Helm

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. Combined with the convertible salon dinette, the 242 Coupe comfortably accommodates a family or two couples for weekend cruising. The enclosed fiberglass head includes a marine toilet, sink, vanity, shower, and holding tank—amenities rarely found aboard a trailerable cruiser of this size. 

The cockpit is where the 242 Coupe truly shines. 

Designed for entertaining, cruising, and fishing alike, it features: 

• Large self-bailing cockpit 

• Transom entry door 

• Removable cockpit table 

• Kenyon electric grill 

• Livewell 

• Fish box/cooler 

• Sport racks for paddleboards, kayaks, or gear 

• Integrated swim platform with stainless ladder

Open the aft bulkhead, rotate the salon seat aft, and the entire boat becomes one inviting social space.

The Cutwater 242 Coupe is one of those rare boats that truly does almost everything well. She is equally comfortable serving as a family weekender, a capable coastal cruiser, a fishing platform, or a relaxing waterfront retreat. It's easy to understand why the 242 Coupe remains one of the most sought-after pocket cruisers on the market.
