Beneteau Oceanis 42CC

Introducing Sea No Evil, a thoughtfully maintained 2003 Beneteau 42 Center Cockpit that embodies the very essence of cruising comfort and capable offshore performance. From the moment you step aboard, Sea No Evil impresses with her purposeful design and attention to detail. She is a vessel that speaks to sailors who want both confidence under sail and smart, practical features for everyday use.

Starting topsides, Sea No Evil greets you with a center cockpit layout that immediately conveys security and ease. The protected helm, well-placed handholds, and thoughtful cockpit ergonomics make handling straightforward whether you’re single-handling or sailing with crew. The cockpit is spacious, with easy access to lines and winches, and the opening windscreen gives visibility and air when you want it, or shelter when conditions dictate, a design detail you’ll appreciate on longer passages or at anchor. Sea No Evil’s hull lines are classic Beneteau: efficient, balanced and easy-sailing, making her predictable and enjoyable in a variety of sea states. The innovative aft transom with a drop-down bathing platform extends the usable deck space when at anchor, and the integrated gangway simplifies dock arrivals and departures, especially when snug stern-to. This really is a cool and smart feature.

Working your way down the companionway into the interior, the first thing you’ll notice is how well the layout is designed; open, bright and comfort come to mind. The salon is welcoming with generous natural light and a settee that invites relaxed evenings after a day on the water. The galley is thoughtfully positioned and equipped for both meal preparation underway and entertaining at anchor. Forward, the V-berth cabin offers a comfortable private retreat, and aft there’s a second cabin with a center-line island berth, ideal for owners. Two heads (both ensuite) further enhance live-aboard convenience. With easy access to engine and technical areas, maintenance aboard Sea No Evil has been simplified without compromising space or functionality. 

With an ample freshwater capacity, generous tankage for extended cruising, and the balance of performance and comfort Beneteau’s 42CC is known for, Sea No Evil is ready to take her next skipper to new horizons whether that’s weekend coastal hopping or stepping up to more ambitious blue-water adventures. 

The Center Cockpit series was overbuilt compared to its aft cockpit counterparts making these yachts highly capable all at a great value.
