At 138 Feet, the GX42 Puts Efficiency First

· 1 min read

The GX42 is a new 138-foot superyacht with a hybrid power system. Its defining feature is that it chooses which source of power to draw on according to the passage ahead. That makes economy the core of the design for a yacht this size. For owners comparing new builds, it's a specification worth asking about early.

With reporting from Robb Report Marine.
