Exceptionally clean, beautifully optioned, and clearly well cared for, this 2012 Formula 45 Yacht is an outstanding example of Formula's flagship yacht.
Finished in Formula's striking Black Cherry Flagship exterior with Latte and Morning Sand accents, this 45 Yacht has a sophisticated presence that still looks exceptional today. The interior is equally impressive, with rich Saddle seating, Baltic Birch flooring, Ash upper cabinetry, Deep Zebrano lower cabinetry, Bronzite Corian surfaces, and Formula's Tropical Sunrise décor package creating a warm, upscale cabin.
This boat shows extremely well. The cockpit, cabin, upholstery, cabinetry, flooring, and finishes have been maintained to a level that immediately separates it from the typical 2012 boat.
Powered by twin Volvo Penta IPS 600 diesels producing 435 HP each, with approximately 912 hours, she combines strong performance with the maneuverability that makes IPS-equipped yachts so desirable. Joystick control makes close-quarters handling and docking substantially easier.
The Westerbeke generator has approximately 615 hours.
This Formula was also ordered with a substantial list of premium factory options, including the hydraulic personal watercraft lift, teak-grain cockpit and swim-platform decking, Raymarine navigation package with HD radar and autopilot, satellite television, Sirius Weather, 30,000 BTU cockpit air conditioning, cockpit grill, cockpit refrigerator/icemaker, full aft cockpit enclosure, and more.

The Black Cherry Flagship hull is one of the defining features of this boat. Paired with Formula's Latte boot stripe and Morning Sand accent, it gives the yacht a rich, distinctive appearance without looking overstated.
The cockpit was designed for both entertaining and serious cruising. Forward and aft seating provides generous room for guests, while 30,000 BTU cockpit air conditioning makes the space considerably more comfortable when the weather refuses to cooperate.
Cockpit amenities include an electric grill, refrigerator/icemaker combination, HDTV/DVD system, cockpit speakers, Corian surfaces, full enclosure, and teak-grain vinyl decking extending through the cockpit and swim platform.
At the stern, the hydraulic personal watercraft lift is a particularly valuable factory option, providing an excellent setup for carrying a tender or PWC while cruising.
Helm & NavigationThe helm combines Formula's excellent visibility with the handling advantages of Volvo's IPS propulsion system.
Equipment includes:
Volvo IPS joystick control
Raymarine E-Series chartplotter
HD radar
Autopilot
Sirius Weather
U.S. charting
Compass
Windshield lifting bar
The IPS system provides intuitive joystick maneuvering for docking and close-quarters operation while maintaining the efficiency and performance expected from the twin diesel installation.
InteriorBelow deck, this Formula feels considerably more substantial than a conventional express cruiser.
The interior was originally ordered with Formula's upgraded Tommy Bahama Tropical Sunrise décor package, complemented by:
Saddle cabin seating
Baltic Birch flooring
Ash upper cabinetry
Deep Zebrano lower cabinetry
Bronzite Corian surfaces
Rich wood-grain finishes
Air conditioning
Hot water
Refrigerator
Marine head
Vacuum-flush sanitation system
The combination of cognac and saddle-toned upholstery, contrasting wood cabinetry, and lighter flooring creates a warm, comfortable interior that has aged remarkably well.
Most importantly, the condition is exceptional. The cabin is remarkably clean and presents as a yacht that has been cared for rather than simply used.

This is a beautifully kept, exceptionally comfortable yacht with the equipment to serve equally well for entertaining, weekends aboard, or extended cruising.

Formula 45 Yacht: 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.
