The Oceanis 42 marks a new generation of cruising yachts, combining Beneteau's renowned French savoir-faire with a more modular, comfortable and elegant design. As the successor to the Oceanis 40.1, it has been created for sailors who want to enjoy extended voyages in complete comfort, offering an exceptional balance of sailing performance, liveability and ease of handling.

Designed by Nauta Design with naval architecture by Marc Lombard Yacht Design, the Oceanis 42 features a modern deck where every space has been carefully considered to enhance life on board. Its balanced proportions and fluid walkways create a true outdoor living area, perfect for both cruising and relaxing at anchor.

At the stern, the Oceanis 42 offers two cockpit configurations to suit different sailing styles. The open version transforms the bathing platform into a natural extension of the cockpit, creating a seamless connection with the sea and providing effortless access to the water. The closed version incorporates comfortable aft seating, increasing safety while underway and creating an additional social area for family and friends.

Inspired by the Oceanis 47 and Oceanis 52, the helm stations feature ergonomic consoles with all controls within easy reach, integrated seating designed for long passages and a layout that makes every manoeuvre more intuitive, comfortable and precise.

The interior of the Oceanis 42 immediately conveys a feeling of light, space and sophistication. Abundant natural light, combined with Sand Oak finishes and Premium upholstery available in the Ivory, Sunset and Pacific ambiences, creates a warm, contemporary and elegant atmosphere.

The saloon has been designed as the heart of life on board, offering a spacious and welcoming area for relaxing, dining or planning the next voyage. Every detail has been carefully considered, from the integrated chart table and smart storage solutions to the neatly organised electrical control panel, creating a practical and refined living space.

One of the Oceanis 42's greatest strengths is its exceptional interior modularity. It is the only yacht in its class to offer five different interior layouts, as well as a choice between an L-shaped galley, ideal for greater stability under sail, or a longitudinal galley with an extended worktop for enhanced comfort on longer cruises.

  • Five interior layouts, unique in the 40-foot cruising yacht segment.
  • Design by Nauta Design and Marc Lombard, combining elegance, comfort and outstanding sailing performance.
  • Seanapps connected technology, allowing you to monitor and manage your yacht directly from your smartphone.
  • Larger sail area, delivering greater performance while maintaining easy handling.

An Impeccable and Professional Buying Experience

Getting to know Hermanos Guasch has been a truly valuable experience. A serious and professional company that makes the complex journey of acquiring a new boat much easier. Their advice and support throughout the entire process greatly helped us make the right decisions. On top of that, the after-sales service has been outstanding.

Key Advice to Get My Oceanis Ready

I bought a second-hand Beneteau Oceanis from a private seller, and it had many issues. I only have words of gratitude for Ángel Bosch for his support in preparing spare parts quotes. He gave me 10/10 assistance via phone and WhatsApp, offering valuable advice on some high-cost repairs.

The importance of human team

Every year we come from Uruguay to enjoy a stretch of the Mediterranean. For 10 years we have trust in Guasch brothers and with their ships we have sailed through different countries: Spain, France, Italy, etc. The most important thing for us is the human team behind, because we know that we will help us any problem we have.
