1991 Jersey 42 Convertible Sportfisherman

Step into the salon and you’ll feel the difference a true custom-style builder makes. The 42 Jersey carries her beam well forward, so you get a wide, open interior with plenty of headroom and a layout that actually works for long weekends, not just day trips. The cockpit is all business: deep, secure, with room for a full crew to work a spread without dancing around each other. High gunwales keep it safe when the bite turns chaotic, and the massive transom area swallows gear, fenders, and cleaning supplies. Up on the bridge, sightlines are outstanding—no guessing where the bow is when easing into a tight slip—and there’s enough seating to keep the skipper in the conversation instead of isolated at the helm.

A Jersey 42 Convertible shines in waters where conditions can swing from calm to snotty in a single tide change. Her sharp entry and solid glass construction give you the confidence to run through steep chop without beating up the crew, while the wide beam adds stability at troll and drift. She’s efficient enough for long runs to distant grounds, yet compact enough to slip into tight marinas or shallow back bays. The big cockpit and secure bridge make her equally comfortable chasing pelagics offshore or working nearshore structure, and the generous interior space turns foul‑weather days into relaxed time on the hook instead of a forced march back to the dock.
