The Gozzo 42 is the latest model in the Gozzo series from Apreamare. The shipyard from Sorrento developed the boat together with designer Marco Casali from Too Design and naval architect Umberto Tagliavini from Marine Design. The result is a boat that differs significantly from its predecessors on the outside, but retains the basic design.
New design with a sporty character
The shape of the hull, the deckhouse and the windows have been completely redesigned. This gives the boat a more dynamic appearance than previous models in the range. A fixed hardtop characterises the silhouette. An optional glass pane can be installed as a windscreen. The wheelhouse has been given a more ergonomic shape. Air conditioning for the driving position is available on request. The air inlets in the hull have been repositioned to improve ventilation of the engine compartment. An electrically operated door facilitates access to the engine compartment. There is a separate compartment in the stern for mooring equipment. This means that nothing flies around the boat during the journey.
Structure and usable space
The cockpit offers a 200-centimetre-long sunbathing area at the rear. Next to it is a C-shaped sofa that can accommodate up to eight people. There is a second area in the bow with a sunbathing area and sofas facing each other. Both areas can be shaded with awnings that are attached to the T-top and mounted on carbon fibre poles. The wet bar can be customised. There is a choice of two fridges, each with a capacity of 85 litres, an ice maker and either a grill or induction hobs. The bathing platform at the rear measures just under six square metres. It has a retractable bathing ladder and a lifting system for a dinghy.
Interior with two cabins
The main cabin is part of an open-plan layout, but can be separated from the living area by a door. Two floor-to-ceiling wardrobes and several storage compartments are part of the equipment. There is an optional second cabin in the rear with two beds, each measuring 200 x 95 centimetres. There are 200-centimetre-high storage cupboards against the wall. Large windows in the hull and deck bring daylight into both cabins.
Drive and driving performance
The hull with variable geometry and keel fins is designed for two types of propulsion. There is a choice of conventional shaft drives or the Volvo Penta IPS system. For the shaft drives, Apreamare offers two Volvo Penta D6 engines with 380 hp (280 kW) or 480 hp (353 kW). The IPS variant is available with 500 hp (368 kW) or 600 hp (441 kW). The maximum speed is between 27 and 36 knots, depending on the engine. The shipyard specifies a cruising speed of 22 to 27 knots. The fuel tank holds 1,200 litres.
Dimensions and capacity
With a length of 12.80 metres and a maximum width of 4.20 metres, the Gozzo 42 is approved for up to 14 people. The shipyard emphasises that the boat should offer sufficient space and safety even on demanding trips.
