Owner Experience Review

Built by Azimut Yachts, the42 Flybridgeshows up in owners’ logs as a versatile platform for day-charter work and two-couple weekends. The standard two-cabin, two-head layout with a sociable saloon and galley-down arrangement suits family cruising, while the spacious flybridge seating and sunpads make short social trips easy. Interiors reflect late-90s styling (high-gloss cherry with light headlining). Original helm benches are often replaced with adjustable seats by owners seeking better ergonomics. Dedicated lazarette space is limited, but many use the cockpit hatch to the engine-room void for bulky gear.

On the water, owners describe a solid, very seakindly boat that is predictable, if not the sharpest handling among flybridges. A comfortable cruise sits around 20 knots at roughly 2,000 rpm, with reported top speeds in the 30–33 knot range depending on engines and condition. Several report that it runs quickly and confidently into head seas and copes well with moderate conditions. Typical power is Caterpillar 3126-series; owners flag known watchpoints such as early soft-block variants and the need to inspect and clean aftercoolers every 2–3 years. Age and complexity bring other considerations: circular electric windows often fail, some boats show gelcoat crazing or blistering (osmosis checks advised), helm wiring can be messy, and while cockpit-hatch access is generous, outboard engine sides can be tight for major work. Reported production years vary by source, commonly 1998–2005 with outliers from the mid-1990s to 2007.

Pros and Cons

• Very good seakeeping and predictable ride; comfortable ~20-knot cruise at ~2,000 rpm.
• Spacious flybridge with generous seating and sunpads suits day-charter and social weekends.
• Practical 2-cabin/2-head layout works well for two couples and family cruising.
• Handling is not the sharpest among flybridges, per multiple owner reports.
• Known maintenance watchpoints: Caterpillar 3126 aftercoolers need regular service and early soft block variants require scrutiny.
• Age-related and nuisance issues include failing circular electric windows, limited dedicated lazarette, and potential gelcoat crazing or blistering.
