Atlantic 42 (powerboat) for sale

The Atlantic 42 is a highly capable and exceptionally well-designed motor yacht, built for confident cruising both at sea and on inland waterways.

Designed by John Bennett and built in 2000, she combines a strong offshore hull form with a balanced centre of gravity, giving her excellent stability, smooth performance, and reassuring handling in a wide range of conditions. Her design is especially suited to owners who want a boat that can cruise comfortably at speed while still remaining easy to manoeuvre in harbour and practical for mixed cruising use.
A major feature of the Atlantic 42 is her versatility. With a long keel, shaft drive, trim tabs, bow thruster, and equipment arch that drops back to reduce air draft, she is very well suited to both coastal passages and inland cruising. She has recently been launched after antifouling and is afloat at Malahide, just a short distance from Dublin Airport, making viewing straightforward by appointment. The boat is EU VAT paid, which is an important advantage for a buyer looking for a properly documented vessel with immediate cruising potential.
