Owner Experience Review
Introduced in 2014, the Cantius 45fromCruisers Yachtshas been used widely for family cruising, weekend entertaining, and coastal hops. Expert reviews consistently point to a two-stateroom, two-head arrangement that works well for two couples, highlighted by a mid-cabin described as one of the largest in class with a queen berth and convertible recliners. An optional washer/dryer and generally praised aesthetics ("He loved it. It is a beautiful boat.") reinforce its appeal for longer weekends.
The open main deck—with its aft glass bulkhead and electric sunroof—creates a bright, social environment that pairs well with the large cockpit and sunlounge. Owners and reviewers also note that this openness increases exposure to underway noise and occasional rattles; one forum owner called it "very loud and kind tin sounding," while another remarked it "felt MUCH lighter and smaller" compared with other cruisers.
On the water, expert tests report responsive, smooth steering, praised joystick docking, and a roughly 27–31-knot cruise depending on IPS setup and load, with good manners when conditions get rough. Typical power is twin Volvo Penta D6 with IPS500/600, delivering excellent control but with pod/IPS servicing acknowledged as costly by owners. Reviewers note service points like the power panel are easy to access, and used listings often reference turbo work, signaling that turbo service occurs in the market. Forums also document a catastrophic D6/IPS failure on a related 48, cited by owners as a cautionary datapoint rather than a model-wide verdict for the Cantius 45.
