2009 Princess V53

The 2009 Princess Yachts V53 is a sport yacht that balances speed with practical comfort. Twin Volvo Penta D12-800 engines deliver 30 knots top speed and a 26-knot cruise, making it ideal for day trips and weekend escapes. Its three-cabin layout and fiberglass hull offer a smart entry into the Princess brand without the new-boat price tag.
 

This V53 suits buyers who want a fast, manageable sport yacht for Greek island hopping. Families with up to six people will appreciate the three cabins, while couples can use the extra space for guests. It is not a long-range explorer, but for coastal cruising and marina life, it is a strong fit.
 

Is the 2009 Princess Yachts V53 for Sale?

Yes, this 2009 Princess Yachts V53 is currently offered for sale through its listing broker. The yacht is located in Glyfada, Greece, and is ready for Mediterranean cruising without delivery hassle. Because Princess yachts hold value better than many competitors, availability of a comparable example in similar condition may be limited.
 

For buyers, availability is less important than the condition of the specific boat. Engine hours, Volvo Penta D12-800 service records, hull condition, interior finishes, and the full listing details should all be reviewed. A well-documented example with a clean survey can have a very different ownership profile from another V53 that has deferred maintenance.
 

2009 Princess Yachts V53 Price

The asking price for this 2009 Princess Yachts V53 should be confirmed directly with the listing broker, as pricing for sport yachts varies with condition, equipment, and documented service history. Princess yachts hold value better than many competitors, so a well-documented V53 should depreciate slowly, which supports resale potential. Asking prices are subject to change and should not be treated as confirmed transaction values.
 

The purchase price is only part of the budget for a 53-foot sport yacht. Plan for fuel costs above all: twin 800 HP diesels burn roughly 180-220 liters per hour at cruise, so a 200-nautical-mile trip costs around €800-€1,000 in diesel. Annual maintenance for this size runs €8,000-€12,000, and berthing in Glyfada adds significant cost. Buyers should also account for a professional survey, haul-out, insurance, and general upkeep.
 

Performance and Propulsion

This Princess V53 is powered by twin 800 HP Volvo Penta D12-800 inboard diesels, pushing this V53 to 30 knots, a rare punch for a 2009 sport yacht. The Volvo Penta D12-800 is a well-regarded marine diesel known for reliable operation, and the twin installation delivers a 26-knot cruise that makes it ideal for day trips and weekend escapes.
 

The fiberglass deep-V hull cuts through chop while keeping fuel burn reasonable at 26 knots. Actual speed and fuel consumption depend on load, sea conditions, propeller condition, and hull maintenance, so sea trial at both cruise and top speed to check turbo and cooling performance. Twin 800 HP diesels burn roughly 180-220 liters per hour at cruise, so a 200-nautical-mile trip costs around €800-€1,000 in diesel.
 

Exterior Design and Construction

This 2009 Princess Yachts V53 features a fiberglass deep-V hull that cuts through chop while keeping fuel burn reasonable at 26 knots, and Princess build quality means solid resale value, especially for a well-maintained V53. The exterior layout is designed for coastal cruising and marina life, with a manageable 53-foot footprint. The yacht is located in Glyfada, Greece, and ready for Mediterranean cruising.
 

Buyers should inspect the hull and deck, stringers, bulkheads, running gear, shafts, propellers, rudders, through-hulls, fuel tanks, steering system, and any signs of water intrusion or previous structural repairs. Deck hardware, railings, and the cockpit layout should also be tested. Inspect engine hours and service records before anything else, and have a surveyor confirm the hull and systems are sound.
 

Interior and Accommodation

This 2009 Princess Yachts V53 offers three guest cabins that sleep six, giving families or small groups real overnight capability. Families with up to six people will appreciate the three cabins, while couples can use the extra space for guests. The layout is designed for day trips, weekend escapes, and coastal cruising rather than long-range exploration.
 

Individual boats may have different upholstery, appliances, flooring, entertainment systems, and interior finishes depending on subsequent refits. Buyers should inspect the galley equipment, refrigeration, air-conditioning, plumbing, bilge systems, and all accommodation spaces for condition and evidence of regular maintenance. The three-cabin arrangement provides privacy and comfort for owners and guests on Mediterranean trips.
 

What to Check Before Buying a 2009 Princess Yachts V53

Before making an offer, inspect engine hours and service records before anything else—these D12s are robust but expensive to rebuild. The survey should cover the hull and deck, stringers, bulkheads, running gear, shafts, propellers, rudders, through-hulls, fuel tanks, steering system, electrical equipment, air-conditioning, plumbing, and bilge systems. Deck hardware, railings, and the cockpit layout should also be tested.
 

The twin 800 HP Volvo Penta D12-800 diesels should be inspected individually, including engine hours, service records, diagnostic reports, cooling systems, turbochargers, exhaust components, transmissions, shafts, and propellers. Sea trial at both cruise and top speed to check turbo and cooling performance. Buyers should also test navigation electronics, autopilot, VHF radios, refrigeration, pumps, air-conditioning, and other onboard systems. If the survey is clean, this Princess V53 for sale is a smart used yacht purchase. Contact the broker to schedule a viewing in Greece and see the full listing.
