration and Documentation
The ship has a Dutch registration number YN-96-47. There is no recent information available about when the ship was last out of the water or when the last antifouling treatment was performed.
History and Current Condition
According to the seller, the ship is in original condition and there is general overdue maintenance. Visually, the ship makes a well-kept impression, but technically there are points that require attention. The engines function properly and start immediately. The generator is present but currently not operational. The ship has mainly been used on inland waters.
Conclusion
The Princess 37 from 1982 offers a spacious and functional motor yacht with twin engines and a practical layout. With its classic design and generous dimensions, the ship is suitable for longer stays on board. The current condition of the ship requires attention in terms of maintenance but also offers a solid basis for further optimization. The combination of space, engine power, and equipment makes this ship interesting for enthusiasts of classic motor yachts looking for a project with potential.
