About the Princess 36 Allied

A capable and sturdy cruising sailboat, the Princess 36 by Allied Boat Works carries with it the reputation that made Allied a respected name in American sailboat manufacturing during the 1960s and 1970s. Allied was known for producing solidly built fiberglass vessels designed with serious bluewater capability in mind, and the Princess 36 fits comfortably within that tradition. Aimed at sailors who prioritize dependability and seakeeping over flashy performance, this boat is well suited for coastal cruising and extended offshore passages. Allied's construction philosophy leaned toward conservative, seaworthy designs that could handle a range of conditions without asking too much of their crews, making the Princess 36 an appealing option for experienced cruisers and liveaboards alike. While detailed specifications can be difficult to come by, the Princess 36's lineage suggests a well-balanced hull with comfortable accommodations for extended time on the water. Buyers researching this model should seek out existing owners and class communities, as these boats often have loyal followings that can provide valuable firsthand insight into long-term ownership, maintenance considerations, and the overall character of the vessel.

About this estimate
  • Prices are based on recent asking prices from public listings — not actual sale prices, which are typically lower.
  • Condition is not factored in. A well-maintained boat with new sails and engine can be worth significantly more than a project boat of the same model.
  • Location affects price. Boats in landlocked states or areas with fewer buyers often sell for less than those on the coast.
  • Year of manufacture is not filtered. Older examples of this model will generally be priced lower than newer ones.
  • Included equipment varies widely. A boat with a full suite of electronics, dodger, and new standing rigging may command a large premium.
  • Outliers are automatically excluded using statistical filtering to improve accuracy, but some bad data may remain.
