Remarks :
Lifes 2 Short, a Prestige 36, is a versatile and well-equipped flybridge cruiser that perfectly balances comfort, performance, and practicality. With the largest twin Volvo D6-370 engines, she offers reliable and efficient cruising, while her shaft drive and bow thruster ensure excellent manoeuvrability in a variety of conditions.
The current owner has invested significantly in her upkeep, this includes careful attention to routine maintenance and upgrades which can be evidenced in a host of receipts, making her a great choice for extended cruising or relaxed coastal trips.
Her layout is designed with comfort in mind, featuring a spacious saloon with panoramic windows and an adjacent U-shaped galley fitted with a 3-burner hob, microwave, and twin stainless steel sinks. The owner’s cabin offers a central island double berth with ample storage, while the guest twin cabin provides versatile accommodation with twin berths that can convert into a double. Both cabins are well-ventilated and feature opening portlights for natural light and airflow.
The flybridge is a highlight, offering U-shaped seating with a table, a foldable bimini for shade, and a secondary helm with excellent visibility. Additional features like the recessed bow sun pad, teak-laid cockpit and swim platform, and LED courtesy lighting on the flybridge steps add both style and functionality.
