2022 Azimut Verve 42

• By Capt. Chris Caswell
• July 8, 2022

In motorcycle parlance, a cafe racer is a bike tricked out to look like a competition version but only flits from the pub to the bistro.

While the new Azimut Verve 42 might look like a waterborne cafe racer for jaunts from Cannes to St. Tropez carrying champers and revelers, this boat is no poseur. We discovered this while smashing through and leaping off rough seas in the Gulf Stream, which tested its construction of vinylester resin (for blister protection), plus carbon fiber in the deck and hardtop (for strength). Built to Euro classification CE Category A (winds to 45 mph, seas to 13 feet), the Verve 42 gave off nary a creak.

Testing in angry seas also proved Michael Peters ’ stepped-V ventilated hull. It landed softly on its deep-V and tracked arrow-straight.

A smaller version of Azimut’s Verve 47, the 42 could take you from Miami to Bimini (or Newport to Nantucket) for lunch and back at 50 mph, thanks to triple 450 hp Mercury Racing outboards. But who would?

Interior and Accessories

This is no spartan day cruiser, but a full-fledged yacht with a private owner’s cabin (queen-size berth), a head with a full shower stall, and a forward berth. Fully air-conditioned courtesy of the 11 kW Onan genset, there is a galley hidden behind lacquered locker doors.

You can serve your meals either in the cabin on the table that converts into a double berth, or in the cockpit on the cool table that rises electrically from flush in the sole. For water fun, the port hullside unfolds to create a beach with a swim ladder. Because the engines are aft, there is immense stowage under the cockpit.

The skipper and two friends get high-back, electrically adjustable helm seats behind a sweeping dash with twin Raymarine 15-inch monitors. The Verve 42 surprises with a cockpit-level walkway forward to the bow seating.

Thinking of the Verve 42 as just an overnighter misses the point—this boat is for long weekends (or weeks) aboard without feeling like you are roughing it. The Italians have merged a center-console (with a limited cabin) and an express cruiser (without forward seating) to create a great choice for buyers.

High Points

• Wraparound bowrider seating is a delight, with a sun pad, a dining table, and easy access via a walkway to port.
• Full stand-up shower with glass doors and a seat helps make it a true cruiser.
• Privacy door for the owner’s cabin is special, plus there’s storage in the headboard and space to dress properly.
• Good service access to systems and batteries via the cockpit floor hatches.

• Given the speed potential, more handgrips (round rather than square) in the cockpit would be appreciated.
• Considering the long-weekender capabilities, a single-burner Kenyon induction cooktop seems stingy—no boeuf bourguignon for this crew.
• Overhead buttons for various systems (lighting, windlass, wipers, etc.) look cool and aircrafty, but are a stretch for seated skippers.

Toughest Competitor

Cruisers 42 Cantius ($880,480) has IPS drives and two full cabins, with two full heads en suite. However, the forward seating is small, without a cockpit-level walkway.

Azimut Verve 42 Reviewed

• By Chris Caswell
• August 17, 2022

Sea trials are often relatively calm affairs: Run the boat on reasonably smooth water, grab the performance numbers and get a sense of the boat. My run on the Azimut Yachts Verve 42 was a bit more lively.

First, as we headed out the Port Everglades inlet in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, I could see mountains moving in the Gulf Stream just offshore. Second, the skipper was Federico Ferrante, president of Azimut Benetti USA and clearly an aspiring Formula One driver. Before we cleared the inlet, he grabbed a fistful of throttles for the triple 450 hp Mercury Racing outboards, and we were off on Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride. I’ve run the Miami-Nassau powerboat race from Florida to the Bahamas and taken less abuse than we tried to give the Verve that afternoon.

And the 42-footer took it in stride. Blasting off waves, the boat landed softly thanks to the 22.5-degree transom deadrise and Michael Peters hull form. Yes, there was spray, but most of it was thrown aside, courtesy of double strakes and a wide spray chine/rail. We were in flat water long enough to see a top speed of 45 knots, and then the Gulf Stream dictated our speeds while we occasionally pushed the envelope.

This is a yacht that can make it from Florida to Bimini in just over an hour (given less-strenuous conditions) and that has comfortable overnight accommodations upon arrival. There is a queen-size berth in a private stateroom, a head with a shower (that itself has 6-foot-6-inch headroom) and a convertible V-berth for kids or friends.

Getting aboard, whether from the water or a dock, is easy. First, there is a full-beam transom walkway a step down from the cockpit and forward of the engines. A portside deck unfolds to create a beach, and there is a stainless-steel ladder with wide rungs for swimmers.

