What moves the price up or down?
- Year and engine hours — the biggest single factors on both sides of the range.
- Refits and equipment — recent engine, sails, electronics or solar move boats toward the top of the range.
- VAT status and paperwork — VAT-paid boats with clean documentation command a premium in the EU.
- Region and berth — the same boat lists differently in the Med, the Baltic and inland markets.
- Season — spring listings typically price stronger than autumn ones.
Frequently asked questions
What is a used Princess V42 worth?
Across 151 comparable listings, the median asking price is €163,450, and most boats fall between €138,133 and €267,272. Year, engine hours and equipment drive where a specific boat lands in that range — see the table above.
Why is the price range so wide?
The same model can span decades of build years, refits and equipment levels. A recent engine, new sails or electronics, VAT status and even the berth region all move the price significantly.
How is this price calculated?
From real asking prices, not book values. We aggregate 300,000 boat listings across the European used-boat market — more than 110,000 of them with a confirmed European location — and show you the median and the middle 50% range, not the average, which outliers distort. Figures were last updated October 2026.
Is this an offer or a survey valuation?
No — it is a market estimate based on listing data. It is not a purchase offer and does not replace a marine survey. For a boat-specific figure, use the free AI valuation below.
