Mag Bay Yachts 42 Hardtop Boat Review

• By Jim Hendricks
• Updated: April 1, 2021

The DNA of Mag Bay Yachts’ new 42 dates back to the early 1990s. Though the company was started in 2014 by the father-son team of Mike and Barrett Howarth, they were also the family that founded the vaunted Cabo Yachts line of diesel-powered sportfishers in 1991.

Yet Mag Bay’s inaugural model, the 33 Center Console, bears little resemblance to a Cabo, leading the offshore sport-fishing world to believe that the Howarths had committed to the booming center-console segment. The 42 dispels that notion, as this new express-style sportfisher reflects much of the heritage of the original Cabo line. You could say that the Mag Bay DNA reflects a good amount of genetic diversity.

That made me all the more curious to climb aboard the 42, an opportunity that occurred as I joined Barrett Howarth for a test run of this model in the Pacific waters off of Newport Beach, California.

Boat of Details

“I call it a boat of details because we focus on building everything, even the smallest items, to the highest craftsmanship standards possible,” said Howarth, as we began our tour of the Mag Bay 42.

That became clearly evident as I examined details like the flawless bilge rigging, a specially designed compartment for the washdown spigots and shower hoses, and another that hides long-handled items such as deck brushes, boat hooks and gaffs.

Though teak covering boards and decking are available as part of the custom build process, my test boat featured an all-fiberglass cockpit. Smoothly rounded cockpit coamings are gentle on legs and help eliminate the need for padded bolsters. Diamond nonskid ensures traction on a wet deck, and below the cockpit sole, I discovered a pair of 70-gallon, guttered fish lockers.

In the middle of the transom resides an 80-gallon pressurized livewell with toe space below and a curved, aquarium-style viewing window. A beefy, outward opening tuna door in the starboard quarter lets you slide aboard big, heavy fish.

A three-step companionway leading to the helm deck splits the mezzanine seating in the forward cockpit. I found abundant dry storage under the seating, as well as below the elevated deck at the foot of the benches. The entire helm deck hinges upward at the push of a button to access the immaculate rigging in the engine room with its twin 1,000 hp Volvo Penta D-13 turbo-diesel inboards, Onan 13.5 kW generator, standard Seakeeper 6 gyro-stabilizer and other systems.

I measured 6 feet of headroom when I stepped down inside to get a sense of what it would be like to service the boat’s engines and ZF transmission.

Two Versions

You can custom order the 42 as an open, sport express model or with an integrated hardtop, like the one I tested. Both versions feature wraparound glass windshields to protect the bridge deck, which features an L-shaped settee stretching across the aft bulkhead and extending forward on the port side.

The integral hardtop is supported entirely by the windshield-frame structure, with no supports for the portion that cantilevers aft, giving this top a sleek appearance. It also includes a retractable sunroof to usher in light and fresh air. My test boat also featured a rack of 10 rod holders lining the aft edge.

A tackle center with cabinets, drawers, spool racks, shelves and tackle boxes occupies the starboard side of the bridge deck. It also houses an icemaker.

The test boat’s expansive helm featured a pair of Garmin 24-inch multifunction touchscreen displays. A flip-open compartment to port conceals but allows immediate access to dedicated displays and controls for systems such as the Seakeeper, SidePower thruster joystick, autopilot, windlass and more. The entire dash module easily hinges upward if you need to inspect or service the rigging. A trio of adjustable helm seats cradles the captain and two companions in comfort.

First Cabin

A pocket door on the starboard side of the bridge leads down to the salon and galley area, which offers 7 feet of headroom and a bright, airy feeling thanks to skylights and side windows, as well as overhead LED lighting. Wood cabinetry and decking lent a rich look to the quarters below deck on my test boat.

An L-shaped settee spans the aft bulkhead and port side, while the galley occupies the starboard area. It features a long granite countertop with tiled backsplash, cooktop and stainless-steel sink. Above is a microwave and below is a 190-cubic-inch Isotherm fridge/freezer.

The enclosed head is also to the starboard side, boasting 6 feet, 8 inches of headroom, a vanity and sink, standup shower and electric-flush commode. The salon also features a media locker for controlling the onboard audio system and other entertainment electronics.

Forward, through a central passageway, lies the master stateroom with a queen-size, elevated island berth, wood accents, overhead LEDs and a portlight hatch for illumination and fresh air. Teak cabinets above the berth store clothing items and other gear.

Accommodations belowdecks make the 42 a great boat for overnight trips, be it canyons in the Northeast, oil rigs in the upper Gulf of Mexico or multiday trips to the islands.

