MTU 16V 2000 M94 Propulsion Drives the Award-Winning Princess Kohuba
Entering the Brokerage Market
Securing a heavily upgraded, high-volume hull requires immediate action before major international boat shows. The 35.2-metre Princess motor yacht Kohuba recently entered the brokerage market, listed exclusively by Maël Fiolet of Camper & Nicholsons with an asking price of €8,750,000. Originally delivered in 2017, this specific Princess 35M carries a massive 248 GT, officially ranking it among the largest-volume yachts in its designated size class. The vessel is currently available for scheduled viewings during the upcoming 2026 Cannes Yachting Festival.
The 2026 Zuretti Interior Refit
Maintaining the resale value of a Mediterranean cruiser demands continuous, high-level financial investment. Kohuba recently completed a comprehensive interior refit in 2026, executed directly by the design team at Zuretti. The revised interior architecture relies heavily on premium textiles sourced from Dedar, Loro Piana, Armani Casa, and Larsen. These materials are paired with bespoke joinery and custom upholstery throughout the vessel. The design maintains a strict neutral color palette, relying on rich canaletto walnut, leather, and natural stone to anchor the living spaces.
Maximizing Saloon and Cabin Volume
Structural glass integration defines the main social zones aboard the yacht. Full-height windows wrap the main saloon, flooding the formal dining and generous seating areas with natural light. To further expand this footprint, a hydraulically folding balcony deploys directly from the saloon to extend the living space out over the water. The accommodation layout supports 11 guests across five dedicated cabins. A full-beam master suite dominates the forward main deck, featuring a walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite bathroom equipped with a full bathtub. The 2026 refit aggressively targeted these guest areas, replacing all lower deck soft furnishings, window treatments, and wall finishes. The addition of a custom Pullman berth provides critical flexibility for owners pursuing commercial charter operations.
Tri-Deck Exterior Architecture
Princess Yachts engineered this 35-metre platform to maximize usable exterior square footage across three distinct decks. The main deck aft provides a highly sheltered al fresco dining sector, featuring a table for eight paired directly with a soft banquette. Moving forward, the foredeck offers an unusually massive private social area for a yacht of this length, integrating extensive seating and large sunpads. The flybridge serves as the primary entertainment hub, housing a spa pool, a dedicated bar, and an open dining space. At the waterline, a broad swim platform ensures rapid access for tender boarding and swimming.
MTU Propulsion and Operational History
Heavy displacement requires reliable mechanical output. Kohuba is powered by twin MTU 16V 2000 M94 engines, pushing the hull to a maximum speed of 23 knots. The yacht has operated strictly as a private vessel within the Mediterranean circuit, resulting in exceptionally low hours across both the primary engines and the onboard generators. This limited mechanical wear positions the €8,750,000 build as a highly competitive asset on the current market.
