Rhein 42SE (powerboat) for sale

Remarks :
Savarna is a 2009 Rhein 42SE — a well-proportioned and practical displacement motor boat built in China by Fuzhou Blue Bay Yacht Co., Ltd. to CE Category B (offshore) standards, and offering a compelling combination of long-range capability, substantial accommodation, and a comprehensive specification. She is offered for sale in good overall condition, currently berthed at Lefkas, Greece, and ready for the coming season.

The Rhein 42SE is a displacement hull design that rewards the buyer who values economy, range, and interior volume over outright speed. Powered by a single Volvo D4-260L developing 260hp, she returns approximately 5 litres per hour at 5 knots — a fuel burn that makes extended coastal passages genuinely affordable. Her interior is finished in warm mahogany veneer throughout, and the two-cabin layout with twin en-suite heads offers a quality of accommodation that belies the vessel's size.

Savarna wasused as a show vessel for the first years of her life. She was then taken on an extended voyage through the rivers and canals of Europe before reaching the Mediterranean, visiting Turkey, Italy, and Greece. She now has approximately 1,000 hours on the engine and has been maintained on an ongoing basis throughout.

BROKER'S REMARKS
Savarna is the kind of motor boat that appeals to a buyer who has thought carefully about how they want to use a vessel. The displacement hull and efficient Volvo diesel make genuine long-range cruising a realistic proposition — at 5 litres per hour, the 1,590-litre fuel tank provides a theoretical range of well over 1,000 nautical miles, and in practice this is a motor boat that can be taken almost anywhere without the anxiety of fuel costs that comes with a planing hull.

The interior reflects the same priorities. Two proper cabins, both with en-suite heads and showers, create a layout that works equally well for a couple living aboard or for sharing with guests over an extended passage. The mahogany fit-out is warm and well-executed, and the large saloon with its separate dining area gives a sense of space that is rare on a motor boat of 12.73 metres.

The electrical system is notably well-specified: a substantial house battery bank of 920Ah total capacity, 400W of solar, a large Mastervolt inverter/charger, and separate batteries for bow thruster, stern thruster, windlass, and VHF all point to an owner who has thought seriously about self-sufficiency and reliability. The addition of a 4G/WiFi router and a washing machine completes a specification that suits extended liveaboard use as much as seasonal cruising.

Accommodation :

ACCOMMODATION
Savarna offers generous accommodation for up to six across two cabins and the saloon. The interior is finished throughout in warm mahogany veneer — a quality of fit-out more commonly associated with bespoke yards than production builders — and creates an environment that suits both extended liveaboard use and coastal cruising in comfort. LED lighting is fitted throughout.
LAYOUT
The layout comprises two double cabins, each with its own en-suite heads and shower. The saloon provides additional sleeping for two via conversion, giving a total of six berths. A well-proportioned dining area and seating arrangement make the saloon equally comfortable as a living space. The galley is positioned to serve both the saloon and the helm area.
DOMESTIC
The galley is equipped with a 3-burner gas hob, a Vitrifrigo DP2600 12V/220V refrigerator-freezer, a deep-freeze unit, an inverter microwave with hot air and grill, and a stainless steel sink with pressurised water. Domestic hot water is supplied via the engine calorifier and shore power immersion heater (40-litre tank). A 220V washing machine (Aqua) is installed. Both heads compartments are fitted with electric flush toilets switchable between fresh water and sea water. Two Webasto diesel heaters serve the saloon and aft cabin. A 3-stage water filtration system is fitted. Entertainment is provided by a Sony stereo system with four saloon speakers and two cockpit speakers, and a Sharp television.

HISTORY
Savarna was built in 2009 by Fuzhou Blue Bay Yacht Co., Ltd. in Fujian, China, and launched in 2010 as a Rhein 42SE — a displacement motor boat certified to CE Category B (offshore) under the European Recreational Craft Directive, with stability and buoyancy certification carried out by Istituto Giordano. She was used as a show vessel from new and accumulated only approximately 60 hours before being purchased by her current owners in 2014.
Her previous owners undertook an extended European passage, transiting the rivers and canals of Europe before reaching the Mediterranean and visiting Turkey, Italy, and Greece. She is now based in Lefkas. Works carried out under current ownership include a new stern gland (2020) and ongoing maintenance. The engine now has approximately 1,000 hours.
