The M45 doesn’t have a marketing brief, rather a mission statement: to offer unsurpassed range and comfort to true cruisers, while reducing fuel consumption and therefore their environmental impact. It has a clear charge to give you the ability to travel long distances quickly and efficiently in a true liveaboard boat. Stylish lines differentiate this model from its competitors, but it's extremely practical deck layout and interior mean its beauty is far more than skin deep. The M45 is easy to operate for novices and experienced cruisers alike, and it’s remarkable fuel efficiency makes boat ownership a pleasure rather than a burden, all while considering our environment.

Form Stability
The natural form stability of a catamaran means the M45 requires no expensive and space-consuming stabiliser. This 45 footer is as peaceful at anchor as a much larger monohull, while also having low draft and easier maintenance. Twin IPS500 engines deliver class-leading performance. Their forward-facing propellers and electronic controls provide precise low speed manoeuvrability, “skyhook positioning or virtual anchoring”, as well as drastic performance improvements including; 20% increase in top speed, 40% increase in cruising range, 30% reduction in fuel consumption & CO2 emissions. There is no need for expensive and service-demanding bow thrusters.

This 45 footer is as peaceful at anchor as a much larger monohull, while also having low draft and easier maintenance. Twin IPS500 engines deliver class-leading performance through their forward-facing propellers. But spread apart aboard catamaran hulls, they deliver perfect low-speed maneuverability. Fixed positioning means you can hold position outside of a dock while preparing fenders for your approach, or spin the boat in a confined space. There is no need for expensive and service-demanding bow thrusters.
TRUE CRUISING
The M45 is uniquely designed to deliver enormous range, with the comfort requisite to make long journeys a pleasure. Optimised to operate at 1800-2000rpm, in harmony with the strengths of IPS engines, and also to operate on one engine for long periods, the M45 frees cruisers from the stress of constantly watching the fuel gauge and finding fuel docks. The enormous saloon and cockpit hold months worth of food and drinks supplies in premium comfort.
