Princess 380 Fly (1996) – stylish 11-metre flybridge motor yacht with 2 cabins
The 1996 Princess 380 Fly is a well-loved classic in the flybridge motor yacht segment. With an overall length of around 11 metres and a beam of 3.80 metres, this model offers an appealing combination of space, handling and practical dimensions for berths and marinas. This Princess is designed for comfortable cruising on inland waterways as well as at sea, and the current owner has indeed used her at sea for holidays. You can see that in the well-considered equipment and the focus on independent cruising, longer stays on board and relaxed days on the water.

Layout and onboard comfort
Inside, the headroom of approximately 2.00 metres immediately stands out, making time spent in the saloon and galley very comfortable. The boat has two cabins and—unusually for this length class—two separate bathrooms, each with an electric toilet. This makes the Princess 380 Fly attractive for couples who like to take guests along, or for owners who value privacy and comfort during longer trips.
The master cabin features an enlarged bed, improving sleeping comfort. In addition to the fixed berths, there is extra sleeping capacity, making the boat flexible for weekend trips and holidays. Hot water is available, as is a shower, and the dinette connects logically to the living area, keeping the saloon functional both during the day and in the evening.
Galley and amenities for longer journeys
The galley is set up for real onboard cooking. You will find a hob, oven, sink and refrigeration, with the added benefit of two refrigerators with freezer compartments. This is practical for longer stays on board, especially if you like to anchor out or spend several days underway in a row. For climate comfort there is air conditioning and heating, extending the season and keeping the boat attractive in spring and autumn as well.
Engines and performance: Volvo Penta TAMD 63
This Princess 380 Fly is equipped with twin Volvo Penta TAMD 63 diesel inboard engines, each producing 272 hp. With two engines you not only cruise with power, but also with control, which is reassuring in changing conditions on open water. The stated cruising speed is around 16 km/h and the top speed around 26 km/h, suitable for comfortable touring and brisk passages between destinations. The engine hours (approx. 1200 and 1100 hours) indicate usage, and the onboard instruments such as tachometer, oil pressure, temperature and fuel gauges support clear monitoring while underway. Notably, both turbos have been addressed and engine service was carried out in October 2025.
Handling and manoeuvring: bow and stern thrusters
A key advantage for manoeuvring is the combination of an electric bow thruster and a stern thruster. In marinas, in crosswinds or in tight berths, this provides extra control, especially together with the twin rudders and trim tabs. An electric anchor windlass with chain also makes anchoring comfortable and efficient, making the boat well suited to trips where you like to lie at anchor in a bay or at a quiet anchorage.
Navigation, electronics and power management
For navigation and safety, the equipment is comprehensive: GPS, chartplotter, depth sounder, log/speedometer, compass, VHF radio and fishfinder are on board, complemented by an autopilot. This makes the Princess 380 Fly interesting for skippers who cover longer distances and want to hold course in a relaxed way.
The power system is also set up for independent stays. In addition to shore power, there is a battery charger, alternator, inverter, voltmeter and four batteries. Particularly attractive is the presence of solar panels (2x100W Victron) and a wind generator, supplemented by a generator. This makes it easier to run onboard systems when you are not continuously in a marina.
Exterior, flybridge and deck equipment
Outside, this flybridge yacht offers the look Princess is known for, with a teak deck, bathing platform and swim ladder for easy access to the water. The bimini provides shade on sunny days, while the full flybridge cover is a notably practical advantage: it allows the flybridge to be used comfortably in cooler periods or in changeable weather. The exterior cushions were renewed in 2024.
As extras, two televisions are included, matching the existing satellite provision. Finally, electric bilge pumps are fitted, in keeping with the character of a motor yacht designed for comfortable, carefree cruising.
All in all, the Princess 380 Fly is a complete flybridge motor yacht for those looking for space, two cabins with two bathrooms, strong Volvo Penta diesel engines and equipment that invites longer journeys and relaxed holidays on inland waters and at sea.
