50 Cantius
The Cruisers 46 Cantius is a 46-foot express-style boat that was launched by the award-winning Wisconsin-based yacht-building firm Cruisers Yachts in 2019. An assertive profile with a sharp entry, sleek lines, trapezoidal hull glazing, and a curved hood give this vessel a superbly sporty feel, while sporty performance is guaranteed by a set of powerful Volvo Penta engines and a robust hull. The ideal vessel for at-sea entertainment, daytime exploration and longer expeditions, this yacht is bound to be a hit with those seeking sun, sea and surf.
A foredeck lounge for two features a pair of sunpads with pop-up headrests, while broad side-decks lead back to an aft-cockpit with an emphasis on entertaining. Not only will you find an L-shaped sofa with backrests in marine-grade upholstery out here, but a Release Marine table, integrated stereo-speakers, a hidden fridge and an extending Makefast sunshade provide everything needed to enjoy good drinks and good company in supreme comfort. Head to stern for a full-beam, hydraulically actuating swimming platform that conceals a Kenyon grill, a Vitrifrigo refrigerator and plenty of cup-holders for a genuine beach-club feel at the water’s edge.
Sliding glass doors, cresting wave side windows and a glazed sunroof keep the main-deck salon feeling light and breezy at all times, while décor options including Mocha Oak, brushed grey oak or satin-finished walnut add a touch of elegance. To aft there is an open galley with solid white countertops, a fridge-freezer unit, a microwave, a two-zone stove, a steel sink and plenty of cabinetry. Ahead of this there is a raised dining sofa to port surrounding a Hi-Lo table, while a twin sofa and an HDTV sit to starboard. Up front there is a bench seat facing a modern helm station boasting two Garmin multi-function display screens, Bennett trim-tab switches, joystick handling, a leather-lined steering wheel, a compass and VHF radio.
A popular two-cabin, two-head layout on the lower-deck means that this cruiser is a genuine option for more ambitious expeditions traversing coastal routes and inland waterways. A queen-sized bed in the owner’s stateroom amidship is joined by side-seating, sedate timber paneling, plush carpeting, a full-height closet and a walnut-lined en-suite bathroom with marbled accents, a ceramic bowl-sink, ample storage and a fully enclosed waterfall shower cubicle. The VIP stateroom sits towards the bow and comes with a skylight, a large double with hidden storage underneath, mirrored wall panels and access to a Jack-and-Jill head with a shower.
Twin 435HP Volvo Penta IPS600 diesel pod-drive engines prompt top speeds of up to 31 knots and smooth cruising speeds of 23 knots. Ease into an economy cruise of 6 knots, however, and you will enjoy a range of 1,235 nautical miles.
