The Cantius line debuted in 2011 with the launch of the 48 Cantius, and since then the legend has done nothing but grow. This series represents Cruisers Yachts’ dedication to building yachts that are comfortable, safe, and perfect for family outings or entertaining. The Cantius line currently ranges from the 39 EC up to the 60 Fly.

They are all built at Cruisers Yachts’ newly acquired, state-of-the-art Pulaski, Wisconsin, facility, which can handle boats up to 73 feet in length. Cantius models stand out for their interior volume, which is a testament to smart design.

Through the implementation of knowledge gleaned from decades of experience, each Cantius model offers accommodations that are best in class in terms of spaciousness and ergonomics — which outshine the layouts of much larger competitors.Those interiors, when combined with high-level engineering, world-class craftsmanship, and a ride that is second to none, have made Cantius models a favorite among knowledgeable boaters for years.

Cruisers Yachts 45 Cantius

There’s no lack of coupe-style, pod-powered express cruisers from which to choose. Beneteau, Cruisers Yachts, Regal, Sea Ray , Sessa and Tiara represent just some of the players in this venue.

However, if you’re seeking a single-level cockpit between helm and aft lounge, your choices narrow. The field shrinks again if you require bridge clearance of less than 12 feet. And if you want a climate-controlled upper salon, separated from the cockpit by a standard hard enclosure instead of canvas, you’ve just picked your boat: Cruisers Yachts 45 Cantius.

Well, maybe not so fast. Regal’s 46 Sport Coupe ($890,000 powered like our test boat) can be fitted with an optional glass enclosure for $16,750.

Still, the 45 Cantius stands out in many ways. Cruisers Yachts’ design team married the best elements of a sedan to those of an express, resulting in a cruiser unlike any currently available. The key to the layout is the hardtop, or, if you’ll excuse an old term, the deckhouse. Under its roof you’ll find the boat’s galley, upper salon and helm station. The aft bulkhead of the ’house consists of a swinging glass door and a wide half-height hinged window.

Open, these create a large flag-shaped opening, ensuring free egress between cockpit and the salon/galley/helm. It’s all on one level, from the transom lounge to the windshield. This delivers the layout of a big express boat, making it perfect for entertaining a crowd. There’s copious airflow from the retractable sunroof and the open aft bulkhead. Also, with the aft bulkhead open, you can freely communicate with those in the cockpit while at the controls. This is as great for socializing as it is for directing crew with line-handling duties while docking. Finally, a hinged door with a retainer is safer than the sliding patio doors sometimes seen aboard boats today.

The cockpit features a 2-foot-wide transom access door and steps leading to 12-inch-wide side decks that run to the bow. Grab rails are sturdy and well positioned. Going forward is safe and easy.

Cockpit amenities include a grill and refrigerator and the ability to “serve through” the opened aft bulkhead from the galley proper to the cockpit. The aft lounge converts electrically to a sun lounge, with kickstands serving to create recliners if so desired. Our tester boasted the retractable sunshade that extended to cover the entire cockpit.

Now, with the galley up instead of belowdecks, Cruisers Yachts could really go hog-wild incorporating living quarters that wow.

The master stateroom aboard the 45 Cantius offers a luxurious place to sleep, the convenience of an en suite head, and a place in which waking hours can be spent pleasantly and privately when other crew are aboard. Decor here is “deco,” evidenced by the angular geometry of the berth and the deck-hatch surround and valances. Doors are solid walnut, there is access to the queen-size berth from both sides, and the headroom taped at 6 feet 7 inches.

Aft are two more staterooms and a second head with shower stall. For a cruising couple, the convertible chaise lounges provide a quiet reading nook as light streams in via post-glazed hull windows. When entertaining, one of these staterooms serves as media room, perfect for movie nights.

The compact size of the twin 375 hp Volvo Penta IPS 500 pods combines with the upper galley to allow for this layout. These also delivered confident control of the boat in rough seas. Back at the dock, the joystick eases the stress of docking. And, with the aft bulkhead closed, sound levels are hushed, even running at high speed into the wind.

Marginal electrical power often irks me when inspecting cruising boats. That, however, was not the case aboard the 45 Cantius. I noted with approval that Cruisers Yachts wired this boat for 50-amp shore power. Additionally, this boat’s generator puts out 13.5 kilowatts, whereas 9 kW or 10 kW gennies are too often seen aboard boats this size. Both facts mean you’ll be able to run more gear whether dockside or swinging on the anchor rode, with less need to play “electricity cop” with your crew. The power largesse also allows for the installation of the massive 40,000 Btu reverse-cycle heat and air conditioning, divided into three separate systems throughout the boat.

The layout, propulsion and systems aboard the Cruisers Yachts 45 Cantius integrate and accentuate each other in that rare way that makes the sum equal more than the parts of the whole. That allows this boat to work great as either a long-term cruiser or as day-tripper big enough to handle open water and a large crowd of friends.

Cruisers Yachts 45 Cantius

Cruisers Yachts has perfected the art of building a luxury motor yacht which was proven with the launch of the 60 Cantius and flybridge version. What the team has done with the 45 Cantius is something new altogether. Combining the feel and styling of an express boat, with the comfort and luxury of a sedan, the 45 Cantius is a new approach to day boating and entertaining. Whether sunbathing while your captain cruises the intracoastal or enjoying a sunset meal at anchor, the 45 Cantius has plenty of opportunities to improve your experience while on the water.

Aboard the Cruisers Yachts 45 Cantius, the spacious and integrated aft cockpit features wrap-around seating that converts to a sun lounge with fore/aft bolsters. A perfect blend of luxurious and organic comfort is brought to you by the Amtico flooring with the amenities needed to entertain with ease. the designers of the 45 deliberately engineered the cockpit to have two removable cockpit tables, an ice chest on the starboard side, and a hot/cold cockpit shower giving you the amenities needed for a remarkable time on the water. Available cockpit options include a grill, refrigerator, and stools if you're interested in a custom experience aboard the 45 Cantius. And if the sun is a little too bright while enjoying the cockput, deploy the fashion-forward shade that extends 6-feet out. Your guests will love this innovative feature that comes standard on the 45, particularly that it is all operated with a push of a button.

The interior is spacious for a 45' boat and the intelligent design of the layout plays a major role. The salon, galley, dining area, helm and cockpit are all on the same deck so moving around the boat and still being a part of the fun is easy. The large windows on both sides of the 45 bring in a lot of natural light and offer amazing views. The galley features ample storage, a two-burner electric stove, microwave/convection oven, refrigerator/freezer, sink with spray faucet and a 32" flat screen TV, you'll never want to find shore again. 

If an overnight trip with guests is in your plans, fear not. The Cruisers 45 Cantius has two staterooms and two heads, all of which are unusually large for a boat this size. The master cabin has a queen berth with cedar-lined closets close by, a private head, an side windows and a skylight to let in the breeze.
