42ft Catamaran Models Comparisons

We compare the specifications, dimensions, sail area, and pricing on the most popular 42ft catamarans in 2020. The Lagoon 42 , Bali 4.2 , FP Astrea 42 , and Leopard 42 are within a similar price range and dimensions, but there are major differences. Let’s compare apples to apples to see how the match up.

Compare 42ft Catamaran Interior Features

  • The Bali 4.2 has all the popular and successful trademarks expected of the Bali catamaran range. It has the huge open platform which provides a convertible indoor/outdoor living space using tilting “garage door” that lifts up into the ceiling. The convertible door is a unique feature on the Bali. When open, it look like a much bigger catamaran. The Bali 4.2 also features a door in the front of the salon that opens up onto the expansive forward cockpit. With the 4.2 Bali has adopted the newer trend of “Jack & Jill” bathrooms in the 4-cabin version which creates more space in the cabins. The big American-style refrigerator is another popular feature especially for families and liveaboards.
  • The Lagoon 42 is one of the most popular models for cruising couples. She is a beefy and a very comfortable liveaboard catamaran with an oversized cockpit. The mast is centered in the salon which could be a deal breaker for some, but considering how many L42s we have sold, it does not seem to bother the people who own and adore them. The galley lacks storage, but there is space available to add cabinets and baskets. The cabins are ample with island beds and plenty of storage, particularly the owner’s cabin. It features the “Jack & Jill” bathrooms in the 4-cabin version, a great use of space.
  • The Leopard 42 features all the popular and successful trademarks of the hugely successful Leopard 50. Like its big sister, it features the opening door to an intimate forward cockpit. The semi-raised helm station and “upper lounge area” is a very well done and a great feature for cruisers. It is luxuriously finished and all bunks are island berths that allow access from both sides. The forward-facing galley is well-designed.
  • The Fountaine Pajot Astréa 42 is plush and comfortable catamaran with a well-appointed galley and sliding doors that open the salon up to the very big cockpit. The cabins are a nicely sized and spacious with island beds.

What are your thoughts?

The Bali 4.2 and Leopard 42 models are brand new and not actually built yet while the Lagoon 42 and FP Astrea 42 models have been around for a few years now and both are very popular models for cruising couples. So how will the two newbies stack up?

' data-src=

I have two specs that I would like to see on all four of these. The first is holding tank capacity. I find the holding tank capacity on most boats insufficient for live aboards. The other is air draft. The 42 foot and below range are ones that in the Southern US we have bridge anxiety. I would like to know if any of these have an ICW friendly mast option and what the height is.

' data-src=

Jay thank you for the comments! They are all good questions. We will have a good spec sheet and hopefully all the answers you may have during our Zoom Bali discussion on August 27th. Join our newsletter to receive a notice about the Zoom discussion in your mailbox.

' data-src=

Thanks for the comparison chart… It’s a great start!

In addition to Jay’s request… I would like to see some sort of price/performance/construction comparison too.

I’ve been a mono-hull sailor and live-aboard all of my life, but really am a novice with catamarans. I’m fairly familiar with the Leopard 44, having chartered them several times and really like them. I’m anxious to find out about what else is out there so I can make the best decision possible for my next boat. I’m really interested in a cat because I feel like I can sail a catamaran further into my later years then a mono hull.

Ron, I suggest you join the Bali Discussion if you can on the 27th of August [2020] on Zoom. Many of these questions will be answered during that discussion. As regards to your question about “price/performance/construction comparison” – I am not too sure what you want to know. I have added base prices in the comparison charts for all the models. The weight vs sail area (power) has some impact of course but for hulls of similar water length and hull shapes as these models have, performance for all four models will be similar, give or take a knot or so.

The Brilliant Aquila 42 Yacht – Power Catamaran

Aqu 20849 42 Yacht Model Launch Og

Aquila’s 42-foot yacht is beyond versatile.

By: Captain Christopher Kourtakis

041 Aquila41 V2 12r 1600x733 1 42

The aft cockpit deck is a great social area and the perfect spot for entertainment. One thing that I really like for parents or grandparents with young children is that you can easily see the rear swim platform and have easy access from either side of the cockpit.

There is a six-person couch to the aft with a large table forward and two permanently mounted bar stools to the forward port that are directly in front of the window that opens into the cabin area. If you want to add a couple additional chairs next to the table, there is ample room for an additional three to four guests.

