Description

Design and Reputation

The Hardy 42 Commodore is widely regarded as the serious cruiser’s choice. Designed for owners who value seaworthiness and dependable handling, she has earned a reputation as one of the most capable offshore motor yachts in her class.

Engines and Handling

This example is powered by the sought after MAN 450hp common-rail diesel engines, delivering strong, reliable performance. Close-quarters handling is supported by hydraulic bow and stern thrusters, along with a hydraulic windlass, making manoeuvring straightforward and controlled.

Systems and Equipment

She is exceptionally well equipped, with a full Raymarine electronics installation from 2020, diesel cabin heating, and new exterior upholstery, among many other upgrades. As a result, she presents as a turnkey motor boating package, ready to be enjoyed for the 2026 season.
