Is this €1 million flagship of the Sargo range, the 45 Explorer, the ultimate all-season boat?
In this in-depth review, test drive and walkthrough, Jack Haines experiences the 45 Explorer in home territory of the Finnish archipelago to see how the boat performs in the environment it was made for (even if it turned out to be a little too calm!)
The 45 Explorer is available with sterndrives or IPS, the latter proving the more popular option in the boats built thus far. It’s capable of around 36 knots flat out but it’s the efficient cruising performance that really stands out. She’ll cruise anywhere from 15-30 knots and still maintain a range of around 400nm with the optional 2,000-litre fuel tank.
On board, there is the option to have two or three cabins on the lower deck, the former granting more space to the owner’s cabin and ensuite bathroom, forward. The three-cabin version is popular, though, as it provides comfortable and private sleeping space for six adults.
The level of practical detailing is truly outstanding, as you will see throughout the tour. It’s a lot of money for a 45-footer but the Sargo 45 Explorer is one of the most capable boats you can buy at this size.
