Cruisers Yachts 42 GLS

Navigate waters with ease in the 42 GLS powered by Mercury engines reaching speeds up to 49 mph. With dual beach doors, a full galley, comfortable seating, and a spacious bow - the 42 GLS is the yacht for you. The lower cabin features an aft stateroom and U-shaped dinette that converts into a berth.

Beach Doors

Expand your swimming area by lowering both sides of the 42 GLS I/O to convert them into a swim platform. The easy to access controls and safety mechanisms allow for endless family fun. The optional hydraulic swim platform further extends the swim area and makes getting in and out of the water a breeze.

Seating options aboard the 42 GLS I/O include deep bow seating, a U-shaped dinette, and a luxurious aft facing sun lounge. The centrally located galley with two swivel bar stools facing midship allow for conversation to flow effortlessly.

Cockpit Galley

The galley features a fiberglass inlay sink, fridge, bottle storage, and plenty of storage. An optional grill and TV add to the beautifully designed galley. The raised wet bar attached to the galley with accompanying bar stools allow you to effortless entertain.

The 42 GLS IO can be powered by Mercury 8.6 520 HP racing engines or Mercury 8.2 Mag 430 HP engines. The joystick piloting allows you to navigate with ease at a top speed of 49 mph using the racing engines or 46 with the 430 HP engines.

Cruisers Yachts 42 GLS Offers 45 Knots of Fun

• By Chris Caswell
• Updated: August 5, 2021

The Cruisers Yachts’ 42 GLS is the perfect pocket cruiser with 45 knots of on-the-water fun. I write this with confidence because that’s the top speed the 42 GLS I got aboard hit during speed runs off South Florida. The boat was powered with optional triple 400 hp Mercury Verado outboards, slightly larger than the standard triple 350 hp Verados but smaller than the largest triple 450 hp Verado option. It’s a great setup for wakeboarding or towing the kids in tubes. I ran the express cruiser across a lumpy Gulf Stream with lots of potholes to challenge its deep-V hull form with 21-degree transom deadrise, and my ride never saw spray on the windshield.

In addition to being a solid performer, the 42 GLS serves as an at-sea party platform. The cockpit is pure entertainment, the twin barstools facing aft over the sink, fridge and bottle stowage to the U-shaped dinette to the swiveling aft bench seat that faces inward or toward the foldout platforms far aft. Owners can add a barbecue grill (steaks, anyone?) as well as a TV to watch the game from the dinette.

The lower salon has a U-shaped dinette that becomes a tapered queen-size berth when needed. The dedicated stateroom has a nearly queen-size berth set up athwartships. The 6-foot-7-inch headroom extends into the enclosed head with a stand-up shower. In the mornings, owners can prep coffee and croissants with the salon’s fridge and microwave.

In terms of maintenance accessibility, there is unimpeded access to water strainers and batteries. There’s also an optional Seakeeper for roll-free cruising, a standard oversize sunroof for bringing in the outside, and a standard 5 kW generator to fire up the blender when it’s time for sundowners. Because the boat is designed for watery fun, it will be no surprise when sand finds its way into the cockpit or salon, so the 42 GLS has a central vacuum system that also comes standard.

The close-quarters boat handling is done via a Mercury joystick, which, during my time aboard, allowed the 42 GLS to slide sideways out of an incredibly tight slip sans white knuckles.

Well-appointed and with speed, space and solid handling, the Cruisers 42 GLS is fun at 45 knots and while just drifting and dreaming.

All In-House

To manage quality control, Cruisers Yachts does everything in-house, from labeled wiring harnesses to welded rails to stitched upholstery. On the Cruisers 42 GLS I got aboard, the woodwork trim in the salon and stateroom had a first-rate finish.

Why Outboards?

There are numerous reasons for outboard power, starting with easy maintenance. Service techs can easily access them by popping off the cowling. Outboards also allow owners to sidle into the shallows on sandbars and put the 42 GLS’s fold-down platforms to good use. Today’s outboards are relatively quiet and fuel-efficient too.

2021 Cruisers Yachts 42 GLS

• By Boating Tech Team
• Updated: December 4, 2020

Largest in the adventurous GLS series from Cruisers, the new 42 GLS clearly shouts “fun on the water.” Certainly, the most visible features are the twin fold-down beach doors that create a spacious swim and lounge platform aft, complete with rear-facing seating. Swim ladders are on each side, and a shower is hidden for rinse-offs.

The cantilevered hardtop, with large sliding fiberglass sunroof, provides full sun protection, and an optional powered Makefast awning slides from the hardtop to cool the transom beach as well.

The cockpit is unique, with a dinette to starboard that wraps around a custom wood table, while the galley opposite is equipped for entertaining with a grill, fridge drawer, ice maker, sink and storage. Twin bar stools with a counter are thoughtful touches for entertaining.

The skipper enjoys a fully adjustable double bench seat behind a twin all-glass Simrad navigation cluster, with push-button accessory switches and a Mercury joystick for easy maneuvering. Power for the 42 GLS comes from a choice of triple 350 to 450 hp Mercury Verado outboards and, with the midsize 400s, it tops out at 52 mph.

The forward cockpit, separated by a gas-assisted opening windshield panel and a lower air-dam door to protect the cockpit from wind, is another full entertainment area. The U-shaped bow seating showcases a table that converts into a sun pad, Rockford Fosgate speakers with volume controls, and multiple cup holders. The settee also transforms into forward-facing seats with an elbow rest. A hidden anchor locker conceals a Genius anchor windlass, which can be controlled by foot buttons or from the helm.

The cabin is reached through a sliding door with built-in screen, and features a spacious private stateroom with a custom berth, reading lights, and inclined backrests for watching the TV. In the main cabin, a convertible U-shaped dinette becomes a full berth, and both areas enjoy great stowage. The head compartment features a sink, electric toilet and stand-up shower, plus more storage.

Out of the Centre

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.
