- Is the Nord Star 42+ the best boat that Nord Star has ever built?
In this in-depth sea trial, tour and review of the Nord Star 42+ we’re going to find out. The 42 is available with sterndrives or IPS and it can be specified with or without the flybridge.
In the Cruiser variant, there is a more leisure-focused layout with access to a smart twin guest with a separate bathroom amidships. Forward, there is an owner’s cabin with a split toilet and and shower room.
The 42 is a very safe and easy boat to move around and lends itself to solo crewing. There is lots of deck stowage, plentiful grab rails and a pair of side doors that make moving from the interior deck as smooth as possible.
The driving experience and its excellent hull are a big part of the 42’s draw. It makes light work of heavy seas but also has the performance and handling to outrun sportscruisers of a similar size.
Is this the best 42ft SUV of the sea on the market? Watch the review and let us know what you think in the comments below.

Love NordStar. I think the 32 is one of the coolest boats out there in that size range. 2 cabins on a 32' boat and with that Nordic build, a winning combo.
That looks a very capable boat out at sea and easy to move around in close quarters. Nice finishes and layout and a great helm station. Great tour and sea trial Jack thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it - thanks! - Jack
Do like this style of boat , makes light work of the sea and the price as tested , pretty good value , think a sea seakeeper would be the other option I would consider
Brilliant review Jack!!
Love the Nord Star range and one is certainly be on wish list. Just got to decide which one 😂
Great review, perfect format! Love NordStar boats, practical, secure and super cool!
That's a very big small boat. Easy to spend a few days with a family of 4-5 on it.
Great review Jack. Love the style of these. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! - Jack
Perfect size for long weekend charter. Lots of possibilities and super safe.
Well done Jack, great review.
Like this format of Sea Trial, then boat tour. Works well.
Nordstar seems a bit less utilitarian than Botna and seemed to handle as well?
Dps on stern drives i'm sold
Lovely boat
Lovely boat. Really like the bit about high cost extras, you can see how expensive these additions are. Very useful. As an American I am astonished that this is thought of as a fishing boat. You can get a 42 - 44 foot Viking. Of course you don't see pricing online.
Still the sargo 45 for me but i really like this one and that price is incredible for all you get. 👏👏❤️🇬🇧
19:31 optioning must make boat dealers some good extra wedge. The real gear-grinder is the 5-figure joystick control. This type of system can't be a million miles different to that that is packaged in £300 drones. The machinery might be a lot more industrial but the controlling principles have to be pretty similar.
That was a super tight docking situation!
👀
Thanks Jack! 😊
My pleasure, Chris - J
Nice review as always, thanks! Have you tried the ”single lever” which is available on the Volvo controls? It is a really nice feature.
Yes, I use it quite often 👍 - Jack
Nice review Jack! Botnia Targa 41 next? 😁
Maybe... 👀
Esse modelo de barco gosto do design e como tudo se encaixa , ficou elaborado organização e gerenciamento 🎉🎉🎉
Excellent boat.. congratulations 👏
lets order one:)
Nice tour, really nice yacht. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching 😃
For a small big boat she quiet, a weekender, day trip or a couple of weeks cruising. She look from the video nimble, responsive to helm. Coping with all conditions of wind and sea conditions. The cabin is light and airy due to all the windows practical well planned seating galley and helm areas. Both cabins have access to their own bathrooms comfortable. She's a great boat like her.
Dig it!
This looks like an excellent boat. If you could pick one boat to run America's Great Loop, what would it be?
Excelente embarcação.
Love these type of boat, even tho I’m a huge Princess fan, these boats are awesome in many ways! Looks cool feels sporty to drive yet they are big and robust, and fast like a little sportsboat if you put targa sargo together I think nord start looks the best.
I love this boat! Not sure 11k for a MFD can ever be justified!!!
Yet another brilliant review Jack. It certainly is a great package but for some reason I'd still choose a Targa then Sargo over a Nord Star and I'm not entirely sure why 😂😂
Cheers Matthew! - Jack
Já existe no Brasil , desse s 2 motores da Volvo Penta são 2 D4 360?
No barbecue in the aft cockpit?
As I understand "waistline", yours is about 4 inch higher than the rail.
Nice little runabout for 'the poors' I suppose, barely adequate to get me to my boat though...
Why's a Basin in the shower
I can dream until 80l per hour. Then I have nightmares
Seen lots reviews from you guys and this boat seems very unstable in these conditions. I'm seeing lots of shaking.
Woow!🤟👍😍😉
