Cruisers Yachts 45 VTR (2026-)

3 x 300-hp Mercury Verado V8



Brief Summary

Constructed in Wisconsin by a storied American builder renowned for decades of premium marine engineering, this model embodies a proud tradition of quality manufacturing and owner-first design. Designed specifically for active boaters who desire a balance between high-spirited day boating and relaxed overnight cruising, the vessel easily transitions from fast open-water runs to peaceful anchorages. Its deep-V hull dynamics ensure a soft, stable ride through choppy seas while maintaining exceptional fuel economy and responsive maneuvering.

The main floor focuses on social connection with multi-position lounge seating, a shade-covered wet bar area, and an oversized swim platform ideal for boarding and water activity. Below, the lower deck reveals a bright, thoughtfully organized cabin featuring a full-standing head with shower, a convertible forward berth, and a comfortable mid-cabin guest nook. Customization options include high-output outboard or sterndrive power setups, integrated shade awnings, custom hull color schemes, and modern touchscreen helm electronics paired with joystick docking assist.

Key Features:

  • Adaptable Main Deck Seating: Broad, reconfigurable lounge chairs rotate and fold to create open dance floors, dining layouts, or rear-facing sun beds.
  • All-Weather Cabin Comfort: Below-deck climate control paired with high ceilings and skylights provides a comfortable retreat during sudden downpours or hot afternoons.
  • Low-Stress Helm Interface: Clear digital displays consolidate engine diagnostics, chartplotting, and sound system controls into a clean, intuitive layout.
  • Integrated Marine Entertainment: Fitted with multi-zone marine speakers, ambient LED lighting, and built-in coolers for effortless day trips with family and friends.
