Brief Summary
Video was provided by Chaparral.
Chaparral's 42' 0" (12.8 m) LOA 420 Premiere is a hardtop express cruiser with many features we like, most of them comfort-related: There's a fully equipped galley roomy enough for actual cooking; a wet bar and grill in the cockpit; lots of sunbathing space, forward and aft; an optional hydraulic swim platform that can be lowered to launch a tender or PWC; a split master head with separate shower compartment; and a midcabin with a bulkhead for privacy that doubles as a seagoing den, so folks can enjoy it even when they're not sleeping.
Introduced in 2009 as the 400 Premiere, the 420 Premiere is the same yacht, but renamed to reflect evolving industry standards of measurement. (Most of Chaparral's 2012 boats have received similar treatment.)
