Austin Parker 42 LOBSTER
The Austin Parker brand enjoys a well-established reputation in international boating, thanks to its ability to blend tradition and modernity in each of its creations. The 42 LOBSTER model, introduced in 2003, is a clear example of the craftsmanship of the Italian shipyard: classic lines inspired by legendary lobster boats, combined with contemporary technical solutions designed for the discerning sailor. This pre-owned unit, available in Sitges, Barcelona, represents a unique opportunity for those seeking a motorboat that combines elegance, reliability, and a high level of equipment.
With a length of 12.2 meters, a beam of 4.5 meters, and a draft of just 1 meter, this motorboat is perfectly suited for both coastal trips and longer voyages. Its robust deep-V fiberglass hull ensures stability and safety in various sea conditions, translating to comfort on board and confidence when tackling more ambitious routes along the Mediterranean coast. The condition is impeccable, reflecting meticulous maintenance and moderate use over its two previous owners.
The engine is one of the main attractions of this Austin Parker 42 LOBSTER. It is equipped with two Yanmar 6LY2A inboard engines of 440 horsepower each, updated with significant revisions in 2024 (including head gaskets, turbo, and new pumps), allowing for a cruising speed of 11 knots and a maximum of 20 knots. Electrical comfort is ensured by a 9 kW Mase generator, with installations for 12 and 220V power. The fuel tanks, with 1,700 liters and recently cleaned in 2024, and the fresh water system (900 liters) complete an excellent autonomy for long stays on board.
The interior design reflects the philosophy of functional luxury that characterizes the brand. The main cabin offers a full bathroom, while the guest cabin also features a private bathroom. The exterior crew cabin, also equipped with a bathroom, adds versatility and privacy, ideal for families or those traveling with crew. The layout is designed to comfortably accommodate up to eight people, turning each journey into a memorable experience.
In terms of equipment, this motorboat stands out for its comprehensiveness and modernization. It features a maneuvering joystick, a bow thruster with dual controls (in the cabin and at the stern for easier docking), electric windlass and winches, a hydraulic gangway, and flaps, elements that simplify navigation and maneuvers in port. The autopilot and the new 12-inch Raymarine Axiom GPS enhance safety and ease of use for skippers of any experience level. Comfort is completed with air conditioning, television, microwave oven, ceramic hob, and multiple power outlets, all designed for maximum livability.
On the exterior, the Austin Parker 42 LOBSTER invites enjoyment with its sunbathing area with cushions, teak deck, upper and side awnings, as well as summer and winter covers to preserve the furniture. Every detail is aimed at providing relaxation and protection from the elements, both at anchor and while sailing.
The location in the Sitges marina, in the province of Barcelona, adds strategic value to this offer. Sitges is known for its excellent nautical infrastructure, cosmopolitan atmosphere, and easy access to iconic routes in the western Mediterranean. From this mooring point, the possibility of exploring both the Costa Brava and Balearic destinations opens up with maximum comfort.
