Lindell 42

Slightly lengthier and beamier than the Lindell 41, our 42-foot inboard model is built around the Volvo Penta Independent Propulsion System. The cutting-edge Penta pod drives can be manipulated individually to provide a host of benefits: Parallel park at the fuel dock. Troll at half a knot. Sip fuel. Hold position indefinitely in concert with the GPS. Spin the boat on its axis. Run to the horizon.

This is the deluxe tour bus of the ocean–spacious galley and head, understated but stylish appointment, room and bunks for the whole family (or band). Get where you need to go quickly and efficiently while cooking fish or playing board games or rigging rods or taking shut-eye shifts on the bunk below deck. Once you arrive, there’s ample space out on deck from which to deploy scuba gear, surf boards, kayaks, crab traps, downriggers, teasers, guitars, and whatever other instruments you decide to play with.
