Cruisers 455 Express Motoryacht
- By George Sass, Jr.
- Updated: October 4, 2007
Through the boiling haze and crowded docks at Ft. Lauderdale’s Pier 66 Marina last spring, I was having trouble finding the Cruisers 455 Express Motoryacht. Without the benefit of knowing her slip number, I relied on my interpretation of what a traditional express should look like. I had almost walked right past the Cruisers 455 when I caught a glimpse of the name printed across her transom. Seeing something a little different from a typical express boat was a pleasant surprise.
As I gazed from the finger pier, it was apparent that the boat’s name was true to her mission: Express Motoryacht. With its new 455, Cruisers Yachts has successfully combined the advantages of a single-level outdoor living space with the interior accommodations and volume of a flying-bridge motoryacht. This hybrid is topped off with solid performance in an easily driven hull.
“This is what we call a crossover design”, said Don DePouw, vice president of marketing for Cruisers Yachts, acknowledging the company’s success with express models and flying-bridge motoryachts.
I agree with DePouw’s description. If you close your eyes when boarding and open them after stepping onto the helm deck, you may think you’re on a standard express yacht. For instance, abaft the helm is very express-like seating, which includes aft- and forward-facing bench settees. A wet-bar unit with a refrigerator and ice maker is adjacent to the settee area, keeping you from having to pop below for refreshments and snacks.
Cruising yachtsmen sometimes feel like bus drivers isolated on the bridge as guests sit back and chat. The helm on the 455 eliminates that problem, since it is just forward of the after seating and within earshot of guests lounging on the after settees. Moreover, another L-shape settee is directly across from the helm on the port side, allowing guests to see the action forward and talk to the captain. This is also a functional layout for families with kids, because toddlers can be secured within the helm deck.
The standard overhead configuration for the helm deck is a hardtop above the after section and a soft bimini over the helm. Our test boat had an optional full hardtop, which is the way to go, I think. Air conditioning, also optional, will expand your living area. Southerners will appreciate the sun protection and heat relief afforded by the hardtop and air conditioning. On crisp fall afternoons, the reverse-cycle heat can remove some of the chill from the air, expanding the cruising season for Northern boaters. The addition of a few deck chairs will create a second saloon-one that, for many owners, will serve as the primary living space.
The helm is tough to improve upon. One clever item is the keyless touch pad, which enables the owner to use a pass code to start the engines. This is especially nifty considering the openness-and thus the accessibility-of the helm deck. Engine gauges are in the line of sight, and the single-lever Volvo EDC controls are in a natural position, allowing easy, one-hand adjustments. The helm also has a comfortable double seat for the skipper and a companion.
Access to the decks is through one of two side doors. The side decks are a little tight, but the payoff is below, in the saloon. I would like to see a boarding gate with solid rails instead of two lengths of chain. Our test boat had a sunpad forward, another option I would suggest, especially if you are fully enclosed by the hardtop aft. The windlass is concealed in a forward locker, along with space for fenders. Two side cleats on each side were a nice surprise, since they allow forward and aft spring lines to be easily rigged. This is a feature often overlooked on much larger yachts. Exterior wind scoops wrapping around the after portion of the helm deck are designed to keep wandering fumes from flowing into the area. True enough, during a variety of maneuvers we did not experience a hint of station-wagon effect.
During our sea trial off of Ft. Lauderdale, the 455 responded quickly to the Teleflex steering and turned in one boat length. The Cruisers design team has developed a dry, well-performing hull. The twin 480 hp Volvo TAMD 75P EDC diesels pushed our test boat to a top speed of 28.9 knots and a cruising speed in the low 20-knot range. Twin 465 hp Yanmar diesels are optional, although the Volvos are a solid choice. The low center of gravity afforded by the express profile means the 455 is more stable than some motoryacht designs with similar interior volume, another advantage of the hybrid design.
The cliché that every boat is a compromise holds true for the 455. In order to maximize interior volume and headroom, the engineroom space below the saloon is a little tight. The space and systems are well executed, and Cruisers uses quality equipment. Also, every wire and component is neatly coded and labeled. Getting around and trying to service some components, however, may cause a few bruises and scraped knuckles. Access is through a hatch in the saloon.
Below the express-style helm deck is a spacious motoryacht interior. The privacy afforded by centering the saloon between the two forward staterooms and the after cabin is appealing. The saloon area easily absorbs the galley, dinette and a settee. Two sets of side windows and a front windshield allow natural light to pour in, while the cherry provides warm, tasteful accommodations.
“The beauty is, you are on one level”, said DePouw. “Everybody is together.”
