Since 1976, Formula has been 100% owned and managed by THE PORTER FAMILY, focused on continual product improvementthroughout the line, from the smallest Sun Sport to the superlative 45 Yacht. A dedicated team of employees do their best

every day, combining premium materials with detailed fit and finish to achieve the extraordinary standard of quality required in a Formula.

ONCE YOU CHOOSE THE PRESTIGIOUS FORMULA 45 YACHT, you’re in for the best times of your life. Formula integrates all the features you like best in a smart, versatile designthat’s as practical as it is impressive – double helm seating, comfortable portside and aft U-shape lounges in contrasting textures plus a safe center walkway to the foredeck all ensure truly enjoyable yachting ventures. The complete entertainment wetbar, versatile lounge tables that lower to create a larger sunning area, along with stainless drink holders at every turn, confirm Formula’s position in the forefront of marine design. You’ll receive photos as your dream yacht advances through production, or arrange for a tour of our facility and personally observe your yacht’s progress – we would love to host you.

THE 45’S NEWLY DESIGNED COUPE TOP presents elegant, sleek lines extending aft, and the integrated SureShade™ system upgrade automatically fulfills your preference for sun or shade. Also new for 2015, a forward cockpit glass enclosure beautifully extends cabin benefits with complete climate control while maintaining your panoramic view from the luxurious Ultraleather™portside lounge.

NEW GRAPHICS FOR 2015 bring a powerful edge to your designstatement with all new B and Vision Graphics along with new MetallicImrons®, Garnet and Moonlight Silver. With FormulaFlex™, accent colors are interchangeable, rewarding those with creativeimagination and a perceptive eye. MyWay™ upgrades put you further in the designer’s seat with the full range of Pantone® colors at your fingertips. Want your Formula Yacht to match your vehicle? Or your alma mater? Or the color of her eyes? You can do that with FormulaFlex MyWay.

IN THE COCKPIT, new dash panel selections of Dark Woodgrainor Charcoal Woodgrain create a dramatic setting, while the new dual flush-mount Raymarine gS165 chart plotter up-grade features striking liquid black dash panels. FormulaFlex now gives the ability to choose upholstery base, accent and piping colors to further communicate your individuality. The

latest technology updates keep you connected with multiple USB charging ports, Bluetooth and luminous blue-lit LED JL Audio® cockpit speakers as standard.

THE YACHT CABIN perfectly reflects your inspired flair through personal selection of residential cabinetry finishes, hand polished upscale Corian counters, attractive flooring surfaces, luxurious Ultraleather™ upholstery and beautifully coordinating fabric options. Choose your cabin décor from rich Latte, sophisticated Midnight Blue, the ever popular Morning Sand or urban influenced Graphite themes plus the elegant designer upgrades of Ralph Lauren® and Tommy Bahama®. All satisfy a broad scope in décor possibilities, further expanded with FormulaFlex. The complete galley invites all presentations from light refreshments to gourmet meals and features a lightedglass front cabinet displaying stemware and tumblers. The U-shaped lounge along with two stowable stools surround a genuine inlaid wood table. The foreward master suite is centered by a queen size memory foam bed and provides a private head with separate shower compartment. The private guest suite aft offers a mirrored vanity sink and head with shower. The twin beds also expand into queen size for inviting good nights.

IT’S TRUE – WE DON’T BUILD FOR THE MASSES, but we do build for you. You’ll probably never see another Formula exactly like yours. That’s what sets you apart. And that’s what makes your Formula boating even more rewarding. Reset. Revive. Refresh. To times forever remembered– the place you love to be.
