Introducing the 2012 Cruisers Yachts 48 Cantius, a luxurious motor yacht crafted for a comfortable cruising experience. This vessel seamlessly combines the climate-controlled serenity of a sedan bridge with the agile handling of an express cruiser. Here’s an overview of its impressive specifications and standout features:
**Key Features**
- **Innovative Design:** The 48 Cantius showcases a groundbreaking ‘double salon’ layout, featuring an upper salon with a helm that overlooks a lower salon and galley, creating an airy atrium effect filled with natural light. Large windows, a six-foot sunroof, and triple sliding glass doors enhance the spacious ambiance.
- **Cockpit and Deck:** The aft deck boasts U-shaped seating with a table, a wet bar equipped with a refrigerator, icemaker, and grill, all complemented by exquisite teak decking. Dual side gates and molded steps ensure easy access to the cockpit and side walkways, while the generous bow features a chaise lounge, windlass, and complete bow railing.
- **Upper Salon:** This area includes an entertainment center, a wet bar with a retractable TV, and a U-shaped settee with a fixed table. The helm provides 360-degree visibility and advanced controls for ease of navigation.
- **Lower Salon and Galley:** The full-service galley includes modern appliances and an L-shaped sofa with an adjustable table, while the atrium design floods the space below deck with natural light.
- **Staterooms:** The yacht features a full-beam master stateroom midship with a queen bed and ensuite head with shower, along with a forward VIP stateroom that has an island berth and ensuite head.
- **Engine Room:** Accessible via a cockpit hatch, the engine room offers stand-up space, a generator with a sound shield, and clearly labeled mechanicals and wiring for straightforward maintenance.
- **Performance:** Powered by Volvo IPS pod drives, the yacht delivers smooth handling, minimal bow rise during acceleration, excellent performance in rough waters, and low vibrations. The IPS drives significantly enhance maneuverability at the dock and stability while turning.
**Reviews and Reception**
- **Design Innovation:** The 48 Cantius is celebrated for its forward-thinking design, particularly the atrium-style lower salon and extensive glass usage for natural lighting, setting a new standard in the industry. Reviewers appreciate its seamless integration of indoor and outdoor spaces, making it perfect for entertaining.
- **Comfort and Versatility:** The yacht is recognized for merging the climate-controlled comfort of a sedan bridge with the sporty handling of an express cruiser, making it suitable for a variety of climates, from the Great Lakes to subtropical areas. The open layout and sunroof create a liberating atmosphere, even in extreme temperatures.
- **Build Quality:** The yacht’s construction is noted for its durability, utilizing high-quality materials such as stainless-steel fittings, isophthalic laminating resin, and methyl-methacrylate adhesives (Plexus). Hatches and lids are RTM-molded for strength and weight efficiency, with all mechanicals clearly marked for maintenance.
- **Performance:** Testers report exceptional handling, with the IPS drives facilitating easy docking and the boat maneuvering like a deep-V hull. The ride is smooth, with minimal noise and vibration, enhancing the overall cruising experience.
- **Critiques:** Some reviewers suggested extending the handrails along the salon roof for improved accessibility at entry points, a concern Cruisers intends to address. While no significant flaws were consistently reported, trade-offs include a reduction in flybridge space and high-speed performance in favor of cruising efficiency and an entertaining-focused design.