Entering the salon, you cannot help but be in awe of the spacious and well-designed galley to the port side. The large freezer and refrigerator are immediately across to the starboard. Built into the galley area is a microwave, cooktop and yes, an oven. There is also a large counter space for food prep and plenty of storage for supplies and cooking devices such as pots and pans.

Forward on the starboard side of the salon is the U-shaped dinette that can be converted into additional sleeping quarters. Just forward of the seating is a navigational station with VHF radios, the stereo and Sea Zone controls. The TV folds down from the ceiling with its unique design. The panoramic windows provide you with 360° views of the water and outside surroundings.

Below, you will find the owner’s cabin to the port side. Midship is the utilities cabin with a single bunk, optional washer/dryer combo and an abundance of storage. There is even a wine cooler installed to give it that extra touch of class. The guest suite is on the starboard side. You can opt for a three cabin with three heads or a four cabin layout if you prefer.

The bridge on this 42 can be accessed from the bridge to bow stairs or from the rear cockpit area. The space is large and perfect for entertaining. Centre of the bridge is the large outdoor cooking area with sink and electric grill.

To the aft of the large L-shaped dinette with a custom designed table that offers a fill in leaf to create one large table or two smaller tables to provide easy in and out access to the bench seating.   The helm is just forward of the entertainment centre and offers a double wide bench for the captain and guest.  

There is nothing left to the imagination on this boat.   Aquila has thought about everything, and you will not be disappointed on this spectacular 42.

Aquila 42

Aquila Power Catamarans hosted the world premiere of its 42 Yacht at the Miami International Boat Show in mid-February.

The Aquila 42 Yacht has multiple layouts and is a perfect option for someone looking for a pocket cruiser ; in the standard configuration, there are two staterooms and a utility cabin. Three- and four-stateroom versions are also available.

Owners also have a choice of engines from Volvo Penta. Aquila says the 42 Yacht is designed for cruising as well as entertaining. There are three outdoor spaces to get the party started.

“Our international Aquila team worked with the famous French VPLP designers to bring this amazing power catamaran to the market, using computational fluid dynamics and finite element analysis to enhance the performance and comfort at sea,” Lex Raas, president of Aquila Power Catamarans, stated in a press release. “As well as partnering with European Chedal Anglay for a modern interior design, incorporating our Aquila Yachts DNA of bulbs, walkway from the flybridge, opening aft bar, patented dinghy crane, patented swim ladder, largest panoramic cabin windows in class and our standard CE Category A certification, all culminating in a 42-foot power catamaran unrivaled in the world.”

What other models did Aquila have on display at Miami? The 28 Molokai, 32 Sport, 36 Sport, 44 Yacht and 54 Yacht.

Sunreef founder Francis Lapp got the idea for his newest catamaran on a recent expedition with South African adventurer Mike Horn.

Sunreef Explorer Eco 40m

Christened simply Explorer Eco 40m , the newcomer showcases two sharp bows that slice through incoming waves for smoother, more efficient cruising and two sleek hulls that move through the water with less drag than the average monohull. In addition, the cat has an ultra-light composite body. As such, the multihull requires much less energy for cruising than a conventional yacht.

Speaking of energy, the vessel is powered by twin 540 kW motors that give it a maximum speed of 14 knots and a cruising speed of 10 knots. Sunreef adds that the cat has “transatlantic capability” but didn’t provide an exact range. The hull and superstructure are also covered in Sunreef’s proprietary “solar skin.” The system, which includes hundreds of square feet of solar panels, reportedly generates enough power to run every system on board.

“We are the only superyacht builder to have successfully developed the idea of embedding solar cells into large-scale fiberglass structures,” adds Lapp.

Further toward the stern, a huge swim platform pulls triple duty as a beach club, a launchpad for watersports, and a dive store. The platform is also fitted with huge fold-down wings that create extra real estate around the corners of the boat. At the opposite end, the foredeck lounge provides guests with incredible ocean views.

As for accommodation, the cat can sleep up to 10 guests and seven crew. The main deck is home to four generous guest cabins, while the upper deck is devoted primarily to the owner. The full-beam owner’s suite sports a super king-size bed, a giant walk-in dressing room, a scenic lounge, and a private terrace.

Sunreef says the build time for the Explorer Eco 40m will be approximately three years. Construction will be carried out at either the Gdansk shipyard in Poland or the new Ras Al Khaimah facility in the United Arab Emirates. That’s your big-ticket purchase for 2027 sorted, then.
