Gib'Sea 242 for relaxing sailing days
What kind of boat is the Gib'Sea 242?
The Gib'Sea 242 is a compact fiberglass cabin sailboat from 1987, built by Gilbert Marine. With a length of 7.37 meters, a beam of 2.49 meters, and a draft of 1.60 meters, it is suitable for various inland waters in the Netherlands. The boat combines practical dimensions with the ambiance and capabilities of a true cabin sailboat. Thanks to its round bilge hull and light character, it gets underway quickly even in light winds.
This Gib'Sea 242 is ideal for sailors who want to venture out independently, as well as for families or couples looking for a comfortable boat for day trips and short stays on board. It offers four fixed berths and has an interior headroom of approximately 1.70 meters. This makes it an attractive choice for those seeking an affordable second-hand sailboat with both sailing characteristics and shelter.

How does this fiberglass cabin sailboat perform?
The Gib'Sea 242 is known as a light and pleasant sailing boat. Its sail plan consists of a mainsail, jib, genoa, and storm jib, allowing it to be used under various wind conditions. In light winds, it accelerates quickly, making it suitable for relaxed outings on lakes, ponds, canals, and other inland waters in the Netherlands.
Steering takes place outside via a tiller. This provides direct contact with the rudder and ensures a lively feel while sailing. The single rudder configuration complements the straightforward character of this boat. Both novice sailors and more experienced water sports enthusiasts can easily get to know her and trim her to their liking.
The aluminum mast and the four sails provide a versatile foundation for different sailing trips. The sails are in reasonable condition. A buyer would do well to inspect them carefully during a viewing, as with any used sailboat.
What accommodations does she offer on board?
Inside, the boat features a cozy cabin with a dining area, cooking stove, and mattresses. The four fixed berths make her suitable for a weekend on the water or a multi-day trip with two people or a small family. Her interior is practically arranged and is reported to be in good condition according to available information.
For water supply, there is a 20-liter water tank present. It also has a manual toilet. The toilet discharge does not go directly into open water. There is no heating available, making this Gib'Sea 242 particularly appealing for use in spring, summer, and early autumn.
The cabin provides shelter during rain showers and serves as a nice spot to eat together, relax or plan the route for the next day. Outside, the fiberglass cockpit tent enhances comfort on wet days by making the cockpit more usable when the weather turns bad and providing extra shelter while staying on board.
What engine and electrical facilities are present?
For propulsion, the Gib'Sea 242 is equipped with one Yamaha outboard motor from 2005. The motor has an output of 8 hp, two cylinders, and an electric start. It runs on gasoline and is reported to be operational according to provided details. The outboard motor offers sufficient support when maneuvering in harbors, in light winds, and while motoring through narrow or busy waterways.
The boat is equipped with both 12 volts and 220 volts systems. An inverter and shore power connection make it possible to practically use the electrical facilities on board when she is docked at the pier. In 2021, the electrical installation was completely renewed for both the 12-volt system and for 220 volts. This forms an important part of her recent usage history.
What navigation and safety equipment do you get?
On board are various navigation instruments available. The equipment includes a depth sounder, compass, log speedometer, and wind meter. This allows the crew to better monitor their course, speed, depth, and wind conditions while sailing. The combination fits well with use on inland waters where visibility and good preparation are important.
For safety purposes she includes a lifebuoy, manual bilge pump, and self-draining cockpit. A safety railing runs around her perimeter. Additionally present are a swim ladder, pulpit and pushpit seats, fenders, and lines. The boat comes with two anchors secured by line; however, an anchor winch is not included.
What recent maintenance has been done on the boat?
The Gib'Sea 242 was last taken out of the water for maintenance in 2025 when antifouling treatment was performed that same year. She was also fitted with completely new striping in 2025 which has given her exterior a fresh appearance.
According to provided information there are no signs of osmosis detected nor any known defects reported. As usual with boat auctions we advise interested parties to conduct thorough inspections themselves including checking the engine condition; assessing used sails, installations, and interior can best be done on-site.
Who is this Gib'Sea 242 suitable for?
This second-hand Gib'Sea 242 suits water sports enthusiasts looking for a complete yet manageable cabin sailboat for inland waters in the Netherlands. She is large enough for comfortable day trips and short vacations but remains compact and maneuverable in smaller marinas. Her light sailing characteristics make her accessible for beginners while also providing enough options through existing sails and navigation equipment for advanced sailors.
The boat has been used primarily for day sailing pleasure on inland waters; with her four berths, cooking facilities, cockpit tent, and motor she can be ready to enjoy right away!
