Cruisers Yachts Unveils New 2013 45 Cantius

Cruisers Yachts has  announced that a private unveiling of the 45 Cantius will take place at its 2013 annual international dealer meeting in Sturgeon Bay, Wis., held July 30 to Aug. 1, 2012, followed by a public debut at the Ft. Lauderdale International Boat Show this October. The stylish 45 Cantius, complete with Volvo Diesel IPS propulsion, is the sister yacht to both the 41 and the 48 Cantius; the Cantius line originally launched in 2010.

“Both the 41 and 48 really set a standard for engineering design in the Cantius family; it was up to our engineers to not only hit, but to exceed those standards with the 45.” said Mark Pedersen, president of KCS International Inc. “The 45 will stand in a league of its own by offering a newly designed open floor plan, which allows boaters to open up the glass enclosure at the cockpit and experience the feel of an express boat while enjoying the luxuries of a sedan.”

Both the KCS International team and dealers are excited for the launch of the 45 Cantius at the annual dealer meeting. “There was a tremendous response with the 41 and 48 Cantius’ and we anticipate the 45 Cantius won’t be any different. We are planning for the same level, if not greater, of enthusiasm,” said Ryan Crates of Crates Marine, last year’s Cruisers Yachts’ dealer of the year recipient. “Cruisers Yachts continues to redefine luxury and we are proud to offer our customers the high-quality boats the company designs and produces.”
