Jeanneau's Prestige 42, This Motor Yacht has twin staterooms – and cruising comfort in fair weather and foul. Predictably, there were stylish European lines with designer bumps and curves on the high-volume Prestige 42. The distinctly Euro-inspired interior with avant-garde styling is the work of a design house. Two things stand out about the layout: the huge interior volume and lofty head room, and the indoor and outdoor helms turn the Prestige 42 into a genuine all-season, all-weather cruiser.
AL FRESCO
The outdoor entertaining and lounging areas make the Prestige 42 rather tempting. You can’t ignore the huge extended boarding platform, which adds considerably to the waterfront real estate, with customary swim ladder, grabrails, big aft cleats and hot/cold shower. There’s room to plonk a deck chair here and fish, or just watch the world drift by.
The cockpit is similarly generous, with room for a lunch setting for four to six, an icemaker nearby for cocktail hour, teak flooring and a built-in aft lounge for three. There are moulded steps to the safe walkaround decks leading forward, a windlass with remotes on deck and at the helms, and room in a moulded recess to plonk towels, drinks, and kick back.
Moulded stairs lead to the fair-weather flybridge, where the foul-weather comfort could be improved with the addition of a decent bimini top. Once up top, guests can kick back on the big aft sunpad that continues into a sunlounge. If used as seats – the seating is low-slung – that lounge can take four people around the small lunch/drinks table, alongside the twin helm seats. An optional drawer fridge improves the amenity, while storage exists under the seats.
The tested Prestige 42 had Raymarine electronics including an E120 and autopilot, plus marine radios, at both stations. As such, it would make a decent passagemaker.
INDOOR LIVING
The bi-slide door back into the saloon lets you integrate the indoor and outdoor areas, assisting with serving food and entertaining in general. Besides the optional cherrywood flooring, there was cherrywood joinery and cream leather upholstery for a timeless Euro look.
The main breaker panel is near the doorway, alongside a two-person club lounge to port, which can be relocated before the dinette opposite for a dinner setting for six. The dinette also converts to a daybed or impromptu double for the kids. LCD TV/DVD that can be easily viewed from the lounge/bed. Think Sunday sports and cosy winter days cocooned indoors.
Abundant glass and natural light add to the cheery atmosphere and there are opening saloon windows forward for natural ventilation when at anchor. The internal helm station with two-person bench seat, slightly raised from saloon seating level before the wraparound windscreen with wipers, makes for plenty of social discourse while underway.
Though it is set down to port, the galley is separated only by a glass servery from the saloon. There was a small domestic-sized fridge and freezer, ice maker white Corian counters, twin sinks, and a two-burner cooktop. The microwave was a tiny token thing, but the storage for appliances, pots and pantry items.
FLOATING FAMILY HOME
The two-cabin, two-head layout turns the Prestige 42 into the perfect family or two-couple cruiser. The large foyer off the galley, which has a sub-floor area for stowing provisions, leads into the portside guest’s cabin. A utility room off it contains the boat’s plumbing, pumps, hot-water system and engine diagnostics. Manuals, for the Jeanneau.
The guest’s cabin have twin single beds, that it does, but with a simple push and shove the outer bed sidles up with the inner bed and, voila, a double, quick as that.
The master cabin in the bow was graced with a welcoming island double bed flanked by opening ports, trick lights and his and hers hanging lockers. And abundant head room.
Both the owner’s ensuite and the day/guest’s head have a circular booth-type shower screen on tracks, smart bathroom fittings and Jabsco electric toilet.
520lt of water is generous, though the 1200lt of fuel.
STORM FORCE
The new-generation Cummins are compliant, smoke-free, and the installation added to their smooth operation. Jeanneau smooth-riding hull.
Given the 31.2kt top speed at 3060rpm from twin 435hp motors, the relatively light boat is lithe. Proving its eagerness, the Prestige 42 accelerated snappily to 16kts at 1980rpm, and a contented 20kt cruise at 2200 to 2230rpm. Giving a safe cruising range of about 300 nautical miles. Terrific efficiency.
