Overview
Watermark is a rare, meticulously maintained example of the legendary Atlantic 42 performance catamaran. Built by the respected Lombardi Yachts, she embodies the Chris White philosophy of speed, safety, and ease of handling.
Unlike many vessels of this vintage, Watermark has undergone a comprehensive refit and continuous upgrade cycle from 2019 through 2025. With a repower completed in 2022, updated saildrives, and a complete electronics and power overhaul, she is a “turn-key” offshore machine. Since 2022, she has been dry-sailed, preserving the hull and machinery in top-tier condition.
March 2026 Update: The owner has recently bought another boat that better suits their needs and is willing to entertain reasonable offers.
