Project: Southport Boats 42DC

Dual console sport cruisers are on the rise, and Southport Boats presents the 42DC project. The 42DC is set to challenge the genre in its current large offer, from the pure dual console that is the Grady White Freedom 415, to the hybrids like the Azimut Verve 42, Cruisers 42 GLS, Regal LX43, and Sea Ray SLX 400.  Yes dual consoles are still about eight meters short to were the largest center console's have arrived.  The 2026 coming 42DC is a bold expansion from Southport, who to date have offered only one dual-console model, the much praised 33DC which has been a huge success for the 2003 North Carolina founded boat builder who in 2011 moved in Maine.  Designed in-house for optimal offshore performance and all-day comfort, the 42DC builds on the versatility of the 33DC with more space, storage, and luxury. It features expansive bow and aft seating, with an enhanced focus on family cruising, and will include a lower cabin deck sleeping four; convertible V-berth settee forward, and a twin berth at midships. The 42DC offers a fully customizable aft cockpit and helm deck configuration, designed to adapt to an owners lifestyle.  Standard powered by triple Yamaha 450hp outboards the Southport 42DC is available with optional triple Mercury 425hp or twin 600hp, and or Volvo 480hp inboard stern drive inboards diesels.