I’ve been on 60-footers with galleys smaller than that on the 455. The U-shape arrangement makes it easy for two people to work side by side. I also like the fact you can see out while cooking. Stacked side windows allow anyone standing or seated in the saloon area to see the scene outside.
The two forward guest staterooms share a common head. The second stateroom, with a combination washer/dryer and two twin berths, is tucked under the saloon. This area is well suited for doing laundry and tossing stores, but it may be a little tight for some guests to sleep in. The spacious forward stateroom has a walkaround queen berth and stowage that includes a walk-in hanging locker and several smaller lockers. The ceramic-tile sole in the head and solid cherry create an elegant atmosphere.
The master stateroom is where the motoryacht portion of the 455’s mission really comes out and grabs you. This stateroom is sure to make many buyers reach for their checkbooks. By situating the berth in the port corner, Cruisers was able to utilize more space in the cabin than on some similarly sized motoryachts. A large portion of this space is devoted to the stateroom. When the French doors between stateroom and head are open, the owner can watch television while soaking in the whirlpool tub. A vanity and hanging locker also are nestled in the space.
Cruisers did a great job identifying the best parts of an express boat and a flying-bridge motoryacht. Better yet, the company was able to successfully blend them into a comfortable, peppy cruiser. If you are having a hard time deciding what type of boat best suits your needs, it may make sense to consider the 455. She’s one boat that cuts the compromises to a minimum.

Cruisers Yachts 455 Express Review
Issue: September 2005
After more years than I care to remember conducting boat tests, I often comment that the team’s first impressions about any particular vessel are usually correct. But what does this mean?
Well, if on first inspection we find poorly completed joinery in the saloon, for example, or glue and Silicon smeared on various surfaces where it shouldn’t be, it’s an indication of poor attention to detail during the boat’s construction. So it stands to reason that if attention to detail is lacking in the simpler phases of a boat’s production, it’s a fair bet that other short cuts have been made. Maybe even during the vessel’s design.
But one should never totally rely on this first impression theory when it comes to evaluating boats, because sometimes these impressions can mask design innovations that make a vessel a true leader in it’s class.
Take the Cruisers Yachts 455 Express Motoryacht for example. Here’s a boat that, while it isn’t unattractive from the stern, it doesn’t quite have the express cruiser lines we’ve become used to. That’s also why she’s called an Express Motoryacht, not an Express Cruiser. But it is her ‘chunky’ aft section that allows for this hull to house a massive aft stateroom, giving her more usable interior space than on many larger craft . The 455 also has high cabin sides, which bow slightly from the gunwales, giving an excellent 6′ 5′ headroom in the main saloon. The high sides also allow for massive side and front cabin windows that really do bring the outdoors, indoors on the 455. But it’s below deck in the master stateroom where this boat shines.
The master suite comes complete with full-standing headroom, generous storage and a massive off set island bed with ample storage on either side. The stateroom also has its own private en-suite with a spa/bathtub that’s tucked away behind a lovely French door. What better way to relax than by taking a spa after a long day on the water. And talking of relaxing, in this cabin you can either read a book by natural light, or take in the latest movies on the TV/DVD. The forward stateroom is also tastefully laid out. It also features a large island bed, plenty of storage, a large walk-in wardrobe and a TV/DVD to keep the guests entertained. A large bathroom with full standing head height and separate shower, services the forward stateroom and third cabin. This cabin is sited on the starboard side below the saloon floor. It has full standing headroom at the foot of its twin bunks and its own hanging locker, but the headroom above the bunks is a bit low. There’s also a washer/dryer locker at the entrance to the third cabin.
The open-plan saloon off ers superb views of the surroundings in all directions. It features an Ultra-Leather lounge with double incliners, top quality sound system, 20′ LCD TV with DVD and a magnificent cherrywood finish throughout.
Hungry? Cook up a storm in the fully functional U-shaped galley, which features plenty of counter space, a large fridge/ freezer and a microwave/convection oven. A dishwasher and coffee maker are also available as options.
But what about that chunky aft deck Cruisers Yacht’s distinctive crossover design allows easy access to both helm and aft seating areas. The entire bridge area is enclosed by clears and closing port and starboard Perspex door, so this area can be completely sealed off from the elements. It also has seating for some 12 people and is an ideal spot to sit, enjoy a few quiet ones and watch the sun go down. But this cockpit also features an alfresco dining table, wet bar, icemaker, fridge, sink unit and a barbeque. Did somebody say party’
The helm station features full instrumentation for the twin Volvo TAMD75P EDC 480hp diesel engines, a comprehensive Raymarine electronics package and digital keyless ignition. The helm is ergonomically designed around the skipper with the electronic engine controls at your fingertips. There is a comfortable dual helm seat and an L-shaped lounge to port for passengers.
