Best Day Ever - PRINCESS FOR SALE

“Best Day Ever” is a seldom-offered Princess 58 Flybridge Motor Yacht that stands out as the finest example of this sought-after model to hit the market in years. Owned by an experienced yachtsman on his third similar Flybridge cruiser, every system has been kept dialed-in for month-long runs to the Exumas, Bahamas. Mechanical work has been handled by Caterpillar experts at Southshore Marine Diesel, with cosmetic and care programs by Neptune Marine Detailing. Recent attention covers everything: full engine and generator services, complete hull polish, deep interior detail, new aft cockpit upholstery, fresh flybridge bimini, and refinished teak. Power comes from the upgraded Caterpillar C15 straight‑six diesels on straight shafts—no pods or V‑drives—delivering efficiency, simplicity, and superb service access. The engine room and cavernous lazarette present as if factory-fresh.

A tunnel-form hull gives a remarkably shallow 4'2" draft—rare for a near-60' Luxury Motor Yacht—with a full‑beam master, three staterooms, and two dry heads. A hydraulic crane concealed in the transom pairs with a generous tender platform, providing reliable, low-maintenance tender handling without the complexity of lift swim platforms. A custom high‑performance Starlink install, expansive flybridge, multiple salon lounges, a large U‑shaped dinette, cocktail bar, generous galley, washer/dryer, and abundant storage make her the perfect shallow‑water Cruiser Yacht for the Bahamas and Florida Keys. For comfortable, high‑performance, long‑range cruising—with the proven parts and customer support of Princess Yachts America—the Princess 58 Flybridge remains the benchmark in the Flybridge Motor Yacht category. “Best Day Ever” has been lovingly upgraded with an extensive list of recent and prior improvements, all services current. She’s truly turn‑key and ready for the next Exumas adventure.

Lower helm position

At the heart of this Flybridge Motor Yacht, the lower helm delivers clear sightlines and smart ergonomics for confident passages. Twin helm seats slide fore and aft to suit the helmsman, while electric-opening windows at the helm and to port bring fresh air on demand. A new custom instrument console neatly presents engine instruments and fuel gauges alongside full dual-station controls mirrored with the flybridge, keeping this Luxury Cruiser / Cruiser Yacht intuitive underway. The suite includes a rudder position indicator, electronic engine controls, power‑assisted hydraulic steering with an adjustable wheel, bow thruster control, electric anchor winch with remote control, trim tabs with indicators, autopilot, and a VHF DSC radiotelephone with intercom. Navigation is anchored by two Garmin 1243 multifunction displays paired to HD+ radar, with speed and distance log, an echo sounder with alarm, a fast‑response magnetic compass, and a remotely controlled searchlight. Practical touches abound: a horn button at hand, a chart table with illumination and dedicated chart stowage, and triple windscreen wipers with blade‑mounted freshwater washers. Safety and service checks are effortless with bilge pump controls and warning lights, a contaminated fuel warning light, and a combined 24v and 240v control panel, while PVC sun screens temper glare for relaxed cruising.

Flybridge

The flybridge amplifies the open‑air spirit of this Flybridge Motor Yacht and Luxury Cruiser with mirrored dual‑station controls (as per the lower helm), power‑assisted hydraulic steering with an adjustable wheel, and a double helm seat that keeps skipper and companion comfortable. Thoughtful social zones welcome eight, with a U‑shaped sofa and drinks table, a generous sunbed with storage below, and a stereo CD/radio setting the tone underway or at anchor. A wind‑deflector screen, stainless‑steel handrails, GRP radar arch, and tailored console and seat covers speak to durability and care, while matched whip aerials serve VHF/RT and radio. Entertaining is effortless thanks to a flybridge wet bar with sink, electric barbecue grill, and hot‑and‑cold water, complemented by a refrigerated cold box. Access is easy via the hatch to the aft cockpit, making this Cruiser Yacht a natural choice for relaxed gatherings and scenic cruising.

Galley

The galley is designed for easy, elegant living aboard this Luxury Motor Yacht, featuring an Avonite‑style worktop, a four‑zone ceramic hob, and a combination microwave/conventional oven with grill. A stainless‑steel sink with mixer tap sits opposite a full‑height refrigerator of one hundred and ninety‑nine litres with a seventy‑one‑litre freezer, while a discreet waste bin keeps the space tidy. Illumination blends overhead and concealed lighting for a warm ambiance. Storage is abundant, with drawers, cupboards, and a dedicated cutlery drawer, and provision is made opposite for a washer/dryer. It is a practical, welcoming space that suits coastal weekends and extended cruising alike in a refined Cruiser Yacht.

Saloon and dining area

Accommodation throughout this Flybridge Motor Yacht brings light, power, and quiet convenience: every cabin has opening portholes and two hundred and forty volt outlets, and every bathroom is fitted with electric Quietflush toilets and two hundred and forty volt shaver points. The deck saloon invites conversation with a U‑shaped sofa featuring storage drawers and a coffee table, a settee opposite, and an entertainment centre with LCD TV and DVD/radio feeding a surround‑sound system. Window treatments—blinds, curtains, or sun screens—partner with overhead and pelmet lighting to tailor the mood, while a triple, stainless‑framed sliding door opens wide to the aft cockpit. The dining area offers U‑shaped seating with additional stools to seat six in total, plus a cocktail cabinet with bottle and glass stowage, a refrigerator, and an icemaker. It is a calm, flexible living space suited to this Luxury Cruiser / Cruiser Yacht.

