James S. Krogen is a designer that has designed some very unique and wonderful yachts. The Sihoulette 42 was one that made him proud. He liked the fact that the yacht had many features no other yacht had for instance the SEADECK that lowers when you are at anchor. The hardtop with and open feeling bridge was another key feature he loved. He also liked her good turn of speed without costing the owner in additional fuel. She is very fuel efficient but will get up and go. Call us today to see this wonderful yacht.
