This low-hour express styled yacht was maintained in Canada in freshwater and stored indoors with climate control during the winter for the first half of her life. She is now located upriver in Fort Lauderdale and well maintained by an attentive owner with an open checkbook.
BLUE FANTASY has 1169 hours on her fuel efficient twin Volvo Penta D6 435 HP IPS with pod drives. She had recent mechanical services including full factory specified 1,000 hour Volvo Engine service and annual POD service.
Her brilliant blue hull shines like new thanks to a regular wash/wax/polish schedule. The yacht is easy and safe to operate with joystick handling with a range of almost 300 miles. BLUE FANTASY is able to easily cross over to the Bahamas and is also safe to move about while underway, due to the large walk through windshield and secure railing/grab bars.
The massive cockpit area is well protected and air conditioned by a 35,000 BTU Marine Air system, but also benefits from excellent natural air flow from the massive motorized sunroof. There is a large cockpit seating area and table that can be converted into a full aft sun pad. This featured area receives service from a wet bar with sink, mini fridge, ice maker, and Gaggenau cooktop.
BLUE FANTASY offers excellent interior headroom in the large salon/galley with full sized fridge/freezer. There is dining space for six at the starboard dining table with excellent ventilation and natural light. The yacht offers two spacious sleeping berths and two full heads with a convertible sofa sleeper in the large salon area. In addition, the aft VIP berth can be easily converted from twin beds to a queen berth with an adjustable filler support. The fine finished high gloss cabinets offer ample storage and the wood floors are in excellent condition. The light colored carpet in the aft cabin is well protected with a carpet cover.
All ship systems are in proper operating condition including: Garmin navigation, 1,400 lbs capacity hydraulic swim platform with tender included, KVH TracVision available, and two comfortable adjustable bow loungers.

Formula 45: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Formula 45 Yacht presents a refined evolution in luxury boating, distinguished notably by its optional enclosed helm deck featuring an F bulkhead and overhead. This design innovation offers generous headroom ranging from 7 feet 7 inches to 6 feet 8 inches, enhancing comfort and usability in various weather conditions. The yacht balances elegant styling with practical enhancements, making it a compelling choice for both entertaining and cruising.
Exterior Design and Cockpit Features
The exterior of the 45 Yacht is highlighted by the optional glass enclosure on the helm deck, which integrates seamlessly with the aft bulkhead. This enclosure includes opening side windows hinged at the back to channel fresh air into the cockpit, complemented by a 30,000 BTU air conditioning system to mitigate greenhouse effects. The port side features a versatile four-person settee with multiple seating orientations and convenient storage, including a charging station with 110 and 12-volt outlets. On the starboard side, a refreshment center equipped with a sink, hot and cold running water, waste basket, cooler, and a 2.2 cubic foot refrigerator supports onboard hospitality, with an option to install a grill if the aft bulkhead is not present. The aft cockpit maintains a self-draining deck and preserves a U-shaped seating arrangement that comfortably accommodates six people around a table designed for alfresco dining. Two sunning areas are available: a convertible aft-facing seat that transforms into a sun pad and a spacious foredeck with two adjustable chaise lounges measuring six feet eight inches by 34 inches, all protected by 24-inch high rails. Access to the foredeck is facilitated via side decks measuring 10.5 inches wide or through a center walk-through door in the windshield.
Interior Living Spaces
Below deck, the 45 Yacht offers a thoughtfully laid-out living area with exceptional headroom reaching six feet eleven inches, one of the highest in its class. The galley features an L-shaped design opposite a U-shaped settee finished in rich cherry wood with contrasting light Corian countertops. It includes a 6.8 cubic foot refrigerator, a 2.5 cubic foot freezer, a double stainless steel sink with a swivel faucet, and ample storage with dovetailed, self-closing drawers. A double burner stove is integrated under a flush Corian cover with a safety switch, complemented by a stainless steel convection microwave oven and dedicated wine glass storage. Natural light and ventilation are enhanced by portlights, skylights, and a vent over the stove. The salon is appointed with a Ralph Lauren interior featuring brown ultra leather and suede upholstery, a solid hardwood table, and a 46-inch flat screen TV with a home theater system. Comfort is further supported by an 18,000 BTU reverse cycle air conditioning system, accent lighting, and the ability to convert the dining table into an additional berth.
Private Accommodations
The yacht accommodates two staterooms and two heads, designed for privacy and convenience. The owner's stateroom, accessed via a pocket door, offers six feet one inch of headroom, a queen-size berth with a memory foam mattress, and abundant natural light from portlights and overhead sources. Storage is ample on both sides of the island berth, and a full-length mirror is positioned behind the door. The split head arrangement divides the owner's bathroom into two functional spaces: the starboard side houses an electric flush toilet, a deep basin sink with a wall-mounted faucet, a vanity seat covered in ultra leather, and a drawer beneath a large mirrored bulkhead; the shower is located separately on the port side, allowing two people to prepare simultaneously. The guest stateroom features twin berths convertible into a large berth measuring six feet six inches by five feet four inches, with headroom varying from six feet five inches to five feet seven inches. It includes a single basin sink with a wall-mounted faucet separate from the head, portlights on both sides, reading lights, a 7,000 BTU air conditioning unit, and a flat screen TV mounted on a bulkhead with adjustable viewing angles and storage behind.
Conclusion
Formula has made significant advancements in the 45 Yacht, enhancing luxury and all-weather practicality through thoughtful design and material upgrades. The optional glass enclosure on the helm deck improves usability in diverse conditions without sacrificing style or space. The yacht excels as an entertainment platform, with features such as extensive night lighting that extends to the bow and side rails, creating an inviting ambiance after dark. Overall, the 45 Yacht represents a sophisticated blend of convenience, comfort, and elegance, well suited for extended cruising and social gatherings.
