Owner Experience Review

Owners and operators characterize the D42 OpenfromDE ANTONIO YACHTSas a nimble, quick dayboat that responds effectively to the helm and stays under control. In tight marinas, manoeuvring rarely needs thruster assistance, and at sea the deep-V, stepped hull remains stable in moderate chop. Reports note planing around 3,000–4,000 rpm, a comfortable cruise near 28 knots, and test top speeds in the 42–49-knot range depending on engine fit.

The walk-around deck is organized into three clear zones — a modular U-shaped cockpit around an exterior galley, the helm area, and a forward lounge — which reviewers find practical for coastal day cruising and entertaining. Large fore and aft sunpads, convertible seating, and ample storage, including a vertical tender garage and a large hydraulic swim platform, make watersports and tender support straightforward. Below, a two-cabin/one-head layout with light-wood finishes and good natural light is described as usable for family weekend or overnight cruising, with headroom reasonable for the class.

For upkeep, triple outboards are concealed beneath the cockpit sunbed/platform, with service access via a hatch or the hydraulic platform; dealer materials present the engines as fully serviceable and removable, preserving the outboard advantages over inboards. Charter feedback commonly praises service and comfort, and published sea trials focus on performance and layout without calling out systemic mechanical failures in test boats.

Pros and Cons

• Nimble, responsive handling; the deep-V/stepped hull stays composed in moderate chop.
• Strong performance envelope: planes around 3,000–4,000 rpm, cruises near 28 knots, with tests reporting 42–49-knot top speeds depending on engines.
• Smart deck and storage solutions with a walk-around layout, modular seating, exterior galley, large sunpads, a vertical tender garage, and a large hydraulic swim platform.
• Interior headroom is only reasonable for the class, so below-decks volume feels modest.
• Service access to the concealed triple outboards requires opening the hatch or hydraulic swim platform.
• Public test reports emphasize performance and layout, with limited long-term reliability data highlighted.
