Owner Experience Review
Magazines and brokers consistently note the 42'fromPIRELLIas equally at home as a stand-alone dayboat or a superyacht tender. The walkaround deck focuses on social comfort: a large bow sunbed, a wet-bar with fridge, sink, and grill, plus an aft entertainment area. With a 13'6" beam, the ergonomics feel notably roomy, and practical safety touches like low grab rails and fold-down boarding steps support charter use and guest transfers when seating a crowd.
On the water, the Mannerfelt-designed, race-bred hull delivers the poise owners expect: stable at high speed, predictable “on-rails” turning, and a notably dry ride as the tubes step clear at pace. Reviewers report comfortable cruising in roughly the 30–50‑knot band depending on engine package, with quick acceleration and sharp, race-car-like feedback. Top-end performance varies by installation, from about 43–45 knots in twin inboard trials to claimed 53–63+ knots with triple 450R outboards.
Helm ergonomics are dialed-in for long days: triple-bolstered seats, twin Simrad displays, joystick control, and clear forward sightlines beneath the integrated hardtop. Below, the dinette converts to a 6'8" berth with a separate head and about 6' headroom—comfortable for weekends but limited for extended liveaboard. Ownership expectations align with high-power outboard RIBs (regular attention to lower units, rigging, and electronic controls). There’s an aft machinery area for systems access, and no widespread, repeated design failures were noted in public sources; that said, owner-forum chatter is limited given the model’s relatively new, low-production status. A few testers suggested adding power to fully exploit the hull, so prospective buyers should match propulsion to their use case.

- Interior is weekend-capable only, with about 6' headroom and a convertible berth.
