The 45 Yacht is Formula's flagship sport yacht: 48'2" overall on a 13'11" beam, with the signature coupe-top hardtop, motorized glass sunroof, and walk-through windshield that gives an express cruiser an open-boat feel when the weather cooperates. A full Sunbrella camper enclosure with Eisenglass keeps her tight and dry when it doesn't. Twin chaise-style sunpads on the foredeck, a U-shaped cockpit lounge with wet bar and flat-screen TV, and synthetic teak decking make her as much an entertaining platform as a cruising boat. Below, the standard 45 Yacht layout offers two private staterooms, two heads, and sleeps up to six.
Standard equipment includes the factory generator, reverse-cycle air conditioning and heat, electric windlass, hydraulic swim platform, Raymarine navigation, ACVision satellite TV, cockpit stereo with transom-mount speakers, and Volvo's joystick docking system that makes single-handing this 31,800-lb yacht genuinely easy.
With only 359 hours, climate-controlled indoor storage, and all systems serviced and operational, "Stellar" is one of the cleanest low-hour 45 Yachts available today.

Overview
The Formula 45 yacht measures 48 feet 2 inches in length overall, with a beam of 13 feet 11 inches and a draft of 41 inches. It has a dry weight of 32,500 pounds and carries 350 gallons of fuel alongside 100 gallons of water. This vessel is designed to balance spaciousness with performance, offering a well-thought-out layout and efficient systems.
Exterior Design and Cockpit Layout
The cockpit of the Formula 45 is expansive, accessed by two steps and featuring wraparound seating with storage beneath each seat. Pedestal table bases are integrated for versatile use, and a centrally located hatch provides direct access to the engine room. On the starboard side, the cockpit includes storage compartments, a refrigerator freezer, sink, cooler, and a wastebasket positioned within a frame. Notably, the wastebasket's proximity to the sink could be improved by relocating it to maintain better hygiene. The lids on storage compartments are hinged with gas assist struts, allowing for easy opening without removal. The design emphasizes smooth, clean lines with matching surfaces and stainless steel handrails replacing traditional fiddles, ensuring secure handholds throughout the deck.
Helm Station and Bridge Features
The helm station is ergonomically arranged with two Raymarine E120 multifunction displays, autopilot, depth gauge, and Volvo Penta IPS 600 system readouts. Controls are grouped logically, including rocker switches for lights and functions, a stereo system mounted at the helm, VHF radio, horn button, spotlight remote, and joystick for IPS maneuvering. The digital throttle controls are positioned vertically to starboard, facilitating smooth operation without requiring excessive effort. Headroom at the helm is generous, with 10 inches of clearance above the operator’s head when standing, a notable advantage over many European designs. To port, a comfortable lounger is provided, though it lacks storage underneath to preserve headroom below deck. The cockpit benefits from extensive glass, enhancing visibility and natural light.
Power and Performance
During testing, the Formula 45 achieved a cruise speed of 31.9 miles per hour at 3,250 RPM, consuming 31.5 gallons of fuel per hour. At this speed, the yacht’s range is approximately 320 miles. The top speed recorded was 37.9 miles per hour at 3,650 RPM. These performance figures reflect the efficiency and power of the Volvo Penta IPS 600 propulsion system, delivering responsive handling and respectable speed for a vessel of this size.
Interior Living Spaces
The interior galley combines dark cherry stain cabinetry below with natural finishes above, creating a dual-tone aesthetic. Hinged panels and a recessed stove enhance safety and convenience, preventing cookware from sliding during movement. The galley features a dual-basin stainless steel sink and a large port light that floods the space with natural light. Adjacent to the galley, a C-shaped seating area converts into an additional berth, with an overhead clearance of seven feet, providing a comfortable living environment.
Private Accommodations
The master stateroom is accessed via a pocket door and includes a queen-size island berth flanked by hanging lockers on both sides. The en suite facilities are cleverly arranged with a stand-up shower to port and a separate water closet to starboard, allowing two people to prepare simultaneously. The guest quarters feature two separate berths, each 28 inches wide and spaced 12 inches apart, elevated 22 inches off the deck. The guest cabin offers ample headroom, nearly brushing the overhead at 5 feet 8 and a half inches tall, and includes a mirrored hanging locker. The guest head and shower are separated from the vanity area, with thoughtful details such as a multi-directional faucet enhancing usability.
Conclusion
The Formula 45 yacht presents a well-executed blend of performance, comfort, and thoughtful design details. Its spacious cockpit, ergonomic helm, efficient powertrain, and well-appointed interior accommodations make it a compelling choice in its class. Attention to finish and practical layout solutions contribute to a yacht that is both functional and inviting for extended cruising.
