2005 Formula 48 Yacht48ft

THE FORMULA 48 YACHT MOVES OUT AT A LIVELY PACE.  A Formula Yacht is responsive, smooth, stable and dry.  Each Yacht delivers the excellent performance and handling characteristics you expect in a Formula. The Yacht hull design ensures a balanced running attitude and a comfortable, solid ride for all aboard

THE 48 YACHT COCKPIT IS DESIGNED FOR COMFORT AND PLEASURE.  Versatile, surround lounge seating with tables and filler cushions converts to a large sun lounge. The integrated wet bar with Corian® countertop, molded sink, cooler storage, trash receptacle and a refrigerator with ice maker is a convenient center for refreshments anytime.  Throughout the cockpit, polished stainless steel drink holders are within easy reach.

THE 48 YACHT OFFERS SAFE, EASY ACCESS TO THE FOREDECK.  Formula’s beautifully curved windshields are designed with a center walk-through to the foredeck. The steps are properly proportioned and protective railing offers safe access.  This popular feature is a real plus in handling forward lines and for docking.

With its sleek styling, unique features and creative versatility, the 48 Yacht offers the finest in luxury yachting. The spacious cockpit, designed especially for long-range cruising, is also an ideal setting for daylong excursions with friends and family. Expansive seating arrangements encourage relaxed conversation and good times together. Versatile surround lounge seating aft includes two Corian® tables for refreshments, lunches and other friendly gatherings, and with special cushions in place, the lounge and lowered tables convert to a full-length sun pad. Port and starboard seat sections stow away revealing molded, side-entry boarding steps. Throughout the cockpit, smooth, fiberglass-lined storage is abundant. Dedicated storage for tables, canvas and PFDs is built into matching port and starboard lockers. The full-width hydraulic swim platform accommodates today’s newer, extended personal watercraft. The platform also serves as a stage for an inflatable if preferred. Launching and reboarding is easy with the raising and lowering capabilities of the platform. Aft trunk storage is accessed from the swim platform through a large, curved fiberglass, pneumatically assisted hatch. Specially designed fender storage with extra capacity for gear is this compartment’s forte. The entire trunk raises for access to the walk-through engine room. Entertaining on board the 48 Yacht is an absolute pleasure. The L-shaped cockpit wetbar/beverage center to starboard provides a molded sink with flush lid, refrigerator, ice chest, trash receptacle and available cockpit grill, all concealed under the Corian countertop. A weatherproof AM/FM CD player located near the helm enhances any occasion with musical selections. Four speakers and a subwoofer ensure that exceptional clarity of sound is experienced by everyone in the cockpit.

At the helm, impressive gauges with chrome bezels are arranged in a logical, easily read display. Switches and electronic controls are strategically positioned to achieve excellent helm ergonomics for the captain. Instrument panels are handsome burl wood-grain and allow ample space to include the extensive array of full-size Raymarine™ electronics that Formula offers and installs. The helm also incorporates vents for the available cockpit air conditioner that provides cool relief on hot days. A sculpted, curvilinear lounge on the port side is proportioned so that two couples can enjoy the company of the captain and first mate while underway or at rest. Molded fiberglass steps with a 316L stainless handrail lead to the foredeck through the center walkthrough windshield panel. This important convenience and safety feature is a well-established Formula benchmark. Twin sun pads with individual safety rails invite lounging while drifting or at anchor. Nonskid surfaces plus bow rails enhanced by mid-level lifeline cables outline the perimeter of the deck. The anchor windlass is concealed under a flush lid at the bow platform along with the stainless steel anchor and a coiled-hose, freshwater wash-down system

The cabin is entered through a curved acrylic sliding door. The spacious salon area is elegant, airy and replete with luxurious appointments. The entire sweeping view is rich with masterful design features such as high-gloss, sequentially book-matched American cherry cabinetry, elaborately textured fabrics and satin nickel fixtures throughout. Overhead, twin circular skylights are uniquely incorporated into a raised oval ceiling accent, lending natural light to both salon and galley by day. By night, mood lighting outlines this intriguing focal point. 

The opulent curved lounge to port in luxurious Ultra leather™ or supple, full-grain leather is contoured for relaxed comfort. The high-gloss, inlaid cherry dining table features leaves that can be removed and placed in their own storage compartment. Removing the leaves reveals a Corian® cocktail table that can be raised or lowered to suit the occasion. As a clever complement, two movable upholstered stools can be positioned opposite the lounge, and while underway, the stools are captured neatly beneath the cocktail table. The combination of lounge and table also converts to a berth. The salon area creates a perfect environment to view the design-integrated 26˝ widescreen LCD TV/ monitor that brings entertainment to life with industry-leading digital technology. The Bose® Lifestyle® 35 DVD/CD unit provides the finest quality audio and video selections. Surround sound stereo infuses the salon with your musical choice through a 5.1- channel Bose entertainment system. The Bose home theater system featuring five double-cube speakers elevates sound definition to the highest degree. A dramatically lit showcase facing the salon displays a wine rack with tempered stemware and tumblers.

The U-shaped galley to starboard is a culinary inspiration. High-gloss cabinetry is genuine American cherry with the wood grain sequentially book matched in each succeeding panel. Drawers are solid maple with dovetailed construction. The patterned, precise fit is the result of expert design and execution. Galley capacity is more than generous, plus underneath the beautiful hardwood maple flooring inlaid with ebony is a special storage pantry complete with three portable units to hold supplies for extended cruising. A continuous, handcrafted Corian countertop, double bowl stainless sink with Corian covers, and large, cherry-paneled refrigerator with separate freezer compartment confirm the galley’s top status. The array of gourmet equipment also includes a recessed 3-burner range with Corian cover, convection/ microwave oven, coffee maker, exhaust fan and two concealed Luxury Yachting at its Finest.

Forward, the owners’ private stateroom features a spacious centerline bed with extraordinary gear storage and drawers underneath. At the touch of a switch, the upper portion of the bed raises to watch TV or to read. Overhead, the hatch is fitted with a rollout screen and privacy shade. Two mirrored hanging lockers, paneled with cedar, illuminate as the door opens. The charming vanity with full-width drawer and upholstered swing-out seat features a large mirror outlined by theater-style makeup lights. The entertainment centerpiece is a Bose remote control stereo and DVD/CD player. Two Bose speakers produce lifelike stereo sound. Highest quality visuals are provided by the Zenith 17˝ widescreen LCD TV/monitor. The owners’ stateroom is also independently air-conditioned. The owners’ exceptionally large, private head compartment is entered from that stateroom only. Superior amenities include a contoured, high-gloss cherry vanity with Corian® countertop and molded sink, a deep, mirrored medicine cabinet and a porcelain head unit. The circular shower with curved, acrylic sliding door offers both a hand-held and overhead rain shower. A curved Corian shower seat and Corian flooring are handsome applications.

The private guest stateroom/den aft is the perfect multifunctional room to accommodate varying activities on board. The Ultra-leather or genuine leather L-shaped lounge converts easily to either twin beds or a queen-size bed. Large dovetailed maple drawers are located beneath the lounge, and there is also a cedar-lined hanging locker. A third air conditioner serves this stateroom. A Zenith 17˝ widescreen LCD TV/monitor/ DVD player with game ports makes this an ideal location for video gaming. The 48 Yacht also accommodates the combination washer/dryer in the aft utility locker
