The Aeroyacht Alpha 42 cruising catamaran is unlike any other production multihull on the market. Whether you order her with high performance daggerboards or keels the first thing one notices is the clean, up-scale design, properly proportioned deck and cockpit areas and the aggressive wave piercing bows. The Alpha 42 is a true dual purpose yacht: She can be an entry level boat for the first time owner as she is easy to single hand and maintain yet on the other hand represents a capable and tough ocean going cruising multihull that can take a live aboard family safely around the world. Charter operators will appreciate the Alpha 42′s spacious deck and entertainment spaces as well as her large proportioned interior and flexible layout options which can sleep up to 10.

The Aeroyacht Alpha 42 catamaran has been designed from the ground up and looks like no other multihull on the market. Unlike the many cookie-cutter charter and production cats she was conceived with features that are usually associated with high end custom builders. The Apha 42 catamaran is a true reverse-engineered catamaran: Designed by an expert team of offshore sailors, naval architects and rig specialists, multiple design inputs from groups such as live aboard cruisers, fishermen and first time buyers were considered and incorporated into the yacht’s DNA.

The best is, the Alpha 42 is the only large cruising catamaran over 32′ that is built in the United States (New York) eliminating the inconvenience often associated with delivering and importing the boat from an overseas manufacturer. Financing possibilities with a domestic build are also greatly increased. Customers will find it convenient to monitor the progress of their boat and the semi-custom set-up of the builder will allow clients to realize special wishes that other manufacturers simply cannot offer. Built to ABS (American Bureau of Shipping Standards) and with over 850 large cruising yachts built to date, the quality and attention to detail is unsurpassed.

While foreign builder’s offer alternatives – there will never be a substitute to own the Alpha 42 catamaran. The style, functionality and quality stand above the rest.