Above the helm seats are open hatches for better ventilation when the air-conditioning is not being used.
Opening the Perspex door and moving forward to the bow is made easy and secure by the thigh-high bowrail that extends all the way back to the aft cockpit. But the walkway around the cabin is a bit narrow and you need to use the grab rail on the cabin wall to steady yourself.
Performance
Twin freshwater-cooled 480hp Volvos provide plenty of grunt to effortlessly lift this more than 15,000kg boat out of the hole and onto the plane. And while this boat doesn’t have the sportsboat performance of some of its competitors, it is no slouch either. With a half load of fuel (950lt) and full water tanks (507lt), the 455 topped out at 27.3 knots pulling 2540rpm. But the good news is her fuel consumption. Cruising along comfortably at 20 knots, she only consumes 30lt per hour per engine.
Her steering is light and the bow responds quickly to even slight movements of the helm. On the day of this test the seas were calm, but we did manage to find a bit of swell rolling in past Sydney’s South Head. She tackled the swells head’on without banging, crashing, or any pause in her forward progress.
The interior design and layout of the Cruisers Yachts 455 Express Motoryacht is impressive. This American boat builder has created a 50ft -plus boat, in terms of interior space, inside a 45′ 6′ hull (includes integrated swim platform) with all the luxury and comfort a motoryacht of this calibre affords. Fully decked out with reverse-cycle air-conditioning, hydrauliclift swim platform, bow thruster, genset, de-salinator, auto pilot and much, much, more, the 455 costs around $1.3m.
Cruisers Yachts
There are nine express cruisers in the Cruisers Yachts line-up ranging from 31 feet through to 58 feet. All of these boats maintain the streamline express cruiser lines we have become familiar with, but Cruisers Yachts also produce three Express Motoryachts ‘ the 375, 405 and the 455 ‘ ranging from 40 to 45 feet. The motoryacht design allows Cruisers Yachts to incorporate spacious aft cabins in each of these powerboats, plus a roomy forward stateroom and either a comfortable third guest’s quarters, or a dinette that converts into a third double bed. This well and truly keeps Cruisers Yachts’ motoryachts in the family cruiser/owner’s plus friends boat class. The extended aft cockpit format adds extra entertaining space to the stern without the loss of below deck living area.
Engine Room
The 455 is powered by twin Volvo TAMD75P EDC 480hp diesel engines. Twin Yanmar 6CX-GTE 465hp diesels are optional.
On the day of the test with two adults, 950lt of fuel and 507lt of water onboard the 455 recorded the following performance figures.
Speed to RPM: 8 knots @ 1000 rpm, 10 knots @ 1500 rpm, 13.4 knots @ 1800 rpm, 16 knots @ 2000 rpm, 27.3 knots @ 2540 rpm.

Cruisers Yachts 455 Express Motoryacht
The 455 express motoryacht looks bulky, but its appearance belies a luxury interior and sporty performance never before seen from an aft-cabin cruiser.
I came aboard at swanky Rose Bay Marina, a spot popular for its deck cafe and ritzy seafood restaurant. I opened the convenient chain side gates to the boat, trotted along the wide walkaround decks and stepped up to the raised bridge.
The skipper tweaked the bowthruster, which wailed as they do, reversed the twin electronic shifts for the Volvo engines, and pirouetted the huge aft-cabin cruiser before the yabbering cafe crowd. But the babbling bunch of big-haired women looked up from their lattes only fleetingly and without pausing for breath as they continued sharing opinions about the best dog coiffeurs and haute couture.
Sorry, the 455 Express Motoryacht isn't as much a boat with big-city wow factor as one where the beauty lies within - quite literally - in a spa bath, no less. Head below to the full-width owner's cabin and you'll find something worth popping the cork over. And with an optional 90lt/h desalinator you can enjoy water caressing the hull sides and your sides forever more.
While the Whirlpool addition to the standard issue tub was an option, the spa is far from the only creature comfort on the contemporary 455 Express Motoryacht. In the finest of American pleasure-boating traditions you'll find a central vacuum system, reverse-cycle air conditioning, icemaker and wetbar, therapeutic mattresses, sound system with subwoofer, and 20in LCD television - to which the owner/dealer added an optional bowthruster, submersible boarding platform, extra televisions in the cabins, and more.
