Exterior design
The deck is made to change: the hi-lo table drops away entirely, and in the cockpit a side section folds down to form a platform over the water, with a ladder that slides out for swimming.
Triple-outboard sport weekender
The Verve 42 is a fast, compact outboard yacht with a contemporary take on luxury. Three 400 hp Mercury outboards give it a top speed of 43 knots and a cruising speed of 32 knots.
Planned as a weekender, it keeps its living spaces practical and comfortable. Francesco Struglia designed both its exterior and its interior, while Michael Peters developed the stepped SVVT hull.

High-performance double-stepped hull
Michael Peters’ patented SVVT (Stepped “V” Ventilated Tunnel) hull gives the Verve 42 a deep-V bottom with two steps across it and a shallow tunnel running aft through the centre. That tunnel is the key difference from other stepped hulls: it keeps the boat steadier fore and aft when turning hard at speed or in rough water, an ideal match for outboard power.
Carbon-Tech Generation
The Verve 42 uses carbon fibre for its upper parts, trimming their weight by up to 30%. With a lower centre of gravity it rolls up to 15% less and offers more room on board, while staying stable and quick to respond.
Triple outboard propulsion
Three 400 hp Mercury outboards push the Verve 42 to a top speed of 43 knots, with a cruising speed of 32. The set-up gives this sporty yacht a strong power-to-weight ratio, light displacement and smooth, responsive handling.
