Afon モーターヨット

950 hours on her two MTU engines is a low figure for a motor yacht built in 2020, a figure that says as much about how she has been run as any inspection could: steady use, not hard use. Princess built her as a 30M, and the engineering behind that low-hours figure is what a buyer is really assessing when they come aboard Afon.

Build and provenance

Princess builds the 30M as a semi-displacement flybridge motor yacht, and this one came off the line in 2020 at 31 metres and 162 gross tons, with a beam of 6.8 metres and a draught of 2.1 metres. Her original owner has run her as a family yacht since new, which lines up with the low hours still on her engines.

Layout and accommodation

Ten guests sleep in five cabins, with the owner's suite set forward on the main deck, level with the salon floor and lit through a ceiling hatch. The main salon divides into a television lounge and a dining area that seats ten, lit in part by an onyx panel. Five crew look after the guests throughout their stay.

Performance and engineering

Two MTU 12V 2000 engines have logged 950 hours between them, cruising at 16 knots and reaching 22 knots flat out. Range is around 700 nautical miles, pointing to a yacht built for extended coastal runs rather than short hops. Fin stabilisers keep her steady both at anchor and under way.

On deck and at anchor

The flybridge carries a jacuzzi under a hardtop with a sliding roof section, along with a wet bar, and the swim platform lowers hydraulically to the water. Aft, a tender garage and a watermaker round out what she carries for time at anchor.

Where she lies and how to see her

Afon lies in Greece. Boatcrowd arranges viewings and is on hand for each one, and once an offer is accepted, survey and sea trial follow before handover.