Performance

With 2,000 ponies pushing this 42,000-pound sportfisher, the Mag Bay 42 delivers plenty of get-up-and-go. You feel the power kick in 3 to 4 seconds after hammering the throttles as turbo-chargers spool up.

During my test, we jumped on plane in 9.5 seconds, and accelerated to 30 mph in 14.6 seconds. Top speed clocked in at 44.6 mph and 2,350 rpm, where the twin diesels burned 100 gallons per hour for 0.45 mpg. I recorded cruising fuel economy of 0.60 mpg at 1,900 rpm and 35.1 mph.

Trolling valves in the ZF transmissions let you reduce speed to as low as 2.6 mph for slow-trolling live bait. Without the trolling valves, the lowest trolling speed I could achieve was about 8.7 mph.

The handling and seakeeping of the Michael Peters-designed hull proved nothing less than stellar. Though the water laid flat on test day, I attacked the wakes created by large boats in the area, and the 42 sliced smoothly through the mess. It cornered with confidence at speed, and the Optimus electro-hydraulic steering system eased the task of controlling the rudders.

At low speed, with judicial use of the throttle, I could easily spin the 42 within its own length. The Mag Bay backs down confidently and cleanly, and in the calm waters of my test, did not take a hint of green water over the transom.

Just as Cabo quickly ascended to the top, it appears that the same DNA will propel Mag Bay Yachts to angling prominence, as evidenced by the quality, fishing features and performance of the new 42.

Let’s take a look at the Mag Bay 33.  With a 10’ beam, a 22-degree dead rise at the transom, a 10,000 pound displacement and a fuel capacity of 338-gallons allowing for a 400 mile range, comfort, performance and practicality abound.  Her 38-gallon freshwater tank makes it easy to shower up when coming up from a dive or to get your fish gear clean.

The Mag Bay 33’s electrical system layout is one of the best we’ve ever seen. And the vessel is wired to perfection by master marine electricians. Each wire is heat-shrunk, and clearly labeled with fuses and terminal blocks displayed in as an art form. In fact all the wires will be found neatly wound and stowed away. The lazarrette and mechanical spaces on a Mag Bay are roomy and laid out. Her hose clamps are fit with "clamp aids", and the lazarrette floor is fitted with non-skid and glimmering gelcoat to make cleaning easier. You’ll see how their attention to detail continues by their glassing and gelcoating every joint aboard. They go the extra mile not commonly found on others in the same class. The final product of a boat that has details all in place is special —and that, a Mag Bay is.

An interesting protocol is how the rigging and wiring is finished after the boat is built which ensures the runs are easy to get to for future rigging. This extra work at the factory, gives a better finale to the customers who decide to join the Mag Bay family. Built to or above all NMMA/ABYC standards, the Mag Bay product is a sight to see with all the extra time and effort put into each boat.

The Mag Bay product will turn heads time and time again — making a name as the talk of the dock. With the perfect combination of a Carolina flare along with tumblehome and sharp modern lines, the Mag Bay stands tall in every way. With standard Mercury outboards with Yamaha outboard options or other preferred power, the 33 is ready to take you anywhere. Inquiries for other power options are always welcome. Top it off with four group-31 batteries to power up all your electronics, engines and latest in accessories.

For safety, your Mag Bay 33 is equipped with two 2000 GPH bilge pumps in the aft bilge and a 900 GPH bilge beneath the console. She also offers high water alarms (there’s a red buzzing switch on the dash), to notify the captain of anything to be concerned about while cruising. A few more notable pluses are her waterproof connectors and the whole boat’s wiring specs being oversized ensuring voltage continuity and staying power. And another standard feature is are it’s fire extinguishers.

Have a look at her spectacular ‘Michael Peters’ patented “SVVT” hull design. Expect a ride that is efficient, exceptionally dry, and steady in any ocean conditions. You won’t find any bow rise either but only a fast plane and super speedy top-end speeds all thanks to it’s hull design.

The debut of the Mag 42 took place at this past year’s Fort Lauderdale Boat Show (2019) where heads were turning at the many options to choose from when customizing yours. Pick from: Stern —either open, hardtop, quarter open, or quarter hard top. Then there is the Bow: quarter hard top or quarter open. Also available is the water side profile I or II and finally the 42: open top or the side profile I or II.

Should you be curious as to who the founders of this fine company are, we can attest that the creators of Mag Bay come from an impressively long history of boat manufacturing achievement. As co-founders of Cabo Yachts, quality and customer care were part of family tradition. Established in 2015 by Mike Howarth and his son, Barrett, who helped create Cabo Yachts, Mag Bay’s roots run deep and it’s product solid!
