Description:
The Princess Arianna is a bit of a floating mansion.  She has three Staterooms, two salons, three heads (vacuflush), and a laundry room, not to mention a sundeck and a very large party deck.  The boat is stabilized and very well equipped.  She is quite comfortable whether you are cruising the harbor or cruising the West Coast to Alaska.  (The Princess Arianna offers both local and long-range luxury.)

The interior of the vessel features beautiful honey colored teak. Throughout the feeling is one of warmth, safety and comfort.

The master stateroom is entered down a private spiral staircase from the aft starboard side of the main salon and has an island queen bed with copious amounts of storage on both side.  There is a private head (with vacuflush system) and tub/shower to port. To starboard is a huge closet with interior light.  Side ports and two large ports aft allow good natural lighting.  There is an anchorwatch/gps alarm located right next to the bed (for an added sense of safety at anchor.) As with most spaces aboard, the master stateroom has its own individual Air Conditioning/Heating unit.

The VIP and Forward Staterooms and the lower salon (with built-in office desk) are accessed from a separate starboard side staircase next to the lower helm. After dropping down into the lower salon, forward is a stateroom with vee-bunks, fresh water electric head and shower. Aft of the lower salon is the VIP stateroom with a single berth over a queen size berth.  To starboard is the ensuite head (with vacuflush) and integral shower.  Off of the VIP stateroom is the laundry room with full size washer and dryer 

Aft of this stateroom is a full width, stand up engine room with doors both fore and aft for easy access.   The engine room is every owner's playground.  Twin naturally aspirated Detroit 8V92s power the Princess.  Two generators, a 5kw inverter, and a fuel transfer/polishing system are just some of the features that make life aboard incredibly easy and comfortable.

The aft sun-deck, main salon, lower salon and galley are all very roomy with storage everywhere. Below the sole in the lower salon is a giant storage space extending the full width of the vessel. 

The flying bridge/party deck is very comfortable and will be the focal point of many parties.  The flying bridge also holds the shore boat aft (easily launched with by electric crane) with railings all around. There are covers on most seat cushions and full canvas covers for all the rails. (The brightwork is in very good condition).

The hull has been painted (LP) and has all new striping. The salon teak floor has been re-varnished in 2008.

There are ample spares and cruising gear aboard for extended cruising.
