Cruisers Yachts just launched two new models to its VTR line, the 45 VTR and 45 VTR EC, ahead of their debut at the 2026 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. Both VTR models measure 45 feet LOA and carry a 13-foot-10-inch beam. Notably, the main deck is single-level.

The new models share a hybrid stepped hull developed with DLBA Naval Architects, with a fine entry, optimized strakes and quasi-steps designed to reduce drag, improve efficiency and deliver a smooth ride. Onboard, both VTR models feature a private dry head with separate shower, summer kitchen, quilted upholstery and a sliding lower-cabin door.
