This was the clear and ambitious brief behind Francesco Struglia’s design for the Verve 42, a distinctive and unapologetically sporty yacht. The windows taper towards the bow, highlighting the sleek, dynamic hull and curving upwards into the gunwale to create a helm position where the pilot is at water level. It has never been so easy to get up close and personal with the sea and sea it literally rush past your eyes while cruising. The asymmetrical split-level layout of the bow is designed to maximise space for outdoor living. Up top is an ample cushioned sunbathing area while just below is a versatile al fresco lounge-cum-dining zone with a six-person table surrounded by an inviting C-shaped divan. The concept behind the design of the exterior areas is to enable the owner and guests to fully enjoy the extraordinary privilege of life on the water.
Versatility is to the fore, with a high-low table that can be completely removed from sight, a lateral open section and well-equipped cockpit cabinet creating an enticing, glamorous aft area that is simply made for long, convivial afternoons and evenings relaxing with friends and family. A simple button seamlessly adjusts the height of the cockpit table making it ideal for a meal or as a handy surface for drinks, books or games. Or, if you want to clear space for a spot of impromptu partying, it can also disappear completely from the deck, leaving you with a totally free floor surface. Alternatively, you can add cushions to transform it into an additional sun lounging zone.
The compact but comprehensive cabinet contains all you need for your onboard entertainment, including a wet bar, fridge, ice maker, barbecue, cooking hob, dishwasher and height-adjustable TV. Designed to place you as close to the sea as possible, the cockpit features a side panel that opens up and niftily transforms into a surprising platform over the water.

This exciting design feature also places the pilot right amongst the action, in the heart of the wake at high speeds, with water rushing by on either side almost as though it were part of the boat’s structure. The instrument panel, inspired by automotive design, contains three Raymarine Axiom 16-inch screens brimming with navigational data, digital buttons and onboard control system.
