The Moorings 4600 Owner Version: The First 4-Cabin Catamaran with a True Owner’s Suite
The Best 3-Cabin Catamaran? Meet the Moorings 4200 Owner Version
Not all 3-cabin catamarans are created equal, many models prioritize capacity over comfort, squeezing in extra cabins at the expense of spacious living areas, and focus on affordability over high-end design. But for yacht owners who refuse to compromise on luxury, livability, and smart ownership benefits, The Moorings 4200 Owner Version is in a class of its own.
Designed by world-renowned Robertson and Caine and winning the prestigious Best Cruising Catamaran Under 50 award in Cruising World’s 2022 Boat of the Year, this catamaran blends modern aesthetics with exceptional functionality, offering the most spacious salon and owner’s suite in its class. Whether you’re looking for unparalleled onboard comfort or a turn-key investment with guaranteed income, the 3-cabin 4200 owner version delivers the best of both worlds.
But don’t just take our word for it. Here’s a look at how The Moorings 4200 owner version stacks up against its competitors—and why it’s the best 3-cabin catamaran on the market today.
Unrivaled Living Space: A True Home on the Water
Stepping aboard the Moorings 4200, the first thing you’ll notice is space—lots of it. Unlike other catamarans in its class that feel cramped and compact, the 4200 is designed for open, airy living that seamlessly connects indoor and outdoor spaces.
Drawing design inspiration from the award-winning Moorings 5000, the 4200 features sleek exterior lines with full wrap-around windows flooding the salon with natural light. The open-plan galley connects seamlessly to both the aft cockpit and forward lounge, enhancing the indoor-outdoor flow.
With oversized U-shaped seating, a forward-facing navigation station, and high-end finishes, the 4200 blends sophistication with comfort. Premium appliances, soft-close cabinetry, indirect LED lighting, and modern fixtures elevate the space, setting it apart from more budget-focused models. The generous aft cockpit offers ample space for dining, while the spacious forward lounge provides another social hub. The 4200’s expansive design ensures a more comfortable and inviting environment than its competitors, making it the ultimate choice for those seeking both luxury and functionality.
How It Stacks Up Against the Competition:
Bali 4.2: A Trade-Off Between Space And Comfort
The Bali 4.2 is well known for its innovative solid foredeck, which extends the lounging area forward. However, this design limits natural airflow, making the yacht feel enclosed, especially in warm climates. While Bali prioritizes open-plan living, its rigid structure reduces the seamless indoor-outdoor connection that the Moorings 4200 achieves with its spacious aft cockpit, forward lounge, and panoramic windows.
Lagoon 42: A Compact Salon With Reduced Visibility
Lagoon’s designs are popular among charter operators, but the Lagoon 42’s salon is noticeably smaller, with less seating capacity, a more enclosed layout, and fewer panoramic windows. It lacks the same open, airy feel that makes the 4200 ideal for entertaining and relaxation. Additionally, the helm station on the Lagoon 42 is more compact, limiting visibility when docking or underway, as compared to the well-positioned helm of the Moorings 4200.
Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42: Comparable Space At A Higher Price
The Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42 offers a well-balanced layout, but it comes at a significantly higher price point than the Moorings 4200. While it boasts similar living space, the Astrea 42 does not include the same level of premium finishes, high-end appliances, or seamless integration of indoor and outdoor areas that the Moorings 4200 delivers.
A Private Oasis at Sea: The Most Spacious Owner’s Suite in Its Class
Many 3-cabin catamarans offer an “owner’s cabin,” but few provide the level of space, privacy, and comfort found in the Moorings 4200. Spanning the entire starboard hull, this luxurious and expansive retreat includes a queen-sized bed, ample storage for extended stays, and a private lounge area perfect for reading, working, or simply enjoying the view. The master cabin also boasts an en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower—providing the kind of comfort and privacy rarely found in a catamaran of this size.
What truly sets this suite apart is the abundance of natural light. Expansive panoramic windows and strategically placed deck hatches not only enhance the sense of openness but also offer exceptional ventilation—ideal for those moments when you want to shut down the generator and simply enjoy the soothing sound of the waves.
With its thoughtful design, superior craftsmanship, and spacious layout, the Moorings 4200’s owner’s suite surpasses its competitors, offering unmatched comfort for both weekend escapes and extended voyages.
Why Our Owner’s Suite Stands Above the Rest
Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42: Premium Price, Less Space
The Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42 is a worthy competitor with its well-appointed owner’s suite, but it comes at a higher price point than the Moorings 4200, without delivering a substantial increase in space or amenities. The Moorings 4200’s expansive owner’s suite offers a more efficient layout, superior storage options, and higher-quality finishes, making it a smarter choice for those who want luxury, functionality, and value in one package.
Bali 4.2: Compromised Comfort for Open-Plan Living
The Bali 4.2 focuses on a spacious, open-plan design but sacrifices the owner’s suite in the process. Bali’s layout also lacks the refined storage solutions and privacy of the Moorings 4200’s dedicated full-hull owner’s suite. For owners who prioritize comfort and space, the Moorings 4200 delivers a more well-rounded living experience.
Lagoon 42: Smaller Owner’s Suite and Less Storage
The Lagoon 42 is another worthy competitor on the market, but its owner’s suite is smaller and more compact compared to the Moorings 4200, lacking the abundance of storage and larger en-suite bathroom.
