2005 Formula 48 Yacht

Step aboard this 48 and the first thing you notice is how intelligently the space is laid out. The wide beam gives you a salon that feels more like a small apartment than a cabin, with generous headroom and plenty of natural light through the hull and deckside windows. The helm is a true driver’s seat, with excellent sightlines forward and aft, making close-quarters maneuvering less stressful. Down below, the en suite layout for each stateroom keeps guests comfortable and gives everyone a bit of privacy. On deck, the extended swim platform is ideal for setting up chairs, managing a tender, or turning the afternoon into an impromptu swim party.

This 48-foot express is particularly well-suited to the varied conditions you encounter here. The hull design offers a confident, dry ride when afternoon chop kicks up, yet still slips comfortably into shallower anchorages compared with larger motor yachts. Efficient diesels and a manageable overall length make it realistic for an owner-operator to explore further without constant visits to the fuel dock. The generous cockpit and open layout shine during long, warm-weather days when most of your time is spent outside. Below, real separation between cabins and living space makes extended stays onboard far more pleasant, whether you’re weekending close to home or stretching into longer coastal runs.
