Hardy Commodore 42

Boat Description

The Hardy Commodore flybridge features twin Yanmar 440HP 6YL2-STE 6 cylinder diesel engines on shaft drive, complemented by bow and stern thrusters. This vessel represents a fantastic opportunity to acquire a versatile cruising boat. The Hardy 42 is ideal for those seeking a safe, sea-capable cruising experience with excellent accommodation and speed to return home efficiently. It offers 5 berths across 3 cabins: the master aft cabin includes an en-suite and a double island bed, a single cabin is located on the port side forward, and the forward bow cabin contains two single berths. The saloon provides ample seating with a 360-degree view and a drop-down to the galley on the starboard side. Recent extensive works have been completed, detailed on the website, along with a full deep clean inside and out, and a cut and polish to the topsides and superstructure in June.