When it comes to life's luxuries the big Americans arguably do it best. And when it comes to homely cruisers with everything including several kitchen sinks, aft cabin motoryachts such as this new rendition from Cruisers Yachts rule the waves. If you were one of the 40,000-plus who waded through the rafts of luxury boats rubbing fenders at Sanctuary Cove Boat Show back in May you would have realised as much.
Indeed, aft cabin cruisers are back. Their return coincides with a period when we're at our most vulnerable, looking to be nurtured, fussed over, lavished and loved. It's then that voluminous, luxurious boats hold most sway, but they are not without limitations.
By necessity these high-volume, big-displacement boats usually plod along at eight knots and take an eternity to escape the madding crowds. Unless you are a retiree - not surprisingly the traditional market for aft-cabin motoryachts - then the slow cruising soon wears thin.
But it's the word 'express' in the moniker of this motoryacht that suggests otherwise. Not only are the lines more rakish than you'll find on the clunkers of yore, but the boat doesn't hang around. In fact, it cruises at 20kt, to reach that quiet anchorage and take a tub before sundown.
OUTDOOR LIVING Like most aft-cabin cruisers, including the Mariner 45 I lived aboard for some months, Cruisers Yachts 455 Express Motoryacht has outdoor living, entertaining and cruising room. You can waltz around the boat from bow to stern where, back aft, an optional hydraulic boarding platform will make dispatching the tender a snap.
Rated to 400kg to cater for jet skis and jet RIBs, the platform also conceals a central swim ladder. Nearby, is a handy hot/cold handheld shower, along with a Cablemaster self-stow Shorepower lead and connections for dockside TV, phone, power and water. The optional desalinator means you can go wild with the freshwater washdown.
Non-skid moulded stairs backed by handrails lead from the boarding platform to the aft deck where acrylic wing doors open onto the side decks or bulwarks backed by high rails that assist your passage forward. There are fender baskets above and below deck and this boat had the optional sunpad to create a teenagers' retreat away.
Meanwhile, the carpeted aft deck is a huge entertaining space for doing breakfast, lunch and dinner, dancing to the optional cockpit audio system with remote, or whiling away the time soaking up the ambience of a quiet anchorage somewhere. Elevation enhances the views and clear curtains provide weather protection. Or scroll them up in summer and let the summer breeze waft through the quasi veranda.
There is a more permanent enclosure offered around the cockpit, but the standard convertible arrangement seen here, with a hardtop and two sliding sunroofs and opening side curtains, suits our temperate climates. Besides, with the optional reverse-cycle air conditioning in the cockpit you have control over conditions anyway.
Cockpit seating includes an aft lounge that, with a couple of loose chairs, can seat at least six for lunch. Moulded tables are provided along with the moulded amenities centre loaded with a 12V/240V fridge, sink and icemaker.
There's also a convenient food-prep area and place to plonk the salad bowls, drinkholders, grabrail and a small sink. Considering the galley is some distance below decks, such features will be appreciated when catering.
The bridgedeck is one higher again, backed by a two-person helm 'love' seat with a bolster for more room when driving on your feet in rough weather. The portside crew lounge can seat three people within talking distance or serve as a chaise lounge when reclining on the upholstered backrest.
Aside from ergonomics, the helm seat offers vision to all quarters except the transom. The portside helm features a good spread of nav gear for passagemaking. The Raymarine electronics package featured a RL80C sounder/GPS plotter and an autopilot and VHF radio. Controls for the Sidepower bowthruster, searchlight, cherrywood wheel, hydraulic trim tabs, wipers, and impressive auto-like switch panels were all within reach.
The twin standard-issue 480hp Volvo engines (optional Yanmars) were accompanied by electronic EDC shifts, which I always enjoy using, electronic monitoring panels and keyless digital ignition. A sternthruster and, more importantly, an intercom are options. Best get one so you can dial up lunch.
THE INSIDE STORY Aft cabins are known for their cuddly interiors divorced from the open-air decks. The saloon on the 455 Express Motoryacht is down six steps from the cockpit, though it's not stuffy thanks to the surround the surrounding opening windows, portholes, skylights and hatches throughout the boat.
Soaring headroom, cream carpet and floor runners, buff-coloured vinyl, American cherry veneered joinery and Granicoat counters provide an industry-standard finish that's neither glitzy nor drab. Seating ranges from a four-person L-shaped lounge to port, under the AC/DC switch panel, that converts to a sofa bed and across to a U-shaped dinette alongside the starboard galley that can seat at least four for winter meals.
While it's not the biggest galley on a 45-footer, you have to embrace the domestic-sized fridge/freezer - the 50cm Sharp LCD TV mounted above is viewable from the saloon lounges - the twin sinks, handy food-prep space and servery, and storage. However, I wasn't so keen on the cupboard unit hanging from the ceiling that blocked the gourmand's vision.
