GX 42 RPH Hull #2

A raised pilothouse and a hybrid engine room define GX 42 RPH Hull #2, the second yacht off GX Superyachts' 42-metre line. At 42 metres and 353 gross tons she is due for delivery in 2027, built to run on diesel power or on her batteries alone.

Build and provenance

She is hull number two of that 42-metre line, built in aluminium and styled inside by Marco Casali working alongside Too Design. Buying GX 42 RPH Hull #2 ahead of completion means a buyer can still weigh in on the finishing choices, rather than taking on a boat someone else has already fitted out.

Layout and accommodation

Five cabins take ten guests, and a crew of eight is carried to run the boat and look after them, housed apart from the guest accommodation. The specification describes the layout as customisable, so an owner can still shape the accommodation to their own plan before she is finished.

Performance and engineering

Her diesel-electric hybrid propulsion lets her move on electric power alone at a quiet six knots before switching to diesel for longer runs, cruising at twelve knots with enough range to cross an ocean on that power and reaching a top speed of sixteen knots when needed. She carries 30,000 litres of fuel and 6,000 litres of fresh water, tankage sized for those longer passages, and her battery system lets her ride at anchor in silence, fossil fuel free.

On deck and at anchor

A swimming pool is built into the deck plan, and air conditioning runs throughout the yacht. Solar panels feed the battery system, so the pool deck and the cabins below it can draw on stored power rather than diesel while she rides at anchor.

Where she lies and how to see her

GX Superyachts is building her at its yard in Istanbul, Turkey, and GX 42 RPH Hull #2 is taking shape there now. Boatcrowd can arrange a visit to see the build in progress and will attend it with you; once an offer on her is accepted, survey and sea trial follow before handover.
