About the Oceanis 42

The 40-foot monohull is the most requested size in the Croatian charter market — large enough for families and groups of up to 8, comfortable enough for multi-week holidays, and priced in the sweet spot where weekly rates and operating costs deliver optimal returns.

The Oceanis 42 is Beneteau's answer to every charter operator's wish list: a 3 or 4 cabin layout, generous cockpit space for al fresco dining, proven reliability, and a hull form that delivers comfortable passages even when the Adriatic's afternoon bora picks up.

  • 3 or 4-cabin layouts adaptable to charter groups or owner comfort
  • Twin helm stations and drop-down transom on a generous cockpit
  • Yanmar 40 hp with 180 L fuel — confident performance under power
  • 72 m² sail area on Marc Lombard’s proven hull form
  • CE Category A ocean certification
