Project: Apreamare Gozzo 42

Apreamare presents the Gozzo 42 project, moving forward the stylistic and design evolution of the Gozzo line.  The Gozzo 42 is not just an expansion of the range, but brings a natural evolution of Apreamare design language as desired by Cataldo Aprea who again asked Marco Casali of Too Design the designer of the all the current Gozzo range, and Umberto Tagliavini of Marine Design who design and engineer this new model. The result is that the Gozzo 42 is a perfectly balanced take on the Apreamare identity: respect for tradition, build quality and functional innovation devised for the contemporary owner.  Stylistically speaking, the Gozzo 42 introduces a new sportier and more modern look; the hull, deckhouse and windows have been completely redesigned to create a more dynamic silhouette, without affecting the family feeling that has made the Gozzo range immediately recognisable in the yachting scene.  The distinctive features of theGozzo 42 include the sleek hardtop, now designed to be fitted with the optional glass windscreen in a solution that increases cruising comfort in all conditions. The helm station also has a more sculpted design, with a more ergonomic layout and optional air conditioning for maximum driving comfort.  Special attention was also given during the design process to technical and functional aspects: new air inlets integrated into the hull improve cooling in the engine room, which has a large electrically operated door to facilitate access for maintenance. A technical compartment in the stern houses the mooring gear.  In true Apreamare tradition, the new Gozzo 42 stands out for its exceptional onboard liveability, among the best in its category. The cockpit features a large two meters long sun-pad in the stern, positioned next to a generous C-shaped sofa that can comfortably seat up to eight people. A second area for socialising, in the bow, features a sun-pad and facing sofas, designed for a totally relaxing and private sea experience. Both the cockpit and the sun-pad in the bow can be effectively shaded by awnings attached to the T-Top structure and supported by carbon fibre poles, improving onboard comfort during the hottest time of day.  The wet bar is fully customised to suit the owner’s preferences and can be fitted with two 85-litre refrigerators, an ice maker and a barbecue, grill or induction hobs, as well as a spacious compartment for tableware. Completing the outdoor experience is the almost six-square-metre stern platform featuring a retractable swim ladder and a tender lift system.  The interiors are designed to offer comfort and bright spaces, with a master cabin part of an open-plan layout that can be separated completely from the living area by a door ensuring complete privacy for the owner. An optional second separate cabin can specified at midships, with two single beds and storage units along the wall. The entire sleeping area is flooded with light that pours in through the new hull and deck windows.  In terms of performance at sea, the Gozzo 42 lives up to the high standards set by all Apreamare boats, with a the variable-geometry hull with skegs designed for either a conventional in-line shaft drive or a Volvo Penta IPS system.  The Apreamare Gozzo 42 is powered by Volvo 380 or 480hp with line line shaft or IPS pod drives.  Top speeds are 27 knots for Volvo 380hp and line shaft propulsion, and go up to 36 knots with twin Volvo 480hp with IPS pod propulsion.
