Some boats are built to follow trends. Others are built to outlast them. The Bruno & Stillman 42 belongs firmly in the second group.
Drawn by the legendary Maine designer Royal Lowell and built by the famed New Hampshire yard Bruno & Stillman, this 42-footer carries one of the most respected downeast hulls ever laid up in fiberglass — a seakindly, semi-displacement shape that earned its reputation working the cold, unforgiving waters of New England. Easy on fuel, soft in a head sea, and effortlessly handsome from any angle, she’s the kind of boat that turns heads in the anchorage and shrugs off the open passage.
Now lying in Willemstad, Curaçao, this example is ready for her next chapter — whether that’s chasing pelagics offshore, island-hopping the Caribbean, or simply cruising in timeless downeast style.
Under the hood she’s powered by a single Detroit Diesel (310 hp) on a straight shaft, showing just 948 hours — a torquey, simple, proven setup that’s as dependable as the hull around it. The cockpit is rigged and ready for fishing with a rocket launcher, rod holders, folding transom and a self-bailing deck, while the helm has been brought thoroughly up to date with a Garmin 8616XSV display, Garmin GSD 26 sounder module, Garmin Reactor 40 hydraulic autopilot and a Standard Horizon VHF. Bimini, full navigation and courtesy lighting, Fusion audio and a complete safety package round out a boat that’s genuinely turn-key.
Asking: USD 164,000
Classic downeast lines, modern electronics, and a fishing-ready cockpit — all in the heart of the Caribbean. Boats like this don’t come along often.
