2017 Cutwater 242 Coupe
The Ultimate Trailerable Pocket Cruiser
Versatile. Efficient. Exceptionally capable.
The 2017 Cutwater 242 Coupe has earned a loyal following by delivering the comfort and amenities of a much larger cruiser in an easily managed, trailerable package. Whether your ideal day includes cruising the New England coastline, entertaining friends at anchor, fishing your favorite grounds, or escaping for a weekend aboard, the 242 Coupe is designed to do it all.
Powered by Yamaha's proven 300-horsepower four-stroke outboard, the Cutwater's patented double-stepped hull provides impressive acceleration, excellent fuel economy, and confident in handling a wide variety of sea conditions. Her enclosed pilothouse offers protection from the elements, dramatically extending your boating season while maintaining outstanding visibility from the helm.
What truly sets the 242 Coupe apart is her intelligent use of space. The opening aft glass bulkhead transforms the cockpit and salon into one expansive entertaining area, while the convertible dinette, private forward berth, enclosed head with shower, and fully equipped galley make comfortable overnight cruising a reality.
Whether you're moving up from a center console, downsizing from a larger cruiser, or searching for a boat that can truly do it all, the Cutwater 242 Coupe offers an exceptional combination of performance, comfort, innovation, and value.

Responsive, economical cruising performance
The helm has been thoughtfully designed for both experienced captains and newcomers alike. Excellent sightlines, intuitive Yamaha controls, Garmin navigation electronics, and a comfortable double companion seat make long days on the water enjoyable. The optional bow thruster makes docking remarkably simple, even in tight marinas.
The bright, window-filled salon feels much larger than expected aboard a 24-foot cruiser. The reverse-opening aft window and reversible dinette create one of the most innovative entertaining spaces in this class, seamlessly connecting the interior with the cockpit. The convertible dinette comfortably seats four before lowering into an additional sleeping berth.
A complete galley makes extended cruising easy, featuring:
Refrigerator/freezer
Microwave
Electric/alcohol cooktop
Stainless sink with pressure water
Ample cabinet storage
Everything is within easy reach, making meal preparation simple whether underway or at anchor.
Forward, the private stateroom converts from a comfortable lounge into a generous double berth.

The enclosed fiberglass head includes a marine toilet, sink, vanity, shower, and holding tank—amenities rarely found aboard a trailerable cruiser of this size.
