With the Oceanis 42, we are opening up a new chapter in the strategic 40-foot segment. As the successor of the Oceanis 40.1, this model represents a more refined and customisable generation, with a choice of five layout options.
The Oceanis 42 is opening a new chapter.
The synthesis of our French craftsmanship.
Naval Architect: Marc Lombard Yacht Design
Exterior & Interior Designer: NAUTA DESIGN
Exterior Design
The Nauta design firm has designed the proportions and circulation to create a true outdoor living space that is both structured and fluid.
At the aft, two configurations transform life on board:
In its open configuration, the platform becomes a natural extension of the cockpit. The sea is invited on board.
In the closed configuration, the aft seats create a more secure area that enables you to welcome more guests. This layout creates a new living space in the cockpit - especially while cruising - thanks to its additional seating close to the helmsman.
A convivial place at anchor. Makes navigation safer.
The helm stations benefit from the advanced features introduced on the Oceanis 47 and Oceanis 52: Integrated seats and backrests, ergonomic consoles incorporating all the controls, and a motor throttle integrated in the console. Every manoeuvre becomes intuitive; every setting becomes instinctive.
Interior Design
Natural light attracts the eye. Generous volumes. The atmosphere is elegant, contemporary, and sophisticated.
The interior upholstery is Premium, with three distinct styles: Ivory, sober and classic; Sunset, very cozy; Pacific, refreshing and timeless.
Always driven by attention to detail, the sand-coloured oak finishes add a touch of warmth and modernity. The 2-mm-thick wood edges enhance the feeling of quality and sophistication to the touch. Every detail has been carefully crafted in order to create a sophisticated and timeless atmosphere.
The saloon is spacious, bright, and designed for welcoming guests. Facing it, a full-size desk structures the owner's area. We have also incorporated a bookshelf on the mast foot bulkhead, as well as a cabinet at the base of the companionway containing all of the boat’s electrical controls. This ensures clear and efficient organisation of the onboard systems.
The Oceanis 42 is designed for a comfortable lifestyle on board.
Design
The Oceanis 42 redefines the modern 40-foot yacht and establishes herself as the benchmark: safe, convivial and smart.
40 Years of French-Made Icons
To mark its 40th anniversary, the Oceanis range reaffirms its commitment to French expertise, that has shaped its identity since the creation of the brand. This new model is a continuation of that commitment, driven by the know-how of our teams and by French workforce manufacturing. Forty years after the launch of the first Oceanis, most of the range is still manufactured in France. This reflects our enduring commitment to French industrial expertise and boat construction.
A connected boat
The mobile application, Seanapps, and its onboard unit lets you view the status of the boat's various systems (battery charge, fuel or water tank levels, maintenance scheduling) via your smartphone, as well as planning your route or reviewing your sailing status using your mobile phone.
