Overview

Black Diamond is a 2016 Formula 45 Yacht that offers a very comfortable ride and 2-cabin luxurious accommodations.

With an LOA of about 48 ft and a beam of nearly 14 ft, this 2016 Formula 45 Yacht is a remarkable example of the Formula quality you'd expect from this reputable builder.

PERFORMANCE

With her twin Volvo Penta IPS 600 (each 435HP) you can expect a top speed of over 30 knots at 3,500 RPM - and as is common with IPS drives, you'll find your most efficient speed not far from your top speed, at 3,250 RPMs and 27 knots and fuel burn of about 37GPH and a range of approximately 230 nm.

Her joystick maneuverability with dynamic positioning system will make it an easy task of docking even in the tightest quarters. 

SALON & HELM

The layout of the helm station is uncluttered and features analog fuel gauges above your twin flush-mounted 15" Raymarine multifunction displays. The double-wide helm seat is fitted with two individual flip-up bolsters. 

Black Diamond offers the open helm deck layout with removable enclosure which provides great protection from the elements . 

The salon offers plenty of headroom and features a very well-appointed portside settee. The opening side windows hinge from the back and therefore allow plenty of airflow when you need it.

INTERIOR

Belowdecks, the 45 Yacht offers luxurious materials in amenities that unmistakably stand the test of time; starting with an L-shape galley across from a U-shape settee with hardwood table. And the headroom is impressive at nearly 7 ft. A 46" flat screen TV and BOSE home theater system provides a superior level of entertainment.

EXTERIOR

Behind the helm on the starboard side is your cockpit wet bar with hot & cold water sink, trash bin, and refrigerator. Above is mounted a flatscreen TV for entertainment at the dock or at anchor. Finally to finish this area, an electric grill is mounted to the aft end of the counter just outside the enclosure. 

The aft cockpit is fitted with a U-shape settee with a removable table that can sit 6 people comfortably, while the outward facing seat is convertible into a sunpad. 

For your comfort, Black Diamond is also equipped with cockpit speakers and a retractable sun awning on a stainless steel frame that does a very good job at protecting the entire aft cockpit from the sun. 

Regular maintenance is facilitated by easy access to the engine room, either from the cockpit floor hatch or by the tilt of a button that lifts the transom hatch.

Access to the bow is possible from either side decks or the center windshield door. On the bow, two convertible sunloungers will give sunworshippers what they're looking for on the 45 Yacht! Not only do they offer various configurations, they are comfortable and remarkably large, at 6'8" long and 2'10" wide. That's substantial by any standard!

Synthetic teak in cockpit and hydraulic swim platform.

The exterior night lighting extends to the undersides of the bow and the side rails. 

SAFETY & ANCHORING
