Dehler 42 Sport meets comfort

Discover the most flexible yacht in the Dehler fleet. The port-side cabin can either be used as a sail locker or built to be a third double cabin. The bow houses an optional own bathroom.

Unique: Dehler design

Dehler yachts stand out with their unique personality, which amazes with clear lines. Simply unmistakeable.

Extra strong: Dehler Carbon Cage

Available as standard, the Dehler Carbon Cage lends the hull 20 per cent more stability. That means you can sail higher into the wind with your Dehler.

Flexible: Cabin layout

Opt for a four or six-person layout for your Dehler 42, with one or two wet cells. The choice is yours.

The standard version of the Dehler 42 features a large amount of storage space on the port side and offers a large island bed in the bow cabin. As an alternative, the bow can be outfitted with an own bathroom and double bed, and the back port-side room can be a third double cabin.

One door for two frames makes it possible to use the space as you wish. Simply choose which areas should be separated from each other.

Whatever you decide to take on board, you will have plenty of space in the generous drawers, overhead cabinets, wardrobes and storage boxes.
