42 Cantius – wow

Sept 28, 2017

Renderings so far – the boat is still being built. 

Cruisers Yachts debuts the all-new 42 Cantius. The sporty, luxury cruiser will make its first public appearance at the 2017 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show taking place November 1-5.

The 42 Cantius continues the exceptional layout and sleek exterior lines first introduced on the 60 Cantius in 2015. The standout feature of the 42 Cantius is a sliding, stainless steel glass door that opens fully to reveal a free-flowing entertainment space that extends from the cockpit to the helm.

Stepping aboard the swim platform on the 42 Cantius, boaters will find a single entry to the cockpit on the port side. The cockpit features a relaxed entertaining space with large L-shaped seating on the starboard with convertible cocktail to dinette table. A grill on the swim platform and a wet bar allows you to entertain in style.

Stepping into the climate controlled galley and upper salon, you will find on the portside an aft galley. On the starboard side is salon seating that continues forward from the cockpit, perfect for dining and entertaining. And lounge seating near the helm keeps conversation close by. Above, an operable sunroof invites sunlight and sea breezes inside. The stylish interior boasts fine craftsmanship and can be accented with charcoal oak or walnut cabinetry.
