Hardy 45 European built by Cornish boatbuilders Cockwells

Hardy 45 European

Introducing the new  Hardy 45 European – the ocean-going motor yacht with space and comfort for cruising inland waterways.

 

Designer: Cockwells in collaboration with Andrew Wolstenholme

Based on the classic Hardy 42 hull, renowned for its seakeeping capabilities, the Hardy 45 European effortlessly combines the robust design of the Hardy range with all the contemporary comforts and technologies of a modern motor yacht.

 

In calmer waters, the Hardy 45 European becomes the ideal inland cruiser, featuring a low-profile design and a folding radar arch to pass under bridges effortlessly. The helm is situated on the aft deck, but you can opt for an additional internal helm position if you prefer.

 

When cruising in open waters beyond the coast, this model seamlessly transitions between marine environments and comes into her own. Although this vessel easily traverses rivers and canals, her tried and tested hull design delivers the seakeeping of a rugged, ocean-going pilot boat – a unique quality in this class of vessel.

 

The Hardy 45 European is powered by twin Yanmar 440hp shaft drive engines as standard, reaching speeds of up to 28 knots and offering excellent fuel efficiency at displacement speed for long-range cruising. Although the standard model is equipped with twin engines, a single screw version is also available.

 

With her expansive aft deck helm, luxurious saloon and galley, full beam owner’s stateroom aft and comfortable double forward guest cabin, this model is ergonomically designed to provide plenty of personal space for all aboard. The stylish saloon and separate living quarters are fully equipped to support you in style and privacy on long adventures and days out on the water.

 

Every Hardy model is designed with outstanding seakeeping capabilities – ready to take on whatever kind of voyage you choose.
