Cruisers Yachts 54 Cantius – More Than The Sum Of Its Parts

CY 54

Nov 23, 2016

In the December issue of Canadian Yachting, we review the new Cruisers Yachts 54 Cantius. Cruisers Yachts first introduced their Cantius express cruiser designs several years ago, with the Cantius line now including 41, 45, 48, 54 and 60-foot models.

All are distinguished by their huge sunroof and glass aft bulkhead that gives one continuous floor level from the helm back to the transom for maximum living space and a layout that’s great for entertaining.

The heading on the article says the Cruisers Yachts 54 Cantius is more than the sum of its parts; read the review to understand what we meant – this yacht has a feeling that is hard to describe but easy to enjoy. It is a big boat with a lot of accommodation and a host of luxury features, but the way it opens up like a runabout and the way it performs with the twin Volvo Penta IPS 950 engines is unexpected but stellar!

Enjoy the full review and lots more great photos in our December issue. If you’re not getting yours, subscribe HERE!

Tahiti—Updates from Paradise

By Zuzana Prochaska

I’ve been to Tahiti seven times—six on charter and once as crew for a couple of yachties. Over the 25 years that I’ve been visiting, it’s changed dramatically. Yet, inexplicably, it has also stayed the same.

Lounging on the flybridge of our Sunsail 454, I had time to think about this dichotomy as I toasted the nighttime skies of Bora Bora and specifically the Southern Cross, a constellation that never fails to hypnotize. As the Crosby, Stills & Nash (1982) tune reminds us:

…you understand now why you came this way.
