Research 2012 - Formula Boats - 45 Yacht

There's a New Way to Enjoy the Best of LUXURY Boating... the 2011 Formula 45 YACHT

The extraordinary Formula 45 Yacht fulfills every expectation of superlative quality and smooth, powerful performance. The classic Formula design lines emanate an overall grace and beauty that immediately attracts attention and admiration.

The 45 Yacht is equally suited to day cruising with family and friends, enjoying several days on the water or extended cruising. The coupe-top design features a totally integrated curved windshield, allowing a panoramic vista in the absence of forward bracing, an unprecedented feature in this yacht class.

The curvilinear lounge forward accommodates several to converse with the captain and companion and enjoy the extensive view while cruising. Ergonomics for the entire helm area are excellent whether sitting, standing or leaning back against the individually adjustable, double wide command seats. Versatile U-shaped lounge seating includes two dual-height, Corian-topped tables, and new to the 45 Yacht, an aft-facing lounge seat also converts to a lay-down sun pad at anchor. The integrated L-shaped wetbar, full-feature AM/FM/CD stereo and available cockpit 26" LCD HDTV/DVD player expand open air entertainment possibilities, while underwater blue LED lighting is an interesting option.

The 45 Yacht cabin presents smart, contemporary design and a wealth of amenities, including handsome woodgrain- finish flooring, rich cabinetry treatments and an elite selection of décor possibilities, including Ralph Lauren® and Tommy Bahama® designer interior options.

The Ultraleather™ U-shaped lounge along with its high-gloss inlaid table and two upholstered pedestal stools welcome larger dining or refreshment gatherings. The 40" 1080p LCD HDTV with Blue-Ray player and Bose® Lifestyle® surround-sound home theater system offer spectacular entertainment possibilities. With every necessity at hand, the contemporary L-shaped galley encourages delicious creations and is appropriately complemented by Formula's flawlessly handcrafted Corian® counter top.

Owners enjoy seclusion in the forward stateroom with its generous center-line bed, enhanced by a shape conforming Sensus® foam mattress and combination 22" LCD HDTV/DVD player. The owner's head compartment is separate from the shower area, and both are entered only from that stateroom.

The guest stateroom aft offers a combination 22" LCD HDTV/DVD unit, vanity with Corian counter top and stainless steel sink, along with an adjoining head compartment, convenient for daytime and overnight guests alike.

Best of all, the Formula 45 Yacht is recognized for superior marine engineering throughout. There is a definite advantage in the reliability built into every Formula that makes all the difference. Formula invites you to experience the many positive ways this TOP QUALITY DIFFERENCE benefits Formula owners year after year.
