SAFE Boats 42 FC

This 2006 SAFE Boats 42 FC, 'Heartly Moon,' is a rigid sports inflatable with commercial-grade construction, designed as a highly capable, purpose-built platform for serious offshore work or adventurous private use. It stands apart from typical recreational offerings, prioritizing safety, reliability, and all-weather capability over luxury appointments.

Construction quality defines this vessel. The hull is aluminum, known for its strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to corrosion. The foam-filled collar and airtight pressure-sealed decks contribute to a truly unsinkable vessel, a critical safety feature. This commercial-grade build ensures longevity and resilience suitable for demanding environments.

Propulsion comes from twin Caterpillar C9 Accert diesel engines, totaling 1,130 hp, with only 900 hours. The Hamilton 322 series Jet Drives provide excellent maneuverability, shallow water access, and eliminate the risks associated with propellers. Maximum speed exceeds 40 mph. The vessel features Hamilton's Blue Arrow dynamic positioning system, a sophisticated upgrade allowing the boat to hold station without anchoring, valuable for diving or precise positioning.

The interior layout is functional and practical. It offers a comfortable and climate-controlled cabin with heating and air conditioning, a head, and a 32" flat-screen TV, allowing for extended operations in varying climates. Key upgrades include a hydraulic dive platform, a 4000w True Sine Inverter, an Onan generator, and a comprehensive electronics suite with dual 24" Furuno Touch Screen Displays, autopilot, FLIR night vision, and multiple lighting systems.

The 'Heartly Moon' has been privately owned and clearly well-cared for, as evidenced by the extensive list of upgrades and low engine hours. The interior aesthetic is utilitarian rather than opulent, which for a buyer prioritizing ruggedness and capability, is a distinct advantage. The ride is predictably solid and dry, designed to handle rough seas with confidence, a characteristic inherent in its commercial lineage.