Then, it’s relaxation time. In the cockpit, the L-shaped settee wraps around the starboard side, with a table that rises electrically from the sole when needed. Just forward and tucked abaft the helm seats are an Isotherm fridge and ice maker.

The deck layout might be termed “semi-center-console,” since the starboard side has a conventional raised deck (steps up from the cockpit), while the port side is a dedicated walkway at cockpit level around the house to make access to the bow seating easy and safe.

At the foredeck, there is a sun pad with backrests for two to three people atop the cabin house. A U-shaped settee in the bow around a table calls out for sundowners and munchies at anchor under the awning. The 42’s hidden anchor windlass has a remote control and a locker to hold 130 feet of chain. For security, the entire bow is surrounded by welded stainless-steel rails.

In the pilothouse are three electrically adjustable bolstered seats (think Ferrari-type side bolsters) and a raised foot brace. The vessel’s black dash has subtle blue lighting and space for twin 15-inch Raymarine multifunction displays abaft the windshield, which has a single pantograph wiper. To keep things cool, there are air-conditioning vents in the dash and an overhead hatch next to rows of aircraft-style push-button switches. The skipper has access to the Humphree automatic trim system to keep the 42 running flat and fast in all conditions.

Below is a cool, serene Italian condo designed by Francesco Struglia, all grays and blacks and nubby upholstery. To port is the galley, mostly hidden behind lacquered cabinetry, with a Kenyon induction range, Miele oven, fridge and sink.

Opposite is the head compartment with an electric toilet and sink, as well as a separate glass-door stall shower with a seat. Forward, seating wraps around a table that lowers electrically to form a couple-size V-berth, and a TV is mounted on the after bulkhead.

The owner’s stateroom is aft with a privacy door. Windows, including an opening portlight, are hidden in the exterior swoosh graphics. They make the area bright. Stowage is hidden in the headboard.

Electrical power is provided by an 11 kW Onan generator that’s tucked under the cockpit, with access through a deck hatch. This unit easily handles the triple-zone air conditioning and galley needs.

The Verve 42 also has a sizable undercockpit room, thanks to the powerplants hanging off the stern. Owner-operators will find a step-in service area for the outboard systems, as well as an aft “hold” in the transom that’s large enough to serve as a garage for water toys, fenders and lines.

The Azimut Verve 42 is well-mannered, even with the 1,350 horses, and is a stylish day cruiser with weekending capability. It never hurts that owners can put down the hammer to get to any destination in a hurry. As an alternative to center-consoles with limited liveaboard space or conventional express cruisers without forward seating, the Verve 42 offers the best of all worlds.

It’s a Hull Thing

Michael Peters designed the Verve 42’s hull using his patented Stepped-Vee Ventilated Tunnel hull. This deep-V design incorporates twin athwartships steps and a stern tunnel. The result is as soft riding as a conventional deep-V hull but with improved directional stability and solid tracking when turning at speed.

Driving Force

The Mercury Racing 450R outboard is purpose-built for high performance, with a V-8, 4.6-liter quad-cam powerhead. A Mercury Racing belt-driven supercharger ups the horsepower to 450. Engine mounts isolate vibration, and electrohydraulic steering is standard. Routine oil checks and top-offs can be done via the Mercury pop-off service door.

How It’s Made

The Verve 42’s hull is built from conventional fiberglass using vinylester resins for blister protection, while the deck and hardtop include carbon fiber for strength without added weight. The Verve 42 is built to CE Classification Type A, making it suitable for sea voyages where winds can exceed 45 mph and seas can grow to 13 feet.

HI RISE Boat for Sale

• Yachts for sale

Last updated Sep 10, 2024

Hi Rise Boat | 40' Azimut 2018

This 2018 40’ VERVE is powered by triple Mercury Verados 350 HP outboards. This power package gives it top-end performance of just over 50 MPH and a cruising speed of just over 40. Joystick maneuvering with Mercury’s Skyhook dynamic positioning feature is available so the Verve will be noticed not only for its elegant styling, but also for your maneuvering in tight quarters. Because swimming off the back of an outboard-driven boat is not ideal, Azimut also added a side gate. Not just an opening in the hull, this port gate folds down and out to make a swim platform. In a wide slip, the gate can also be used for easier access for those who may be less mobile.  The interior is spacious and luxurious. The main deck features a large salon with a U-shaped sofa, a dining table for six, and a wet bar featuring a new ice maker, wine cooler, and Kenyon barbeque grill. She has a large sun lounge with a table that can be used for additional dining space. The lower deck is comfortable and elegant, featuring a galley with a 2 burner stovetop, microwave oven, and convertible dinette. If you are looking for a stylish and powerful cruising yacht, then this is the perfect choice for you.
