The Cooper Sloop 745 presents an appealing blend of traditional styling, thoughtful design, and relaxed cruising comfort. Designed as a premium lounge style day boat, it offers the charm of a classic sloop profile with the practicality and reliability expected from a modern GRP build and Yanmar diesel power.
Its displacement hull form delivers a stable and confidence-inspiring ride, making it especially well-suited to low-speed cruising, entertaining, and leisurely exploration of sheltered waterways. The generous freeboard, comfortable proportions, and impressive social space create a welcoming onboard environment for owners who value both elegance and ease of use.
Well regarded for its economical diesel operation and distinctive appearance, the Cooper Sloop 745 appeals to buyers seeking a refined day boat that is equally at home hosting guests, enjoying a family outing, or simply providing an effortless escape on the water. Stylish, practical, and increasingly hard to find, it is a vessel that offers genuine character as well as everyday usability.
