2007 Formula 45 Yacht

Step through the cockpit and you’ll feel why this 45-footer has such a loyal following. The wide beam gives you a surprisingly social deck layout, with plenty of seating wrapped around a solid cockpit table for sunset drinks or casual meals underway. Below, the cabin has the feel of a much larger yacht, with high-gloss joinery, generous headroom, and a real two-stateroom/two-head layout that works for couples or small families. Large hull windows keep the salon bright even on gray days, and the galley has the storage and counter space to support long weekends aboard. Add in the solid, quiet ride Formula is known for and you’ve got a cruiser that feels composed and confident when the weather turns.

A Formula 45 Yacht is particularly well suited to local waters that demand both speed and seakeeping. The hull has the heft and deadrise to slice through afternoon chop, yet it still delivers the efficient cruise you want for longer day runs to quiet anchorages or waterside restaurants. The layout shines in areas with changeable weather: the enclosed helm and generous cockpit protection let you extend your season comfortably, while the swim platform and open aft cockpit are ideal for warm-weather raft-ups and swimming. For boaters running crowded channels and busy harbors, the responsive handling and excellent helm visibility take the stress out of close-quarters maneuvering.
