Brokers CommentsThis incredible Trader 42 Signature has so much to offer and it is hard to believe it has so much space and accommodation for a boat of its size. It has two proper full size cabins, both of which have en-suite facilities, as well as a really bright and spacious saloon with sofa seating, a generous Galley with full size AEG Appliances & fridge freezer. Out on deck, she has a lovely helm position that is raised for great visibility and has seating for the Crew & Guests but also has an electrically lowering radar arch, which was originally designed for navigating the French Canal system. Although this particular boat has less than 600 hours use, it has been through Europe but has now been bought back to the UK by road to be sold. Other great features include a Mastervolt Generator, Passerelle and full Reverse Cycle Air Conditioning that also provides cabin heating system for when the temperature dips. With a full site of Electronics, this boat is equipped for long distance cruising but yet is still easily handled & highly manoeuvrable. Furthermore, the Trader 42 is a Category A rated boat, so is certified and designed for extended offshore Cruising. With its White Hull and complimentary blue stripes and bright white topsides, this Gentleman’s Cruiser certainly looks the part and offers so much boat for its next Owner to enjoy.Trader are known for building great solid boats using quality craftsmanship.
