The Boat

Description: The Privilage 45, which won Cruising World's award in 1995 for the best multihull cruiser, was widely regarded as one of the best in its class. Built primarily for up-market charter, the 45 closely resembles the well proven designs of previous models of the very successful Privilege line. Plush, private and spacious staterooms in the hulls with en-suite facilities accommodate 4 couples in ample comfort. The saloon space is well lit by large tinted windows and contains a dining area and navigation station. Fine joinery and quality furnishings and finishes give an enbracing impression of luxury. Forward of the saloon and as usual in a Privilege of sufficient size, there is a cabin in a central nacelle that can be used for guests or crew. Additional single crew berths can be fitted in the bows. Above deck the design applies the same successful formula as earlier models: large cockpit with a generous amount of seating and table space for dining: two trampolines forward and two lounge areas aft: swim ladders and swimming and diving platform aft.
