By Jarrett Matthews

Cruisers Yachts has once again elevated the boating experience with their 42 GLS OB. This 42-foot gem seamlessly combines luxury, performance, and adventure in a single, stunning package. Let’s dive into the details that make the 42 GLS OB a standout in its class.

The 42 GLS OB boasts a beam of 13 feet, offering ample space for both socializing and relaxation. The bridge clearance, standing at 13 feet, ensures that the vessel can effortlessly navigate various waterways. With a draft of 43 inches at full load, this cruiser is well-suited for both shallow and deeper waters.

The exterior of the 42 GLS OB showcases a spacious cockpit with a thoughtfully designed layout. A U-shaped bow lounge, complemented by U-shaped dinette seating and two swivel bar stools, welcomes guests to unwind in style. An aft-facing bench adds versatility to the seating arrangement, with the option to face the opposing beach doors for a dynamic social setting.

Powered by triple 350-450 hp Mercury Verados, the 42 GLS OB offers an exhilarating top speed of 52 mph (with 400s). Maneuvering is a breeze thanks to joystick piloting, providing the captain with precise control. Lowering both sides of the vessel transforms them into an expansive swim platform, enhancing the overall water experience. Whether cruising or anchored, the 42 GLS OB guarantees endless family fun with its easy access controls and safety mechanisms.

The galley onboard is a testament to convenience and functionality. Equipped with a fiberglass inlay sink, fridge, bottle storage, and ample storage space, it ensures that all your culinary needs are met. The raised wet bar, coupled with barstools, creates a seamless area for entertaining, making every moment spent aboard enjoyable.

At the helm, the 42 GLS OB excels in design and functionality. Simrad electronics and joystick piloting provide a cutting-edge navigation experience. The conductive phone charging pad, along with optional amenities like an ice maker below the bolster helm chair, contribute to the captain’s comfort at sea.

The bow seating area is not just a place to sit; it’s a haven for relaxation. A convertible table transforms into a sunpad, offering the perfect spot to soak up the sun. Rockford Fosgate speakers and optional cupholders are underrated amenities as well. An optional foredeck shade ensures that guests stay cool and comfortable, even on the sunniest days.

Below deck, the lower salon impresses with a U-shaped dinette that easily converts into a spacious berth. The galley is well-equipped with a fridge, microwave, and optional TV, catering to both short trips and extended stays. The spacious stateroom features a custom-sized berth, personal reading lights, and ample storage. An inclined backrest ensures comfort while watching TV or simply relaxing.

The vessel’s head is a combination of functionality and elegance, featuring a sink, toilet, and standing shower. Clever storage solutions hidden behind the mirror and under the sink provide a place for every personal item.

For those with a passion for adventure, the 42 GLS OB is the perfect companion. Fast, stylish, and loaded with amenities, this cruiser has the space, speed, and flair to turn heads wherever it goes. If you’re in search of a boat that seamlessly blends luxury and adventure, the Cruisers Yachts 42 GLS OB deserves a closer look.