Aft cockpit

Purpose‑built for this Flybridge Motor Yacht, the self‑draining aft cockpit combines clean design and daily practicality. An upholstered seat faces warm LED lighting, protected by a fitted cockpit cover and framed by stainless‑steel handrails. The transom bathing platform carries a foldaway swim ladder, hot and cold shower, and a three‑metre telescopic passerelle with remote control that doubles as a tender or wet‑bike lift up to two hundred and eighty kilograms. Access is straightforward: a gas‑strut hatch opens to the lazarette, a transom door leads to the platform, and a dedicated locker houses remote fuel cocks and a manual bilge pump with its valve chest. Further lockers store fenders and a liferaft (not supplied), JL Audio cockpit lockers, and a separate hatch provides direct engine‑room access. Music from the saloon stereo plays through cockpit speakers, and shore power is neatly handled via a locker with a two hundred and twenty/two hundred and forty volt inlet and cable stowage. It is a welcoming, sea‑ready zone on a versatile Cruiser Yacht.

Deck

The teak‑laid transom platform, cockpit sole, flybridge stairway, and steps to the side decks set a warm, sure‑footed tone for this Luxury Motor Yacht. Ground tackle is effortless with a reversible two‑thousand‑watt electric anchor winch controlled from the foredeck, helm, and flybridge, feeding a stemhead roller with automatic launch and retrieve. A self‑stowing twenty‑five kilogram Delta anchor rides on forty metres of chain, with a deck hatch for chain‑locker access. Practical deck detailing includes bow and stern rope lockers, stainless‑steel bow, stern, and spring cleats, fairleads forward and aft, stainless‑steel pulpit and guard rails, and polished handrails along the coachroof and flybridge. A foredeck hatch, stainless rubbing band with rubber insert, a full IMCO navigation‑light suite, riding light, dual‑station remote control searchlight, twin electric horns, and clearly marked fuel and water fillers round out a secure, seamanlike Cruiser Yacht package.

Power and drive systems

Performance and control on this Flybridge Motor Yacht are underpinned by four‑bladed aquafoil propellers in nickel‑aluminium bronze and a one hundred and twenty‑five kilogram‑force bow thruster with controls at both stations. The engine room is bright with LED lighting, while power‑assisted hydraulic steering and electronic engine and gear‑shift controls offer fingertip handling. Trim tabs with position indicators fine‑tune attitude. A freshwater supply point in the engine room supports maintenance, and extractor fans with electronic time delay manage heat and airflow. It is a quietly capable drivetrain befitting a refined Cruiser Yacht.

Engine options

Choose the propulsion that suits your cruising style on this Luxury Motor Yacht: twin Volvo D12‑715 engines, two by seven hundred and fifteen horsepower, deliver a speed range of thirty to thirty‑two knots; twin Volvo D12‑800 engines, two by seven hundred and seventy‑five horsepower, offer thirty‑one to thirty‑three knots; and twin Caterpillar C15 engines, two by eight hundred and sixty‑five horsepower, provide approximately thirty‑two to thirty‑four knots. Each option pairs refined performance with the long‑leg comfort expected of a Cruiser Yacht.

Electrical

A robust electrical architecture supports life aboard this Flybridge Motor Yacht. The twenty‑four volt system comprises four heavy‑duty engine‑start batteries and six heavy‑duty auxiliary batteries, with engine alternators charging both banks through blocking diodes. A seventy‑five amp, twenty‑four volt float charger maintains the auxiliary bank, while a five amp, twenty‑four volt float charger serves the start bank. Remote battery master switches are controlled at the main switch panel, and every circuit is protected by breakers. A twenty‑four to twelve volt dropper supplies selected navigation and radio circuits. The two hundred and twenty/two hundred and forty volt system centres on a nine point five kilowatt diesel generator in its own sound shield with water‑cooled, specially silenced exhaust. Safety is enhanced by an automatic fire extinguisher by the generator, a shore‑power inlet, a generator/shore change‑over switch, polarity check, earth‑leakage safety trip, and breakers on all circuits. Two hundred and forty volt outlets are thoughtfully placed in all cabins, the galley (double), saloon, dining area, and utility space, with shaver points in all bathrooms. It is an effortlessly capable setup for a Luxury Cruiser / Cruiser Yacht.

Safety

Safety systems on this Flybridge Motor Yacht are designed for calm confidence. Fire protection includes automatic extinguishers with manual override in the engine room and generator space, plus five hand‑operated extinguishers distributed across all cabins, the galley, and the main helm position, with an additional unit fitted when the optional aft cabin is specified. Bilge management is equally thorough: automatic electric pumps with manual override are located in the engine room (forward and aft), the rudder area, the lazarette, and the forward accommodation—six in all—backed by a high‑capacity manual bilge pump with a valve system and suction points in the same areas. Electric pumps are monitored with controls and warning lights at the main helm console, and at the flybridge helm a warning light is paired with an audible alarm. This is reassuring, seamanlike protection befitting a Luxury Cruiser / Cruiser Yacht.
