NOVUS 440
DEFINING ELITE PERFORMANCE
Built to embody the spirit of offshore excellence, the SKIPPER 42NC is the ultimate expression of power, elegance, and uncompromising design. As the largest model in the Skipper Powerboats lineup, the 42NC represents the perfect balance between high-performance engineering and refined Mediterranean luxury.
Its imposing presence, combined with the legendary 4-step ventilated hull, delivers unmatched speed and efficiency — reducing drag, enhancing stability in high-speed turns, and offering a smoother, drier ride even in challenging conditions.
Designed to Impress at Every Angle
The 42NC’s bold profile is defined by flowing lines, aerodynamic hardtop, and the iconic reverse collar arch. It commands attention at any marina — but it’s at sea where it truly shines. The extended deck layout includes three full rows of ergonomically designed seats, a large aft sunbed, a full wet bar, and a powerful sound system to create the ultimate on-water lounge.
Inside the console, you’ll find a spacious double bed, WC with sink and shower, and ample storage — proving that performance and comfort can coexist beautifully.
Built for Serious Power
Accommodates up to 3×450 HP outboards or 2×500R Mercury Racing engines
Advanced hull geometry designed for high-speed stability and low fuel consumption
Options for carbon epoxy construction, joystick piloting, thermal night vision, and more
A Chase Boat. A Statement. A Masterpiece.
Whether used as a superyacht chase tender, a VIP hospitality vessel, or a standalone offshore cruiser, the 42NC is designed to turn heads and leave a lasting impression.
It is more than a boat — it’s the peak of Skipper’s philosophy: driven by design, engineered for performance, and tailored for those who demand the best.

Reverse Collar Arch
Skipper 34NC is the first Skipper boat with reverse collar arch and its highest point is in the middle of the vessel. Nowadays this arch is a trademark for Skipper boats, as all models have the same style.
Innovation That Moves You Forward
At Skipper, technology is more than a feature-it’s our foundation.
Our exclusive 4 Steps Technology hull, developed entirely in-house by the Skipper Design Team, represents a revolutionary leap in marine engineering, integrating the industry’s only 4-Step Hull – a ground breaking feature that optimizes hydrodynamic lift, stability, and control. Developed through rigorous testing, both in scaled-down models and full-size prototypes, 4 Step Technologyharnesses computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and cutting-edge algorithms to fine-tune every element of the hull’s profile.
Central to 4 Step Technology is the precise calibration of four steps, strategically positioned to minimize drag and maximize lift.
Strake geometry and variable deadrise distributionfurther enhance stability and handling, delivering exhilaratin g acceleration, superior control, and a remarkably dry ride-even in challenging offshore conditions.
Thanks to this innovative hull, the boat generates an air cushion beneath as it moves through the water, dramatically reducing hydrodynamic drag and creating a soft, almost floating sensation— offering unmatched comfort and efficiency.
Each step deflects water outwards, not upwards, away from the hull sides,
keeps the deck and passengers dry,even at speeds
At SKIPPER POWERBOATS, we believe that your boat should be an extension of your personality. That’s why we offer extensive customization options, from luxurious materials to cutting-edge electronics. Work with our team to design a boat that reflects your unique style and meets your specific needs.
