The day spaces, for instance, flow one into the next in a very attractive way.\r\n\r\nA central island sunbed links the swim platform and aft deck. Ahead of this, a pair of comfy loungers brings the walkway into the centre, guiding you forward to a sheltered C-shaped dinette on the portside with a really clever table that can be angled in any direction you please. There\u2019s also a compact but very elegant L-shaped galley on the starboard side behind the helm with two fridges and a subtly integrated Champagne drawer.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_138927\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"630\"]\"The The upper cockpit runs aft to three staggered lounging units[\/caption]\r\n\r\nThe helm itself is a one-man affair that is specifically designed to steal as little space as possible from the big party zone. And if you need a little more space, you can head up one of the symmetrical side decks to the raised island sunbed at the bow.\r\n\r\nNow clearly, this Santasevera 42 is not so much a cruising machine as a high-end day boat for weekending couples, so it comes with just the one cabin \u2013 but this is where that bow arrangement pays off. Generous headroom is maximised by means of quite a low-profile minimalistic bed. There\u2019s also a long, comfy changing seat to starboard and a separate heads compartment with shower.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_138928\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"630\"]\"The The single helm backs onto a really hardworking wet bar[\/caption]\r\n\r\nAs for performance, this is a very flexible boat. Apparently, D4-320s on sterndrives are all you need for 30-knot performance, but you can also opt for a pair of D6-480s for 45 knots. IPS pod drives on lengthy jackshafts are also on the cards and so is outboard propulsion.\r\n\r\nOf course, a pair of 600hp V12 outboard engines would do little for the beach club but speeds in excess of 50 knots are likely to be a major temptation for some.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_138929\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"630\"]\"A A single cabin makes this a posh day boat for weekending couples[\/caption]\r\n\r\nOther elements of the boat are just as flexible. For instance, while this Sport model\u2019s enclosed slide windows already give it more protection than the HT and Open variants, a Coup\u00e9 version is also now an option, with an extended roofline and sliding aft doors. And if you have ideas of your own that the standard palette doesn\u2019t cover, the fact that everything is built in-house at the firm\u2019s own yard means that they are well set up for custom requests.\r\n\r\nArticle continues below...<\/em>\r\n\r\n[collection]\r\n
