Caribbean 45 Flybridge Cruiser - Beautiful example of this popular model


'Taormina is one of the most well appointed and generously optioned Caribbean 45s I have had the pleasure of bringing to market. Powered by 565HP D Deck Detroits, she responds instantly when you ease the electronic throttles forward, reaching her 22-knot cruise in seconds. There is plenty of torque on hand when you need it, whether that means getting out of trouble, chasing a fish, or simply enjoying the ride.

If reliability is a key factor in your next boat purchase, these Detroits were rebuilt in 2025 and have logged less than 40 hours since. That should give the next owner many years of happy boating before any major expense is likely.

Inside, she has benefited from a range of tasteful cosmetic upgrades. From plush carpet and updated vinyl upholstery to roman blinds and new mattress covers, she presents beautifully.

Her master cabin includes a private ensuite with electric toilet, vanity, and separate shower stall. Forward, the guest cabin offers three tournament style single berths, with the lower berth large enough to potentially sleep two. In the main living area, the lounges convert to sleep at least two more.

The mezzanine galley layout is a real highlight on these Caribbeans. It offers room for a chef and a helper, excellent bench space, generous storage, a ceramic electric cooktop, microwave, and eutectic refrigeration. Natural light flows into the galley, and it stays nicely connected to the saloon for easy entertaining.

The flybridge includes two bucket seat helm chairs, a forward facing bench seat, and even a fold up table for those days when you simply want to sit back at rest and enjoy the surroundings or sunset.

Combined electronic gear and throttle controls make handling very easy. A second helm station with similar controls and gauges is located in the saloon. This lower station is especially helpful on long passages, when berthing, or when the skipper simply wants to stay among the guests while entertaining.

The saloon feels open, relaxed, and made for easy living. As you would expect on a Caribbean, double sliding doors open to the rear deck and connect the spaces beautifully. Together, they create one large and inviting area for entertaining.

A 3.6m Brig rigid inflatable tender sits on the foredeck and is easy to launch and retrieve with the 250kg Davco electric davit. Powered by a powerful 30HP Honda outboard, the Brig is ideal for getting between bays, checking the cray pots or towing the kids around on a board.

For deck space and relaxed open plan living, the Caribbean 45 offers outstanding value. She can comfortably suit two families, an Abrolhos adventure, or an easy overnight on the Swan.
