Trader 42 Signature

With her semi-displacement hull, this motor yacht is built for long sea voyages, prioritizing efficiency and seaworthy stability. Tony Castro's design combines polyester construction with the weight of a steel ship, which translates into robust handling and a dampening effect in rough waters.

The 2008 Trader 42 Signature measures 13.3 meters LOA with a beam of 4.3 meters and a draft of 1.2 meters. The displacement is 13.8 tons, making the ship suitable for coastal cruising and passages.

Two CUMMINS diesel engines of 380 hp each provide propulsion via shaft drives, with a top speed of 24 knots. The engine configuration offers redundancy and sufficient power to achieve acceptable fuel consumption at cruising speed.

The GRP hull material was built by Trader Motoryachts in Taiwan, a yard known for solid laminate strengths. The build quality and finish are above average, which is visible upon inspection in the detailing of the woodwork and the fitting of panels.

On board, three cabins are arranged for a total of six berths, suitable for multi-day trips with family or crew. The current owner has had a stern thruster, air conditioning, and new cushions installed, which significantly improves comfort and maneuverability in ports.

The navigation and electrical equipment are typical for a motor yacht of this class and build period.

The berth is Loosdrecht, Netherlands, and VAT has been paid. The ship is aimed at the owner considering longer passages or seeking a seaworthy platform for European inland waterways and adjacent sea areas. Offered by De Valk Group, located in Almere, a verified broker with national coverage.
