Sessa Marine C42
About this yacht
The Sessa Marine C42 represents a decade of refinement in the crossover cruiser segment. Built between 2007 and 2018, this 13.10-meter hardtop motor yacht evolved from Sessa's pioneering Oyster 42, incorporating lessons learned from global markets across the Mediterranean, Asia, and the Americas. This powerboat delivers genuine versatility. The enclosed hardtop design with electric sliding sunroof provides year-round cruising capability, while the spacious cockpit with L-shaped seating and integrated swim platform creates an ideal setup for coastal entertaining. With accommodation for up to 8 guests across 2 well-appointed cabins, the C42 strikes a practical balance between day cruising and extended coastal voyaging. The layout flows naturally from stern to bow. The cockpit's generous seating area conceals practical storage and liferaft housing, while the protected helm station features comprehensive Volvo Penta digital instrumentation and joystick control. The salon offers an L-shaped sofa with telescopic dining table, flanked by thoughtful storage solutions and panoramic glazing with venetian blinds. Below deck, the forward master cabin provides a private sanctuary with direct ensuite access, overhead hatch, and integrated porthole windows. The guest cabin features twin berths, while a second head with shower serves both guests and day visitors. The well-equipped galley includes a two-burner cooktop, 120-liter refrigerator, 30-liter freezer, and washing machine provision. Performance comes from twin Volvo Penta engines delivering up to 36 knots, managed through electronic controls and hydraulic trim tabs. The fiberglass hull carries CE Category B certification for offshore passages up to 200 nautical miles, backed by practical systems including a 700-liter fuel capacity, 350-liter freshwater system with electric boiler, and comprehensive electrical setup with dedicated battery banks. With its 0.82-meter draft, bow thruster, and electric anchor windlass, the Sessa C42 handles equally well in marina berths and secluded anchorages. This is a proven cruiser that combines Mediterranean styling with the practical demands of serious coastal exploration.
