Endeavour 42 Aft Cockpit
Description
The Endeavour 42 is a spacious, full-keel cruising sloop designed by Johan Valentijn and built by Endeavour Yacht Corporation in Largo, Florida, from 1985 to 1990. Positioned as a flagship in Endeavour’s lineup, it was crafted for comfortable long-range cruising, particularly for coastal and Caribbean voyages, with a focus on roomy accommodations and solid construction. Available in aft-cockpit and center-cockpit configurations, approximately 200–250 units were produced, appealing to liveaboards, families, and charter operators. Its heavy displacement, shoal draft, and sturdy fiberglass build make it ideal for relaxed passages in protected waters, though it’s less agile than modern racer-cruisers.
