Made for the way you actually spend a day at sea
The Sport Tender 42 is a day boat for full days, made for the kind of day where the boat is the destination. A morning swim. Lunch in the cockpit at anchor. Friends arriving by tender for an afternoon. A long cruise back as the light shifts. The design exists for that day.
What makes for the best days on the water?
Throughout the design process, one question guided every decision: what makes for the best days on the water with the people you want to spend them with?
The answers were specific. Big, flexible socialising spaces. Plenty of room to move around. Sun protection that covers a real part of the boat. Several places to lie back and lounge or sunbathe. Refrigeration sized for actual food and drink, not a token nod to provisioning. A proper outdoor galley with a barbecue.
A swim platform with room for several people at once. An aft stowage area generous enough for the gear and the toys, opened with a hydraulic mechanism so it stays accessible whatever you have on board. Every element on the Sport Tender 42 traces back to one of those answers. The boat is what those answers built.
Walk-around design that treats movement as a feature
The Sport Tender 42 is built around how people actually move on a boat. Wide passageways. Treading surfaces sized for two people walking past each other. Aft deck, foredeck, side decks: all dimensioned for movement, all linked.
The walk-around is a design discipline. Furniture sized for use. Decks sized for movement. Transitions sized for ease. The result is a deck plan that opens up the moment you step on board and stays open as the day shifts from cruising to swimming to lunch and back.
A social heart that adapts to how the day unfolds
The aft deck is the social heart of the Sport Tender 42, and most days on the boat happen here. The space is designed around how people actually spend time on the water, in every weather and at every speed.
