Princess 32 Riviera... opinions ???

[Nick1150]

Hi,

I was going for a fly version around 35 feet, but because of budget reduce, I have to settle in a lower budget open scenario. I am a Princess Yachts admirer and therefore the first thing in mind was the 32 Riviera. I have been looking for opinions for this specific model, but it seems that there is nothing around.

Does anyone own such a boat, or has he or she owned in the past ?

What should I be careful at... pro / cons ?

Can you please comment the differences with her older sister Princess 366 as far as sea worthiness is concerned ?

Thank you in advance

Nick

hello
I was actually going to purchase a 32 Riviera in 1993 so I know the boat quite well,
surprisingly the 32 handles the seas better to a 366 I had occasion to drive them both in moderate seas and the 32 is a good eater of head seas
the problem this boat has is that it feels small for a 32 footer in all areas, but if you can live with his go ahead
sales where very slow too mostly because the double cabin 33 Targa, which does not compare to the sea handling of the 32 was more attractive to the buyers at a similar price
for the rest I will send you a PM

Agree with PYB, a phenomenal sea boat, especially in a head sea.

Didn't work because it was a two cabin (mid cabin and converting saloon layout and was overshadowed by the three cabin (two sleeping cabins plus converting saloon) 346/366 Riviera.

Great boat though, if the layout works for you and the price reflects the layout.

Actualy the layout is limited for a family of 4 but given a good price, yes I could be interested... Now that you say "phenomenal" I am really interested about her....

Should I post a new thread with subject: Wanted Princess 32 Riviera ?



Any owner here ?
