1982 Ocean Yachts 42 Sun-liner Motor Yacht

Step aboard and you’ll notice how bright and open this 42 feels for a classic aft cabin. Large salon windows and thoughtful lighting give you all-day livability, whether you’re on the hook or tucked into a slip. The Sun-liner’s signature extended hardtop and enclosed aft deck create a true second salon, perfect for evening cocktails out of the wind. Below, the two-cabin, two-head layout offers real privacy for guests, with generous headroom that doesn’t leave taller crew hunched over. Wide side decks, substantial bow rail, and a solid ladder to the bridge make line handling and anchoring feel secure, even shorthanded. It’s a comfortable, grown-up cruiser with the bones of a serious yacht.

This 42 Sun-liner is particularly well suited to local waters where you’ll see a mix of open stretches, choppy afternoons, and tight marina fairways. The semi-displacement hull delivers a reassuring, predictable ride at cruising speeds, yet will throttle back economically for long, scenic passages. Twin diesels and a proper keel give you tracking and control in crosswinds and current, while the raised aft deck and flybridge offer outstanding visibility for docking in crowded basins. With a shallow enough draft to explore back bays and rivers, plus ample tankage and storage, it’s a smart choice for anyone who wants to weekend aboard, entertain dockside, and still have the range for longer seasonal cruises.
