In the world of modern luxury motor yachts, few models manage to combine innovative engineering, elegant styling, and exceptional performance as successfully as the De Antonio D42. Designed by the award-winning Spanish shipyard De Antonio Yachts, this 42-foot sport cruiser has become one of the most sought-after models in its class.

This month, we are proud to name the De Antonio D42 our Yacht of the Month.


A New Standard in Luxury Day Cruising

The De Antonio D42 was created for yacht owners who refuse to compromise between performance, comfort, and design. With its sleek profile, spacious deck layout, and advanced technology, the yacht delivers an experience typically found on much larger vessels.

Whether cruising along the Mediterranean coastline, entertaining guests in a marina, or enjoying a weekend getaway at sea, the D42 offers versatility that appeals to both experienced yacht owners and newcomers to the yachting lifestyle.

Innovative Hidden Outboard Technology

One of the most distinctive features of the De Antonio D42 is its revolutionary hidden outboard engine configuration.

Unlike traditional outboard-powered yachts, the engines are cleverly concealed beneath the aft sunbathing platform. This innovative solution creates a cleaner aesthetic, reduces noise levels, improves onboard safety, and maximizes usable deck space.

The result is a yacht that combines the efficiency and performance of outboard propulsion with the elegant appearance of an inboard-powered luxury yacht.


Spacious Exterior Designed for Entertaining

The D42 has been designed with socializing and relaxation in mind.

The expansive bow lounge area provides comfortable seating and generous sunbathing space, while the aft cockpit offers a large dining area perfect for entertaining family and friends. The integrated wet bar and outdoor galley make onboard dining effortless, transforming every cruise into a premium lifestyle experience.

Large walkaround decks ensure easy movement throughout the yacht, while multiple lounging zones allow guests to enjoy privacy and comfort.


Premium Interior Comfort

Below deck, the De Antonio D42 continues to impress.

The interior has been carefully designed to maximize both functionality and comfort. High-quality materials, contemporary finishes, and abundant natural light create an atmosphere that feels sophisticated and inviting.

The yacht offers comfortable accommodation for overnight stays, making it an ideal choice for weekend cruising. A spacious bathroom, practical storage solutions, and thoughtfully designed living spaces ensure every journey remains comfortable and enjoyable.


Performance That Matches Its Looks

A yacht this striking must also deliver on performance—and the D42 certainly does.

Available with several Mercury Verado outboard configurations, the yacht can achieve impressive speeds while maintaining excellent stability and fuel efficiency. The advanced hull design provides responsive handling, smooth cruising, and confidence in a variety of sea conditions.

Whether you're exploring hidden coves, island hopping, or simply enjoying a fast coastal cruise, the De Antonio D42 offers an exhilarating experience behind the helm.