The chef has a two-burner electric cooktop, but without any facility to stop pots slipping, and a basic microwave with no convection feature. The boat comes with a standard coffee maker, but take a tip and upgrade it.
Let's not forget engine-room access, either. As with every aft-cabin cruiser this isn't a strong point via a hatch in the saloon floor. Yet I was impressed by Cruisers' labelling of all the major components and the direct access to the pre-check items such as the fuel filters, sea strainers, dip sticks, batteries and coolant reservoirs.
There was reasonable entry to the 11kVA upgraded generator, air-con units and desalinator forward, but, oddly, the Volvo motors needed to be fitted here with a heat exchanger to complement the 240V 118lt hot-water service. Tankage was good for a liveaboard boat: 507lt of water, a huge 329lt holding tank with optional macerator pump, and a reasonable 1893lt of fuel. An oil-change system and interesting auto fuel-conditioning system are optional.
BEDS AND BATH This is one accommodating cruiser. The three separate cabins and saloon sofa bed let you collectively sleep eight adults aboard, while the two heads at either end of the boat ensure the owners quarters aft remain nice and private and provisioned with toiletries that the crew can't raid.
The boat had fitted bedding, available in several palettes and earthy colours with cheerful motel-like patterns, and a nice pillow package. Optional flatscreen televisions with DVD players and audio systems were fitted to the forward and aft cabins.
The VIP guest's cabin in the bow featured an island double berth of generous proportions, an illuminated walk-in cedar-lined wardrobe and loads of additional storage in cherrywood lockers, drawers and sidepockets for weekend wear and personals. Headroom and dressing room was present at the foot of the bed.
The second kids' cabin has single berths tucked under the saloon floor. Though there's no headroom over the beds, there's room to stand at the foot of the cherrywood storage unit and dress or retrieve your clothes from the optional washer/dryer.
The ensuite to the VIP cabin and dayhead also serves the starboard kids' cabin. The enclosure has a full shower with wrap-around acrylic screen, a genuine tiled floor, electric loo and opening porthole for ventilation. But when it comes to beds and, well, baths, the highlight is the owner's retreat, the raison d'être for buying an aft-cabin cruiser in the first place.
Down a few stairs and running virtually the full-width of the broad hull is a double bed offset to 45 degrees to the centreline, surrounded by loads of cabinetry including a dresser and stool, huge wardrobes, opening and aft windows offering a view of the ducks paddling astern. Well, they usually visit at the anchorage I frequent.
The wonderful ensuite splits the head and sink from the spa bath, which has a shower, rose above it. The only thing lacking was an ice bucket, two glasses and a bottle of French fizz. And French doors open between the two utility areas so you can step out of the spa and dry your wrinkly toes after breaking the Guinness Book of Records for a human immersion.
FAST GETAWAY But let's get back to the implications of that word express in Cruisers Yachts biggest motoryacht. All of the abovementioned creature comforts would count for nix if you didn't have the time to enjoy them in a surrounding other than the local marina. Unlike the plodding aft-cabin cruiser this 455 Express Motoryacht can make a fast getaway.
The boat performed surprisingly well and it wasn't overly weighed down by all that superstructure, not even in turns as tight as the twin shaft-driven 480hp Volvo diesels allowed. However, the hull was sporting some marine growth - not at all uncommon on harbour boats these days - and it didn't pull the 2600rpm one would expect.
Even so, I suspect Cruisers Yachts forecast 30–32kt top speed is with a dead empty boat. With all the options, full water and half of a tank of fuel - pretty heavily laden in other words - we hit a top speed of 25.4kt at 2500rpm. Perhaps 28kt is there to be had.
The cruise speeds matter more. At 1940rpm the boat did 15kt while the Volvos consumed 100lt/h in total - a tad high probably due to the marine growth - and it cruised at a desirable 20.1kt at 2200rpm while the motors consumed 135lt/h.
Being shaft-driven, the boat's handling could be described as predictable, noise levels weren't an issue, and the boat felt comfortable enough to venture beyond the harbour. Indeed, with the sun heading west I entertained the thought of finding an anchorage before dark, setting-up an anchor alarm, shutting down the engines and switching to house power.
Then, finally, after all the running around town, I would embark on that one custom so important to us cruising types. Yes, sundowners on deck followed by the new must-do - spa-downers and a long test of the aft-cabin bed.
- A fast mobile home, unlike aft-cabin clunkers
- Engine room not user-friendly
