VIXEN is one of the best-kept and best-priced Princess 85s on the market, still with her second owner and featuring the rare hardtop with an openable sunroof. Built for serious cruising, she’s equipped with hydraulic zero-speed stabilizers, upgraded hydraulic bow thrusters, and a 600kg Opacmare crane, making tender and Jet Ski handling easy. Recent upgrades include all-new teak throughout, serviced hydraulic equipment, new hydraulic cylinders on the swim platform, and a fresh carpet and ceiling in the salon. Every system has been well maintained, and the yacht is in excellent condition.
Stepping into the main salon from the aft deck, the space is bright and well-laid-out, with new carpet, two loose sofas, and two armchairs around coffee tables. A 55” hi-lo TV is positioned across from the seating area, and a wooden dining table for eight is placed forward near the galley. Storage is built-in throughout, including a small under-counter fridge and an 18-bottle wine chiller. The day head is on the starboard side, finished with the same marble detailing found throughout the guest areas.
The galley is practical and well-equipped, positioned forward next to the wheelhouse with dual access from the main salon and the portside walkway. It features marble countertops, parquet flooring, and a full suite of Miele appliances, including a full-height fridge, microwave, oven, and cooktop. There’s also a dinette-style seating area for five to six people, and direct access to the wheelhouse. The helm is fully enclosed and accessible from three points—the starboard walkway, salon, and galley—featuring a large captain’s chair and additional seating with a table.
VIXEN accommodates eight guests across four cabins. The full-beam master stateroom, accessed via a midship staircase, is positioned at the yacht’s center of gravity for maximum stability. A queen-sized bed faces forward toward the ensuite bathroom, which includes a marble floor, double sinks, and a mosaic-detailed shower. A walk-in closet is positioned behind the bed, and full-height windows with openable portholes provide natural light and ventilation. On the port side, a vanity area includes plenty of drawer storage, while to starboard, a small seating area with chairs and a table adds to the space.
The lower deck guest area includes two double cabins and a bunk cabin. The portside bunk cabin has openable portholes and an ensuite bathroom with marble detailing. Across the hall, the starboard-side double cabin features an en-suite, ample storage, and a TV. The forward VIP cabin is spacious, with plenty of storage, en-suite marble detailing, and openable portholes. Crew accommodations are well-designed and fully air-conditioned, located aft with access from the starboard walkway or the stern.
VIXEN’s aft deck is fully teak-clad and features an eight-person dining table, a bar area with a fridge, ice maker, and sink, and a U-shaped seating area with a teak table. There’s a third control station on the port side, and electric capstans and rope organizers for easy docking. The hi-lo swim platform has new hydraulic cylinders, and the 600kg crane ensures smooth launch and retrieval of tenders or jet skis.
The flybridge is spacious and versatile, with a teak deck, full bar with a marble countertop, bar stools, fridge, ice maker, and grill. An eight-person U-shaped seating area with rattan chairs surrounds a teak dining table, while a forward coffee nook and flybridge control station complete the setup. A hardtop with an openable sunroof provides shade, and a large sunbathing area is positioned to port.
The foredeck, accessible via both port and starboard walkways, features a sunbathing area with an electrically powered Bimini for shade. Just behind, a seating area for four includes a hidden teak coffee table.
VIXEN delivers solid performance, reaching a top speed of 27 knots and cruising comfortably at 24 knots. She performs well at both planing and displacement speeds, offering smooth cruising at 12 knots when needed. With her rare hardtop configuration, upgraded systems, and meticulous maintenance, she’s a standout in the Princess 85 range.
